My favorite will always be:

Lauren Bacall

I fell in love with her in the movie "To Have and Have Not". Bogie was a lucky man.

Fun thread! So many to choose from, I cant narrow it down.

I'm partial to Hedy Lamar and Dorothy Lamour. I think both are stunning.

Sue Lyon is beautiful too.
Natalie Wood had dreamy eyes.
Carol Baker was lovely.
Grace Kelley had stunning beauty.
Leslie Caron was one of my all-time favorites. (Loved the French accent).
For an earlier starlet, Clara Bow was just drop-dead sexy imo.

I'm sure all of these names have been mentioned before but here's my list (in no particular order):

Grace Kelly
Ingrid Bergman
Audrey Hepburn

And from an earlier era - Louise Brooks...

I'm a lady, but I am enjoying the pics on this thread. They just don't make them like this anymore. The only two modern actresses I can think of that even compare are Charlize Theron and Keri Russell. What has changed?

But to answer the original question, Maureen O'Hara, Grace Kelly, Olivia DeHaviland, and Joan Fontaine are my favorites.

My all time favorit is and forever will be the forementioned Vivien Leigh. She was a goddess. But 2nd place for me is the almost forgotten Virginia Cherrill. She was the blind girl in Charlie Chaplins City Lights. I saw her and was completely lost:

I can't decide who's coming in on 3rd place. There are just too many...

If it counts that a person being on film would qualify for this (being a star in my eyes) I would have to vote my Mom! Yep. Have to admit it, she was...HOT in her day. And I do recall my Dad having one of those key winder movie camera's for filming the family on vacations.....

I have to agree with many of the choices in this thread, especially Vivian Leigh, Loretta Young, Veronica Lake, and Ava Gardner. But I just happened across this lovely lady in another thread and did some research and came up with these pictures which took my breath away:
