Gentlemen: The most beautiful actress from the beginning of film up to the 50's....

I agree. Here are a few more.

Among the hundreds of beautiful stars, Lana Turner circa 1939-1940, was certainly up there with the best of them.

Edit to say: I'm not a gentelman, but still...[huh]

 

[dostacos]

Myrna Loy!

A few ladies that have gone unmentioned...

Brenda Marshall

Ann Sothern

Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane in Tarzan and Jane

Carole Landis

Dana Wynter and Sophia Loren :eusa_clap

I know I'm no gentlemen but Ava Gardner is hands down the most beautiful creature ever to walk the face of the earth.

Hazel Brooks was also stunning.

but then again who wasn't stunning back then?

 

[deadpandiva]

I can't find any good pictures but I always thought that Theresa Harris was very beautiful.

And Virginia O"Brien

With so-many beautiful women then, I find it very hard to pick only one, but I will say this photo of Miss Lake always, always gets my attention.

 

[Steve]

Without a doubt, Grace Kelly. Classic beauty.

Veronica Lake comes in a close second.

I agree with Fletch, Myrna Loy

They all looked stunning..... Greta was wonderful; Marlene always looked amazing on film, though in reality she must have been tiny - I've seen her costumes at the film museum in Berlin, and I reckon I could have had both hands around her waist!

If we're allowed to go into the mid 50s, and flexible enough to allow for "aspiring-never-quite-made-it-as-an-actresses", it has to be Bettie Page for me.

 

[PA Dancer]

Naw...she's just way to thin.

Here's one of my favourite photos of her.

 

[BeBopBaby]
