What woman (someone whose photo is available on the Internet, of course) do you think has the most beautiful face, irrespective of anything else about her? (Women in paintings etc. don't count.)

I'm just wondering what people will say---I can't really separate a woman's face from the rest of her body.

I have girl crushes on Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angelina Jolie. Also, Anne Hathaway is so beautiful it's almost unreal - she looks like a cartoon Disney princess come to life.

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only person (male and female) on Earth that doesn't find Jolie the least bit attractive.

It's hard to think of the most beautiful face, but I do really like Audrey Hepburn.

Its a toss up for me between Reiko Aylesworth of 24 Morena Baccarin of Firefly fame. Morena is my pick for the lead in Wonder Woman.

For Morena:

Nope. I agree with kat about Anne Hathaway -- she looks like a real life Belle.

I find that really funny because I'm told a lot that I look like those two [Smile] It's not really true and no, I don't have those weird lips but ever since I was little people would tell me I looked like 'em.

Edited to add: I have to admit, I think Jolie is really pretty.

Helen Slater.
Kate Beckinsale.

And it's weird... I had crushes on Jodie Foster and Kristy McNichol, but I wouldn't put them on this list. It's their behavior more than the beauty of their faces, I think. Helen Slater has both. Kate Beckinsale, it's just her face.

I've long been haunted by Robin Wright's beauty in The Princess Bride.

But my favorite female face is that of Mimi Rogers, and it has as much to do with the intelligence and animation in her eyes as with her bone structure. I love her crooked grin. [Smile]

Edited to add: No worries, MyrddinFyre. If I hadn't caught it, I'd have wanted to be told about it. Thanks!

General first responses include:
Audrey Hepburn
Liv Tyler
Jennifer Garner
Keira Knightley
Nichole Kidman

Others that I also think have beautiful faces, though perhaps not my initial response

Uma Thurman (not your typical features, but still stunning)
Jessica Alba
Alysson Hannigan

Wow, I've certainly heard of Grace Kelly, but I don't know that I've ever seen a picture of her. That's really odd.

I must admit, she does appear to be absolutely flawless.

Well, I couldn't say who the most beautiful woman who ever lived was or is, since I haven't seen all women. With that caveat, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the flesh was Natalie Wood. When I was in my early teens, my family would go to the Hollywood Christmas Parade every year, and she would always ride with her children on the float with Santa Claus at the end of the parade. Her photos often don't do her justice, but she was an amazingly beautiful woman.

See, I don't get the whole Jennifer Garner thing. When Alias first started, I thought she had good energy, but she's a little horsey faced. How did she get to be considered a great beauty?

I don't know either. That's always been one that made me shrug.

(Oh and I will third the Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway endorsements.)

Who knows - she's really, amazingly unattractive. She's got a body, but from the neck up she's...yeah, really, really unattractive, by both normal people and celebrity standards.

On the hot list...

Sabrina Sato
Aline Nakashima

I loves me the Japanese Brazilian women.

Of course, you can't ignore the classics, but most of them have already been covered here (Hepburn, Zeta-Jones, Grace Kelly).

eh, I was having this kind of discussion with a female friend of mine the other day, and it all comes down to what each individual sees as beautiful:

i.e. Angelina Jolee doesn't do much for me, and neither do any number of other "officially beautiful" celebrities.

yet others such as Uma Thurman, Sara Silverman etc which are generally seen as at least pretty I personally consider gorgeous...

Neither did I, beyond what eros said, until I saw 13 Going On 30. She's freaking adorable, and I want to squeeze her. In a total non-sleazy way.

Katie, Jeff agrees with you on Anne Hathaway-- he thinks she's just the prettiest little thing ever. He thinks Natalie Portman is pretty, too. (Which I don't mind because he says I'm the most beautiful woman in the world. There's a difference.)

My uncle has a crush on Giadia deLaurentis.

I can't even decide, there are so many women I think are pretty...

With that recommendation from a like-minded individual, I may have to see 13 going on 30. o_O

As for current people, I really like Rachel Weisz or Halle Berry. But the most beautiful face ever? It's too difficult... I suppose I'd second or third Audrey Hepburn.

I like Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron. Ooh, and Ingrid Bergman, she had great cheekbones. I also think Katherine Hepburn has a beautiful face, but not in a typical way. Devon Aoki (she was in Sin City) has a face like a porcelain doll, pale and perfectly clean.

I love old movies. From the first time I saw her, I thought Virginia Mayo was the absolute most beautiful woman ever. She didn't age all that well, but in her prime . . .

As for beautiful faces from old movie's, none was ever prettier than Kim Novak. Best known to people as the blonde in Hitchcock's Vertigo. She had the most intense eyes ever.

I think Emilie de Ravin looks amazing on Lost. Perhaps one of the most unlikely things about a show about unlikely things is how good she always looks on a deserted island.

I can't stand Katie and Kristin, though. Particularly Kristin. They used to call her "preternaturally pretty". <brr> Shiri is more like the girls I used to go to summer camp with and have crushes on.

I figured you weren't pulling a Robin and proclaiming your love of pedophilia, I was just noting that really, they look really young! How old are they really? The one on the right especially looks like she's barely pubescent.

Well, Michelle Trachtenberg did play the younger sister on Buffy (age about 14-16, IIRC), so I guess she had to look the part for that. That pic looks like it was taken around that time--there are plenty on GIS where she looks older. She'll be 21 this year and Emilie de Ravin will be 25, according to IMDB.

One of steven's claims is that improved diet translates to better bones and teeth (which, presumably would affect facial structure?), and the crackpot, I mean doctor, whose studies he cites as proof of this phenomenon is Pottenger and his cat studies.
