Who is your favorite *classic* Hollywood beauty icon?

I saw something similar on another board and I thought I'd bring it here.

I love Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner. I love their hair, makeup, and clothing styles. It's just so beautiful and classy.

What do you guys think? Who are your favorite *classic* Hollywood icons?

I really like fred astaire and ginger rogers. Love them, especially together... her dresses were amazing.

Hmm, as for the others, there is one that I am thinking of but I cant remember her name. There were so many classy, gorgeous women back then!

Ingrid Bergman, does she count as a Hollywood icon?

Grace Kelly is gorgeous too, as is Ava Gardner.

I guess i'll be all cliche with marilyn monroe. shes always been my favorite, and we share the same birthday. i adore her blonde locks.

Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Vivien Leigh, Audry Hepburn.

dorothy dandridge and lena horne

Oh! I know she's not really a Hollywood icon, not the same way some of the others mentioned are, but I just LOVE Eartha Kitt!

Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O.

Audrey Hephburn

Lauren Bacall

Bette Davis

Marlene Dietrich

Rita Hayworth, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn

Hmm . . . she's not really Hollywood but I wanna say Mae West <3

I'm also going to say Marilyn Monroe. I always loved how beautiful she was.

Ava Gardner, Lauren Bacall, and Judy Garland because she's so cute in the Wizard of Oz !

Vivien Leigh because she is the only actress that has actually made me believe she was a southerner. She nailed the southern accent in TWO fabulous movies and she was British. All actors should watch her in Gone with the Wind and Streetcar Named Desire to see what an actor can do with a southern accent. Most actors totally bomb in their attempts to be southern.

Grace Kelly. She is in so many great classic movies. Rear Window and Mogambo are my favorites.

Marilyn Monroe. My house is full of her photos and I have almost every book written about her.

Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn

Mae West for sure!
