Hey Popul Vuh - Ines Sastre will probably never be in a big Hollywood blockbuster and I don't even know, to be honest with you, if she's that great of an actress. I saw her in an Italian film called (as I recall) The Best Man. She's supposed to marry this creepy oily mafia type but she falls almost instantly in love with his best man - it's sort of a comedy/romance/fairy tale type of film.

I agree, SXViper, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You're definitely not alone in your appreciation of Charlize Theron. B) And you won't get any arguments from me on Catherine Zeta-Jones, either.

Just in case anyone doesn't know what Gene Tierney looks like (she's not terribly well-known), here's a link:

She's like the female equivalent of Gregory Peck - such beautiful, finely wrought features.

I forgot Sean Connery (for actors that I like who are still working, I mean).

I wonder if the women men find beautiful are the same as the women women find beautiful. I don't think Charlize Theron is that great, quite frankly, but I have to admit Keira Knightley is really pretty. Halle Berry is incredibly beautiful, but I think she's had some plastic surgery. What about Kate Winslet?

If I had to pick someone I'd seen on screen recently who I think is most beautiful, I'd say it's a Spanish model/actress named Ines Sastre.

I think she's absolutely gorgeous.

Classic movie gals who are gorgeous, IMO, are Ingrid Bergman (no shocker there) and Gene Tierney. What cheekbones. I also think Maureen O'Hara was stunning. If you see her in The Hunchback of Notre Dame she's even more beautiful than in any movie she did with Duke. She absolutely glows.

I forgot to mention Dennis Quaid. I really like him.

I'm having a hard time naming females I like. Can't even think of one!

Not very many, I'm afeard.

Russell Crowe is the only person in recent memory that has exicted me in any tangible way. He's very good. I've always liked Gene Hackman. Matt Damon has been pretty good lately in those "Bourne" movies. Tom Hanks is always good. I used to really enjoy Harrison Ford but not so much lately. I like Robert DeNiro but I've grown weary of the cussing and violence in many of the films he's in.

I do enjoy A Bronx Tale, a film he directed back in '93. I don't know if others have seen it, but it's got he and Chazz Palminteri and a kid named Lillo Brancato, Jr. who's a dead ringer for a young DeNiro. Again, though, this is the kind of film I'd be embarrassed to watch with my mom or with my young nephews. Too many f-words.
