I was attracted first to Naomi Watts' acting, especially her Oscar®-nominated role in 21 Grams, also in the well-crafted horror fantasy The Ring, and it's sequel, later in Eastern Promise, Viggo Mortenson's best (Oscar nominated).She was born in England but raised in Australia. I started seeking out her films and finally saw how changeable she could become, as in Somerset Maugham's The Painted

Scarlett burst into public prominence as a young teenage actress, first being noticed in the indie classic Welcome to the Dollhouse. Since then she's made over 20 films, likely being one of the few actors in history with as many films as her age, being born in 1984, so she's still only 24. Her most acclaimed and demanding part was as the friend of Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, when both

Natalie was discovered on Long Island by a fashion modeling rep in a laundromat with her mom. When she showed up for a fashion shoot, she was sent to audition for Luc Besson's film The Professional. She got the lead part with no experience at age 12. She has since starred in many films, including the second Star Wars trilogy, and garnered an Oscar nomination for supporting actress for her daring

African-American actress Berry is not only beautiful enough to have once been the Revlon Girl (other recent ones were Salma Hayak and Andie McDowell), but has also won an Oscar for best actress. This is my favorite photo of her (left), a work of art by itself and one I've used as my desktop wallpaper.I've heard her name pronounced "holly" and "halley", but it doesn't matter, "a rose by any other

Indian actress Aishwarya, or "Ash" as she's called by fans, could be the most beautiful actress in the world right now. I think a billion fans would agree. She can also sing and dance, often tours worldwide, and some of her best movies are musicals, like Bride and Prejudice (2004), or historical epics that include music, like Jodhaa Akbar (2007).Here's a shot from Jodhaa Akbar (rt.) from her

Zhang is considered the most popular actress in the world, with an estimated one billion fans. Most people first saw her in the action film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but she had earlier appeared in Zhang Yimou’s award-winning The Road Home (1999) as a teenager. At 80 lbs, she impressed the martial arts trainers for Tiger and later Yimou’s Hero (photo left), for her determination and skill

Rona Hartner is a stunning and unique beauty from Bucharest, Romania. She gained international acclaim for her role as a dancing and singing gypsy in the 1998 film Gadjo Dilo ("The Crazy Stranger"), for which she won several international acting awards. ...and can she dance! (This is a woman you want to know!)She not only acts, but records music CDs, does artwork, is an incredible photo model.

Timeless beauty! Black haired, green-eyed Jennifer first caught my eye as a 12 yr old ballerina in Once Upon a Time in America (photo right), and has since grown into a dazzlingly beautiful and talented actress, with an Oscar for A Beautiful Mind, and ‘girl next door’ appeal. She must keep a low profile, for you never hear her mentioned with the other film sirens, yet she’s obviously one of the

Brando burst into film and gave acting a new style (method) for the next half a century. He seemed to embody smoldering angst, threatening to burst open at any moment in a volcano of emotion, yet on the surface he appeared confident enough that he 'had the world on a string'. He became an icon to the nation in the biker movie The Wild One (1953), photo rt. and dig the high-heels, as leader of a

One of the most photogenic models ever, Candice easily made the transition to films in Mike Nichols' Carnal Knowledge, and made everyone's fantasies by cheating on boyfriend Art Garfunkel with his roommate, a very young Jack Nicholson. Candice's famous father was Edgar Bergen, a popular ventriloquist whose dummy Charlie McCarthy was just as well known as its creator, and became the most popular

You never think of her as the most beautiful 30’s star, nor do you think of her as a siren, but Myrna created one of the most lovable characters in all of film in Nora Charles, wife of detective “thin man” Nick Charles played by William Powell (photo right, the 'thin man' was actually a suspect, not Nick, my review is here: Thin Man Series).She was deft with comedy, had such a lovable smirk that

One of the most striking African-Americans stars ever, Lena was so lightly-complected that she first passed for white in order to get work, then starred in the all-black A Cabin in the Sky for Vincente Minnelli, the first big director to make such a film. Lena had the looks and especially the voice, sultry and smooth, to be a star in films or music, so she combined the two. I’m sure she actually

Ann-Margret is not only a gorgeous and sexy redhead, but a great all–around entertainer: singer, dancer, actress, author. At home with comedy (Grumpy Old Men), drama (Oscar nomination for Carnal Knowledge, definitely check that out), or musicals (Bye Bye Birdie, Viva Las Vegas). She’s been in films for over four decades, still does her musical act to sold out audiences, and is still beautiful!

Roshan is a popular and award-winning Indian actor, born into a cinema family on January 10, 1974. His first film wasn't until 2000, Kahonaa...Pyaar Hii (2000), followed by Koi.. Mil Gaya (03), Krrish (06), Dhoom 2 (06), and Jodhaa Akbar (07), which I saw, about the Muhgal King who united Hindustan and promoted religious freedom and other humanitarian advances.I'm sure Hrithik's green eyes and

The greatest Spanish export since the guitar, Penelope always brings a zest for life into her performance, and has rarely done a film you can’t enjoy. Classic Mediterranean dark looks, pouty lips, terrific body she doesn’t mind exposing, she’s become one of the sexiest film stars alive – just ask former bf Tom Cruise and current bf Oscar-winner Javier Bardem. Most first saw her with Cruise in the

New rising star Heigl of tv's Grey's Anatomy and the Emmy award winner for dramatic supporting actress has already successfully transitioned to films, with 27 Dresses and Knocked Up. She has the glamourous look of the 40's stars, and likely has more awards in her future, probably in film. She opened eyes on Grey's by having a pinup in her past in season one that everyone mocked her for, then

Salma started as a Mexican soap opera actress on tv, where they are allowed to be topless! She's not only a gorgeous Latina with jet black hair (and a Lebanese father), but knows how to fill out a dress like the classic film sirens of the 40’s and 50’s. She also will unabashedly get naked on screen, usually tastefully as well, as a skinny-dipping frolic in the waves in After the Dust showed.

From everyone’s favorite jailbait in tv's Who’s the Boss, Alyssa became a major pinup star under her mom’s management, who knew that sex sells, especially barely legal babes. A poster was made with Alyssa naked and caked in mud that sold millions. Still basically a tv star, for some odd reason she cut her hair off and has almost lost her goddess status, but these pics should prove she grew up

Kim was born in Athens, GA, and I lived there for 8 years – she was only three yrs younger, but I never saw her – bummer! At least I can claim her and Holly Hunter as “fellow Athenians”, two Oscar winners! (Georgia has many: Joanne Woodward, Julia Roberts, Geraldine Paige are others). She started as a model and cover girl, appearing in Playboy, before turning to a film career. She took acting

Michelle started out stunning, but in a bad films. She then grew even more beautiful, began acting for real, and moved up to great films, like her Oscar-nominated performance as a moralistic preacher's wife in Dangerous Liaisons, and Scorsese's Age of Innocence.Married to tv writer/creator David Kelly (L.A. Law, Ally McBeal, Boston Legal), she almost certainly influenced those shows. We can only

French actress Deneuve was born in 1943 to two actors, so the cinema came naturally to her and she started making films in the 60's. The most famous were Roman Polanski's Repulsion and Belle Du Jour, (color photo) in which she played a bored housewife who spent her days in a high-class brothel. She has aged very gracefully and is still quite beautiful, and became a much better actress over time,

Dominique was born Dominique Marie-Françoise Renée Varaigne in Paris, in 1948. She appeared in some major award winning European films such as Bertolucci’s The Conformist (1970), and De Sica’s Garden of the Finzi-Continis (1971).Unfortunately for us, she didn't make very many films, and for some unknown reason, finding info and pics of her is not too easy, she’s more unforgettable to some of us

Perhaps the most popular and enduring screen goddess, the Swedish born Garbo had a timeless beauty that seems to transcend all eras. She has such a warm, friendly face that she seems to combine all the warmest qualities of friend and lover. She also had the grace to retire from the screen when young and beautiful.This photo is a rare early one from the mid 20's. She started in silent films, with

Brooks was another 20's vamp, often appearing in racy films where she was a temptress, a prostitute, a femme fatale. Pandora's Box (1929) is the most famous, available on dvd. She also had 'it', along with Clara Bow, and I think she epitomized the phrase bedroom eyes.

In the roaring twenties, Clara was designated the "IT girl", with it being sex appeal, apparently something you couldn't say in public, so you had to use 'it'. She was actually considered the first sex symbol from films, with a modern look, which seems to scream available. My grandmother was born in 1890 and loved Clara (also Charles Laughton and Rudolph Valentino, and of course thought Gable '

Mary Pickford is likely the first major screen idol from films. She became the nation's sweetheart (just look at the cat photo), then married the popular Douglas Fairbanks, and they built the famous house Pickfair in Hollywood. The photo to the right is from 1918, and displays a classical beauty similar to a Renoir painting.

As an artist, I've always appreciated beauty in all forms, especially the female form. In the "good old days", these women would have been the inspiration and models for artists, painters and sculptors. The modern equivalent is the actress/model/performer (sometimes the lines blur) and the most permanent modern medium is to be recorded on film in everything from movies to tv to photos.I have many
