Candice Bergen

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 character of that lost art. Candice later played photographer Margaret Bourke-White in Gandhi (right), and Margaret never looked so good! She actually had more success later in TV, winning Emmys for her popular liberal reporter, Murphy Brown. She's still beautiful today in her 60's as a lawyer in Boston Legal (btm.rt), with glasses and silver-blonde hair. Eye Candice indeed, and we've been lucky enough to watch her gracefully grow for half a century now.

Katherine Heigl

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 peeling down to her underwear so everyone could ogle her bod and 'get it over with already'. Had I only known that would work back in high school! A beautiful woman can wear her hair 'any old way', and still be beautiful, like Katherine.
