The Most Beautiful Women post

Every once in a while, while watching a film, I have been struck with how beautiful an actress is. I may have seen her before in other roles, or maybe it is the first time I've seen her in a film. Perhaps the cameraman has just the right lighting, the makeup is perfect, or maybe it's a character that is particularly likable. More likely, she is just naturally gorgeous.

Here are women that gave me a sudden "Wow. That woman is beautiful" moment. It hasn't happened often, and of course, there are many attractive actresses out there--Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Olivia de Haviland to name a few-- that haven't produced quite the same reaction. And I'm sure there will be others, or maybe I just haven't seen the right film.
