I'll be the first to confess to primal responses to some screen actresses, and those responses don't always match my aesthetic judgments or intellectual notions of beauty.
Grace Kelly has every meter pegged on my machines . . . .
It's fitting that she's in Sex Education," not "classic Stars of the Silver Screen."
I'll throw in a vote for Ingrid Bergman as the all-time great screen beauty and one of the most beautiful women who ever graced this planet. When she walks into Rick's for the first time, it almost hurts just to look at her.
Grace Kelly is without a doubt a timeless, classic beauty, but that blueblooded Eastern American accent drove me nuts. I could still watch Rear Window or To Catch A Thief all day long, though.
I've never seen the fascination with Garbo the actress/star. But she was beautiful. All great choices on here--Ava, Lana (of course), Audrey, Ingrid, Joan Blondell, Grace. Also, Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn (but we all knew that), the young, pre-flab Liz Taylor, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinale, Jean Simmons, and Kim Novak.

Classic.
With no offense meant to Joan Blondell, I'm on record as as saying that Grace is the most beautiful woman ever to be on the silver screen.
Soo gorgeous!
I am in Booksteve's camp.
Grace Kelly is my Number One Seed.

Hubba hubba
Props to Grace, but Ava Gardner may be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in movies. Mogambo makes my head explode: Grace AND Ava together!
The most elegant of Ladys to ever drop in on a fella hold up in his shabby Digs, spying on his neighbors.

They had faces then.
"the most beautiful woman ever to be on the silver screen"? Greta Garbo, anyone? :)
Grace comes in second, though. A few days ago I rewatched High Noon, for that matter, and she's really, erm, graceful as the innocent quaker girl.
...and can't help but I must mention the young Joan Crawford.
I'm not the biggest "Blond" fan..but I make exceptions for Mz Kelly..especially where Hitch is involved..
totally agree with Booksteve although
I have a soft spot for Audrey Hepburn
as well!!
ooh, Ava Gardner.. she was really something
else.. she broke Sinatra's heart ya know.
how about Lana Turner while we're at it?
they damn sure stopped making beautiful
women like they used to!!
I'm a Brooksie guy - she's the one for me.
