overrated beauty indeed (Sun Sep 27, 2009 12:47am ET)report post

Elizabeth Taylor wasn't even that beautiful. Her only extremely beautiful feature is her eyes, they are gorgeous but she has a long face, she always had a double chn, a huge forhead, everything else was insipid. And the horrible clothes, yuck.

I understand why she's considered beautiful, but I don't find her beautiful myself.

Sophia Loren (1934- ) is an Italian film actress. She starred in dozens of films in the 1950s and 1960s, both in Italy and in Hollywood. Most were between bad and forgettable, but what people remember is her amazing beauty.

According to this blog she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I have never seen a more beautiful woman than Sophia Loren at her height. Not in any other country nor in any other age. She is more beautiful than I thought a woman could be

I've never thought Liz Taylor was as beautiful as everyone claims, simply because of her eye makeup.

i agree. liz taylor did have attractive eyes but other than that the rest of her face is just purely overrated. the only attractive thing about her was just her eyes.

elizabeth taylor was beautiful but mainly because of her eyes, that was it, and I wouldnt say she is queenly, she was incredibly vulgar.

Schönheit ist Geschmacksache. Unbestritten ist daß Liz zwischen 1950-1970 einer der schönsten Stars war. Ich habe sie mehrmals persönlich gesehen. In Budapest, Wien und am Broadway. Wunderbar.(in New York einmal ohne Make up vor der Vorstellung.Perfektes Gesicht
und damals auch schlank.

Oddly enough she has never considered herself a beautiful woman. She has said that she had always thought Ava Gardner was a much more beautiful woman.

So far as standards of beauty, I'm sure it doesn't hurt to be able to discern colors. Certainly comes in handy when decorating a room, or while dressing one's self. As for how color sensitivity affects one's ability to assess physical beauty on human beings, I can't say. I've never thought Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful. Nor have her eyes ever looked violet, to me.

Some of her modest films are still watchable today, contrary to their reputation, and it is the more ambitious movies which let the audience down. The much despised "The Girl Who Had Everything" is still entertaining, as is "Love Is Better Than Ever". However, "The Last Time I Saw Paris" is boring because it repeatedly flouts one of the primary rules of narrative. Again and again, there is no narrative progress within a scene, so that the situation at the end of the scene is exactly the same as at the beginning.

Yet neither the decline in her looks nor the scandalised response to her private life affected Elizabeth's career in the 1960s. She was able to command huge sums for making a film, although almost none of the movies were much admired. The media was now interested only in her private life and her finances, and never tired of reporting how much she had spent buying a particular diamond or throwing a party. As the decade progressed, Elizabeth's name became synonymous with financial extravagance and vulgarity. When challenged about the way she spent money, Elizabeth would dryly declare that it was good for the economy!

Elizabeth is one of the most influential films stars ever. More than any other star, she demonstrated that it was possible to have a successful career in the teeth of ferocious personal criticism, and that it was not necessary to kow-tow to columnists or pressure groups. She also demonstrated that the general public would continue to support an actor of whose private life they might not approve. Elizabeth was the first film star to demand a million dollars as her starting price for making a movie, and was also the first to demand that entire movie projects should be re-constructed around her. The demands that Elizabeth pioneered are commonplace among big stars now, but today's stars should recognise that the path was cleared for them by Elizabeth Taylor.

One extraordinary aspect of Elizabeth's career has not been noted at all. Whereas Marilyn Monroe became better-looking as she matured, Elizabeth's looks deteriorated early. She was far more beautiful between her late teens and mid twenties, when she was merely famous but not yet supremely famous, than she was when her name and reputation were known even to people who never went to the cinema.

I agree with Topsyturvey. I dont see the big fuss about liz either. i think grace kelly was the most gorgeous in her day. Far more beautiful than liz could ever be.

I agree with you. Liz not as appealling or as natural as many other actresses... i remember seeing a shot of her taken by Roddy McDowell in the early 50's without makeup, and not very impressive... Liz had a tendency to really lay on the makeup when she was young.. I agree that others were prettier than Liz.

Liz was attractive but not that stunning. There were actresses just
as better looking as her.

I was wonderin' if any of you could help me.

I'm looking for a movie that starred Elizabeth Taylor. I forgot what the title was. All I know is that one of Tchaikovsky's songs was a recurring theme and that the story line went something like this:

There's this really talented musician. I think he was dating Taylor. But later, he dumps her, and it's this whole story about how she copes with that and such. Can any of you help??
