A timeless beauty.

I don't know about "matronly" and "frumpy" - she looks extremely good for a woman of her age, still very attractive. She has the good sense to dress and style her hair appropriately. I think she was one of the most beautiful young women ever, and the comment about her having the face of a child and the body of a woman is very perceptive: the childishness and womanliness are both pushed to extremes.
There are sexy woman who aren't really beautiful in an aesthetic sense, but, after a long period when I had not seen her in her youth, I recently saw Madeline Smith and realised, yes, by any criterion this was an exceptionally beautiful young woman. Not only that, she exudes a genuine niceness which is confirmed by her interview (as are her intelligence and common sense - another rare combination!). -

Saw her at a Bond convention about 17 years ago and she still looked beautiful. Really nice person as well. Still have the picture she signed for me!

I am a BIG fan of Madeline Smith. However, when I shamelessly said that she looked
"frumpy" at around 60 years old, I wasn't kidding.anddespite that, we are probably not in disagreement. When you saw her 17 years ago she was around 42 years old and still in the last phases of what can be called her prime. A woman at 42 and a woman at 60 are not the same (the same can be said of men, yes I know). Whatever the case, time is a dastardly thief and has always found delight in stealing beauty away from women as they age. Not being a woman (and not having any intention of becoming one in the near future), I can only imagine the psychological impact of having a wonderful, God-given gift such as beauty slowly stolen away from me year by year. When it is a woman's trump card, it must be a terrible loss.

I'd have to agree with everything you said.
She was certainly pretty special with that big eyed and forehead look of an innocent young girl but the fantastically sexy body of a wholesome woman.
A great combination and one that I agree puts her in the league of Valerie Leon. I just wished she'd gotten some more work. The few scenes of her in Vampire Lovers and Up Pompeii where just not enough.
