Was she really 'perfect'?

Now, I'm no feminist, but I'm getting sick to death of this almost fetishisation of women - the dissecting of their appearance all the time. Do we do the same thing with male celebrities? Not as much, if at all, I think - and there are plenty of beautiful male stars, both old Hollywood and current.
Anyway, everyone knows there is no such thing as the 'perfect' face; have you seen those computer-generated 'scientifically perfect' faces? Booooring, so therefore not perfect. -

From head to toe, she was the most perfectly beautiful woman in the world. EVER. No one comes close, even now. In later years, she aged beautifully; no need for plastic surgery on her! Just a breathtaking woman.

Lots of people say she aged badly, but even in that TV soap opera thing she did (no idea what it was called, just saw a clip in her Bio documentary) I thought she looked gorgeous, if maybe not as show-stopping as in her younger days- but who is?

FAR from perfect and in many ways. The only women whose faces I've heard referred to as perfect (and they look quite similar) are Michelle Pfeiffer and Catherine Deneuve.
And both are far more talented than Ava Gardner. And far more beautiful. -

Sorry, nobody is "perfect." If you think somebody is perfect, it's only your opinion. Ava was a great, great beauty. She was not "perfect." Neither was Liz, Lana, Rita, Marilyn, etc.fabulous women all, none of them "perfect."
And you are correct"perfect beauty" (whatever that is!) tends to be boring. Give me a few flaws, anytime. -

I don't think she she was perfect (although her skin and cheekbones were). I personally hate her cleft in her chin but she just glowed on screen and her smile was just so radiant and that's why she is easily the most beautiful actress in motion I've seen.
I believe even Liz Taylor said when asked if she considered herself beautiful, " im not beautiful, Ava gardner is beautiful"!
It's a shame she was such a heavy smoker, she might still be with us today if she wasn't.
