The most beautiful woman ever?

Indeed, Olivia Hussey is absolutely stunning. I saw her in 1354Romeo and Juliet both in high school and on television (plus in a recent special on horror movie moments), and she was and remains beautiful beyond imagination.
Ever heard that song "Brick House?" Guess what Olivia Hussey's measurements are? I rest my case.
(A caveat: I'm not sure if the information's reliable; it comes from the mini-biography on this site, which in turn says the measurements came from Celebrity Sleuth magazine) -

I think that Olivia Hussey, as she was in Romeo and Juliet, was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Truly, I do not believe that any words could do her beauty justice. I think it is just so sad that she didn't remain that beautiful for very long at all. By the time she was in her mid-twenties, although she was still a very attractive woman, I wouldn't say she was anything like as heart-rendingly exquisite as she used to be. But as Juliet, her face could have launched a thousand ships!

I couldn't agree more with your sentiments. It's true: she didn't retain her beauty for very long after Romeo and Juliet. But, in that movie, there was some kind of ethereal loveliness and purity that she radiated, transcending beautiful. Man, that gorgeous look was so ephemeral; after a short while her looks just withered away like a grape on a vine.

I completely agree with this! She was quite possibly the most stunning creature to have walked the Earth in
Romeo and Juliet
, but that was the absolute peak of her beauty. There are many beautiful girls who peak early in their teens and their looks taper off from there, and while they still remain beautiful they can never return to the breathtaking, almost impossible zenith they were once at. She's extremely fortunate that her beauty was captured at its best moment, and in one of the most iconic films ever, too, so that it would be remembered by all forever! And to think she dated the most beautiful Romeo to ever be committed to screen, Leonard Whiting sigh What a life.
In my opinion, no actress in Hollywood today could hold a candle to her classic, timeless, feminine beauty. The closest you could get are Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Penelope Cruz, and Lily Collins. Most of our movie stars don't really look like movie stars anymorewhich is fine as long as they're good actorsbut it's strange to look back on a time when actresses really did look like that. -

"The most beautiful woman ever?"
Is this a joke?
Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Connelly
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Jodie Foster
Madolyn Smith
all beat her hands down.
Not discounting this actress's looks, but let's be realistic. -

"If you don't think olivia is pretty, you must be looney".
Quote from my first posting - - "Not discounting this actress' looks(meaning Olivia), but let's be realistic."
Hussey better looking than Smithopinion is truly an entity within itself. -
