Audrey Hepburn is most enduring film beauty, says Sky+ HD survey
A survey carried out among Sky+ HD customers has named Audrey Hepburn as the greatest film beauty of all time, closely followed by Angelina Jolie, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren.
The under-35 age group pushed Angelina to second in the poll, but otherwise it was the classic stars of the silver screen that won out. Other actresses making the top ten included Catherine Zeta Jones, Elizabeth Taylor and Halle Berry.
Nicola Moulton, Beauty and Health Director for Vogue, commented: "A great cinematic beauty by definition has to look amazing in motion, not just in pictures. Audrey Hepburn is clearly a timeless beauty, which explains why she is the nation's choice, though a personal favourite of mine has always been Vivien Leigh. She was not only breathtakingly beautiful but had an astonishingly expressive face. Unlike many actresses her expressions never run counter to her beauty, which seems an essential point of her being rather than just a quirk of genetics."
Men opted for qualities like 'the perfect eyes' and 'figure' when asked to name the all important ingredients of a film beauty, whereas women looked for 'a perfect bone structure', followed by 'grace' and 'poise'.
