In your opinion, who are the top 10 most beautiful actresses in Hollywood today?

Dear Anonymous,

My list may not be what you are looking for...and some out of time... For me beauty in an actress may have more to do with the power of her (sometimes dark) feminine presence in films...

• Kathy Bates, have loved her since the dark psychological thriller DOLORES CLAIBOURNE...for me, great beauty.
• Glenn Close, just incredibly lovely (see FATAL ATTRACTION).
• Julia Roberts, for example PRETTY WOMAN, a prostitute who won't give up her dream.
• Maggie Smith; strong presence with high penetrating nasal twang which could be (endearingly) irritating...so beautiful...go Maggie!
• Emma Thompson, Meryl Streep, Geraldine Page, Agnes Moorehead...

I have not yet watched any films with Charlize Theron, but have a hunch she would end up on my list, also.

A fresh loveliness as a young woman, Agnes Moorehead for example matured into a magnificent "beauty;" deep, complex, fascinating.
