I don’t know about your date range.

Not a lot of actresses (any?) from the 1910-1940 range that appeal to me. The Silent Era actresses just looked silly, and when they transitioned to Talkys you found out just how awful their voices sounded.

If you’re going all the way to 1960, then I choose 1950s Sofia Loren.

Many of them made the transition just fine but that was a wave of cancel culture and producers used "they couldn't talk on film" as an excuse to fire them.

The flappers were made popular by progressives, the image was to make a women look like a boy.

85% of what I watch is pre-1970.

The other 15% is pre-2000.

My wife always gives me a hard time about that.

I also like seeing the way the cities were back in the 40's and 50's.  It's like an historical record.

More often than not, these identity-shifting transitions were subtle, but other times less so. Hollywood was an early adopter of state-of-the-art plastic surgery and dental work, and as early as the 1920s, noses were being bobbed and faces lifted.

Sure, good genes were there as a baseline, just like in today's Hollywood, but they were anything but *natural*.  

I mean, this is a random sample of a high school yearbook from the 40s and a representation of what the average population looked like:

The "It" girl. Wings was her biggest hit. Her voice wasn't suited to talkies though and she retired in 1933.



My favorite tough Brooklyn broad, Susan Hayward. Died too young at 57 of cancer after filming The Conqueror downwind of a nuclear test site. John Wayne and several other cast and crew also got cancer after making that film.

thats very interesting. I knew that major advanced in plastic surgery occurred after WW1, but I was under the impression it didn't become mainstream until the late 50's-70's

but..

these women were far from average.
they were on another level.

It's almost impossible for a woman to make it in Hollywood and NOT be a hottie. Attractive women have always been a thing there.

As far as doing more with their hotness I'd say the mid 80s to early 90s were the most free with nudity, so that's probably the best era for me.

Audrey Hepburn has the added benefit of being a legitimate war hero, fought in the Dutch resistance. Hedy Lamar as well for her contributions to radar. And yeah, this was when women knew how to be beautiful without being a ho about it.
