The Most Beautiful Women Of All Time

The most beautiful woman in the world will always up for debate, so we brought together some of the best candidates for you to decide!

Barbara Eden is best known for starring in the popular '60s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, but many don't know that originally the show's creators wanted a brunette. This was because they wanted a departure from Bewitched, also a fantasy sitcom with a blonde lead. Barbara Eden was so funny, beautiful, and fit the role so perfectly that the show's creators overlooked this minor detail. And it's good that they did! Barbara has been a TV star ever since.

Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman solidified her place in history by starring alongside Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, but she was acting in Swedish and German movies since the mid-1930s. Her broad international appeal was such that one biographer described her as "arguably the most international star in the history of entertainment." One of her directors, Anatole Litvak, noted that "through all her troubles she held to the conviction that she had been true to herself and it made her quite a person." She died in 1982 of breast cancer.

French actress Sophie Marceau became known as a teenager after she starred in the film La Boum in 1980. For the next 15, she starred in many European films before becoming a star in Hollywood for her role in Braveheart. After this, she played in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough. While she often makes it to the top of "most beautiful" lists, Marceau says she doesn't really understand why people find her attractive. According to her, "I've never really been beautiful. I'm photogenic..." And modest!

Sadly, Sharon Tate's life will always be overshadowed by her disturbing, tragic, and senseless murder at the hands of the Manson Family in 1969. Tate was praised for her beauty since she was young, eventually starting to act in movies. She was hailed as a promising newcomer, having enjoyed positive review for both comedic and dramatic acting roles. She married her director and co-star from The Fearless Vampire Killers, Roman Polanski, in 1968. She was eight months pregnant with their child when she was murdered in cold blood.
