Men’s Health recently published their list of the 100 Most Beautiful Women of All Time, and I have to say I agreed with most of their choices (definitely don’t agree with their #1 choice), although their order left a great deal to be desired. Beauty, as with most things in this world, is subjective. So, with all due respect to Men’s Health, here are the 10 most beautiful women celebrities in my mind. These are women who I love to see on the screen, get lost in their smiles and enjoy how stunning they can be.
| 10 | Audrey Hepburn – I’ll admit, I fell in love with Audrey when she was older. I saw “Always” and she was so elegant, so majestic, and with a smile that melted my heart. When I started to watch her older movies, I realized she was just one of the most beautiful women I’d ever seen. She’s got that strong innocence that gets me every time. If all women age as well as she did, women will forever be beautiful. | 
|
| 9 | Zhang Ziyi – She’s got that look in her eyes … that amazing combination of strength and compassion, of power and emotion, of fire and passion. Every movie I’ve seen with her in it, I marvel at her body, her movement and her face. |  |
| 8 | Halle Berry – Smoking hot body with a toughness in every role. As she emerged from the water in “Die Another Day” my heart skipped a few beats. Her sex scene in “Monster’s Ball” in beyond intense. And she makes a snoozer like “Swordfish” worth watching every time. |  |
| 7 | Marilyn Monroe – Not a big fan of her acting, she’s got a face and a body that you just can’t stop looking at. She’ll forever be immortalized as the True Beauty, the 20th-century Helen of Troy. I can only imagine that seeing pin-ups of Marilyn back then was like Cindy Crawford and Catherine Bach for me. |  |
| 6 | Christina Hendricks – When I saw her in “Firefly” I had to pause the DVD and get a closer look. I never saw a bust look so good. Since she’s become famous, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing her magnificent body, face and red hair all over the place. Thank you god for a beauty like that! |  |
| 5 | Tiffani Amber Thiessen – Sure, I got angry when the cartoons ended Saturday mornings … until Kelly Kapowski showed up. No one I can recall could make Guess jeans look so good. I wanted to comfort her when Zack dumped her. I wanted to watch her move across the screen. She’s still hot as an adult, but she was definitely my teenage TV crush. |  |
| 4 | Drew Barrymore – I confess, I’ve had a little itch for Drew for most of my life. Ever since her wild teenage years coincided with mine, her quirky little smile always got me to watch the movie, no matter how bad it was (and there were some bad ones). I will always love “50 First Dates” Drew who had the giggle and smile I love so much. |  |
| 3 | Mary Louise-Parker – Her smile alone would command complete and total obedience from me. Her face is indescribably beautiful to me. I’ve dated girls because they smiled like her. In every role she’s ever played, I get lost in her eyes and her smile. I’ll watch anything she’s been in, any time. Big fan of her “West Wing” work where her character prepared me for the wonderful woman I married later. |  |
| 2 | Alyson Hannigan – Some would wonder why, but for me it’s no question. Red hair, smoking body, quirky sense of humor, dirty mind … what more could you want? |  |
| 1 | Michelle Pfeiffer – Aside from “Grease 2” there hasn’t been a movie of hers that I haven’t just wanted to sit and watch her on the screen. Sure, when she talks all sultry, I know she’s talking to me. But her face and hair and body are just amazing and ageless. She’s as beautiful now as she was in leather with a whip. |  |
Runners-Up – These fine ladies had one or two shots that just floor me every time I see them, so I have to add them in.
| Farrah Fawcett – Like most boys my age, this pin-up was one of my first exposure to how beautiful a woman can be. Even to this day, probably one of the best pin-ups ever. |  |
| Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia – Sure, I was more interested in the lightsabers and the spaceships and the laser guns … but you can’t deny that Princess Leia looked right through the camera at pre-pubescent Brad and said “Here’s what you and your friends will be dreaming about in a few years.” She was right. |  |
| Judi Bowker in “Clash of the Titans” – Perhaps as a precursor to my classical collegiate education, I loved this movie as a kid. I loved the monsters and the heroes. But what I remember most of all, even as a little kid, was her slowly walking out of the bath. Best butt shot in movie history, if you ask me. |  |
| Brittney Spears first album cover – Cute, adorable, innocent, happy, and free of all the chaos of her future, she just warms my heart when I see this pic … and her music and history since make me forget. |  |
| Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore – Wow, talk about a tough woman. Probably my favorite Bond girl next to Vesper Lynd, she’s got it all in “Goldfinger.” And that 1960’s bustier to boot. Hawt. |  |
| Scarlett Johansen in “Love Song for Bobby Long” – a great movie about what my life could have been like, she’s young and innocent and feisty … and half-naked. Scarlett is just one of those ladies who look hotter clothed, or in this case half-clothed. Yum. |  |
For the record … yes … Mindi did not like me making this list.
For the record … I’d trade all of these ladies in to be with Mindi in a heartbeat.
Man, am I whipped.
