KELLY NUMBER ONE IN GLAMOUR POLL

GRACE KELLY's 1955 Oscar gown leads a new glamour poll of stylish stars drawn up by luxury car giants Jaguar.

The company looked at hundreds of awards night outfits to find The Gorgeous 100 - men and women who define Academy Awards fashion and style.

Kelly's EDITH HEAD-designed dress gave the HIGH SOCIETY star the edge just two weeks before she wed Monaco's PRINCE RAINIER. She beat AUDREY HEPBURN's 1954 look and MARLON BRANDO's stylish tuxedo outfit also in 1955.

Brando was the only man in the top 10, but TOM CRUISE, ROBERT WAGNER, CHRISTOPHER REEVE, PAUL NEWMAN and CLARK GABLE all made it into the top 20.

In a related Jaguar list, MARILYN MONROE's skirt-raising scene in THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH beat out the finales of GONE WITH THE WIND and CASABLANCA to land at the top of an Iconic Movie Moments list.

The top 10 gorgeous Oscar heroes and heroines are:
1. GRACE KELLY (1955) 2. AUDREY HEPBURN (1956) 3. MARLON BRANDO (1955) 4. ELIZABETH TAYLOR (1960) 5. NICOLE KIDMAN (1997) 6. SOPHIA LOREN (1999) 7. HALLE BERRY (2003) 8. CHARLIZE THERON (2000) 9. DIAHANN CARROLL (1968)

10. JULIA ROBERTS (2001).

She was so beautiful, it is easy to see why men went crazy over her.

^^ I wish some of our starlets from today would start
behaving like princesses-in-waiting instead of French-whores-in-heat.
Who the hell wants to fantasize about going to bed with
the easiest women in the world?

^^^I love old Hollywood. I wish it would come back, some how.

Too bad she didn't behave as classy as she looked. She got around, slept with numerous male costars. Unlike Di, Grace was no virgin when she married a prince.

You're absolutely right. She also had an affair with some married actor prior to becoming a famous actress.

It's just an interesting bit of information. She was portrayed as the blonde ice queen but in real life, she was anything but.

yeah,everybody wanted to make a saint out of her, a thing she wasnt AT ALL.
I dont bash her for that, i bash the people and jounalist who want to portray her as a saint, virginal lady.

LynnieD · January 14th, 2006, 02:02 PM

true. looking like you have some class doesn't have anything do to with who you sleep with.
that said, i don't worship at the altar of grace kelly... she was too cold looking for me and i don't really think she was all that glamourous... she just dressed very conservatively...
audrey hepburn was loads more glamourous and had a better fashion sense.
