The Stars of the Golden Age vs the Stars of Today - Female

Pretty fair comparisons, but bring me the classic stars any day.
I didn't make this up. It's from comcast.net - Entertainment.

Marlene Dietrich and Nicole Kidman: Mothers of Reinvention

Their foreheads alone beg the question of whether Marlene Dietrich and Nicole Kidman were separated at birth. Both overseas imports to America, these women figured out how to play up their ethereal qualities and melodramatic prowess to completely intoxicate audiences.

Lauren Bacall and Kristen Stewart: Mysterious Ladies

The grand dame of noir film, Lauren Bacall wrapped Bogie around her finger and made men pant with desire. She never gave away too much and continues to speak her mind. While Kristen Stewart might be more awkward in her youth, she also knows how to bring men to their knees and isn't afraid to be candid when needed.

Ava Gardner and Angelina Jolie: Lady Killers

Ava Gardner was a true Hollywood stunner. Dark and mysterious, she enraptured many a man (including Sinatra) even if she didn't always choose the right one to marry. Today Angelina Jolie is another raven-haired beauty who's been equally unlucky in love with two failed marriages. (Photos by Jack Albin/Hulton Archive/Getty Images; Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Audrey Hepburn and Anne Hathaway: Classic Beauties

Despite being a slim willow of a woman, Audrey Hepburn commanded any stage she graced. Gorgeous, classy and a style icon, Ms. Hepburn's look still endures. Today Anne Hathaway embodies Audrey's sparkle, versatile talents and red carpet glamor. (Photos by Hulton Archive/Getty Images; Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)

Sophia Loren and Penelope Cruz: Sharp Wits

The icon for international beauty, Sophia Loren had the curves and knew how to use them. From dramas to romantic comedies, there was nothing Sophia couldn't make look easy. Penelope Cruz is doing the same now, with her fiery performances and her criminally gorgeous cheekbones. (Photos by Express/Express/Getty Images; Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images)

Doris Day and Meg Ryan: Girls Next Door

Doris Day was Hollywood's first girl-next-door, romantic comedy icon. Ever perky, always funny and charming, Day gave good flirt. Meg Ryan followed Day's model and contemporized the classic model to reflect the challenges of women of today. (Photos by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

Grace Kelly and Olivia Wilde: Hollywood Royalty

Philly gal Grace Kelly went to Monaco and fell in love with a boy. He made her his princess and Hollywood lost her forever. Today Olivia Wilde also knows a thing or two about royalty, being married to an Italian prince -- seriously -- and shows she knows a thing about glamor too.

    Who the heck is Olivia Wilde? Whoever she is, she doesn't hold a candle to the unmatchable Grace Kelly.

    I'd like to say thank you, but I didn't make these. Another website did, so I'll HAVE to give the credit to them. :-)

    i much prefer the classic actresses over today's. today's stars seem to be really arrogant, self absorbed and think they live on a higher plain than the rest of us. I absolutely love the classic films. you really didn't have to worry much over the profanity, sex and violence that so engulfs most of today's films. they had morals back then, even for hollywood. i know hollywood is a cesspool but it was much less of one back then.
    my favorite actresses are:
    Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds, Jane Powell, Shirley Jones, Katherine Hepburn, Angela Lansbury and Margaret O'Brien, and Olivia DeHavilland and let's not forget Vivien Leigh and Lucille Ball :)

    I think I addressed this before (or something similar). The stars of the past did not desire to always be in the limelight. Acting was their job. Now celebrities call the paparazzi to tell them where they are going "clubbing".

    I thought Meg Ryan was precious until she started botoxing the hell out of her face. She kinda looks like a circus freak now. = (
