One man's beauty is another one's plain Jane. Lot depends on the culture you were brought up in. I see so many drop dead beautiful Mexican American women, around San Diego with these fat, out of shape want to be gang banger's, it's becoming unreal. Some brothers like a flat nose, big butt mama to get them through the day.
That Gene Tierney movie, at the start of this thread, was Sundown. See it in film class and always remembered it. Good use of black & white., in daylight, is a challenge. Used a lot of filter and soft lens back in the black & white days. Tierney was Irish-Americanand a natural beauty. Seen Jessica Biel, a few years back, at WholeFoods. (Santa Monica blvd).....pretty plains looking, including her hair..and skinny. With some guy who looked like he needed a little skin pop to get him through the day.(Joseph Calleia ((played the Italian))was in the Sundown clip...one of the best character actor of all time)
