I'm not that big fan of Ava (yet). I've seen only two of her films - 'The Snows Of Kilimanjaro' and 'The Night Of Iguana', and only party unfortunately 'Mogambo', and I must admit that she was great in them, I mean she was a really amazing actress, but I couldn't say that she's that beautiful. And finally in this pic I see that she really was very pretty lady. From which movie is this photo taken? In which years did she look like this? What are the other good movies of her to watch?

Wow, I didn't know! My favorite dog died yesterday on her birthday...McGee. We are very sad. Oh, no, that's awful! My beloved doggie Kacper died on the 26th of June last year. I can't still accept it... It was like using a brother or best friend. Hope you're fine. Take care. I'm with you...

What do you mean? She wasn't artifically "made". God created Vivien Leigh, same like it was with B.B.! And a woman of course

/\/\/\ you mean TCM Europe or the US once? Maybe it's worlwide? Let me know please!

I'm dissapointed that all of you respond on posts on some ugly creatures and don't give a damn about one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Regret.

Virna Lisi (born 8 November 1936 in Jesi, Province of Ancona) is a Cannes and César award-winning Italian film actress. She was born in Jesi, Marche, as Virna Lisa Pieralisi. Early career Virna Lisi began her film career in her teens. She was discovered by two Neapolitan producers (Antonio Ferrigno and Ettore Pesce) in Paris. Her debut was in La corda d'acciaio (The line of steel, 1953). Initially, she did musical films, like in E Napoli canta (Napoli sings, 1953) and the successful Questa è la vita (1954, with the popular Totò). Nonetheless, soon Virna Lisi became a figure whose beauty was more valued than her talent, like in Le diciottenni and Lo scapolo films of 1955. Still, she incarnated demanding roles, particularly in La Donna del Giorno (1956), Eva (1962), and the Italian-made spectacle Romolo e Remo (1961). In the late 1950s, Lisi did theater at Piccolo Teatro di Milano, in I giacobini by Federico Zardi, under the direction of Giorgio Strehler. During the 1960s, Virna Lisi did comedies and, also, she participated in dramatic television productions which were of the most viewed in Italy. Also in television Lisi was the figure who promoted a toothpaste brand, with a slogan which would become a catchphrase amongst the Italians: "con quella bocca può dire ciò che vuole" (with such mouth, she can say whatever she wants).[1] [edit] Hollywood career In Hollywood, the producers were looking for a new figure of the Marilyn Monroe vibe and so Virna Lisi made a dent in Hollywood comedy as a tempting blue-eyed blonde starring opposite Jack Lemmon in How to Murder Your Wife (1965), and appearing with Tony Curtis in Not with My Wife, You Don't! (1966). Lisi starred with Frank Sinatra, in Assault on a Queen (1966). Also Lisi starred in films such as La Ragazza e il Generale, co-starring with Rod Steiger, and two films with Anthony Quinn, The Secret of Santa Vittoria, directed by Stanley Kramer, and the war drama The 25th Hour. She also gained attention for a photo of her shaving her face that appeared on the March 1965 cover of Esquire magazine. [edit] Career renaissance in Europe Indeed, to overcome her typecast just of a seductive woman, Virna Lisi sought new types of roles, of evil women or of a lover in relationships of disparate age for example. In those years, Virna Lisi participated in Italian productions, in Casanova 70 and Le bambole (1965), Arabella (1967), and Le dolci signore (1968). Also Lisi starred some films of author, of which The Birds, the Bees and the Italians (1965) is an example. In the early 1970s, Virna Lisi decided temporarily to attend to her family, husband Franco Pesci and her son Corrado, born in July 1962. Nonetheless, a career renaissance occurred soon for Virna with a large list of productions, including Al di là del bene e del male (1977), Ernesto (1979), and La cicala (1980). For the film La Reine Margot (1994), Lisi portrayed a malevolent Catherine de' Medici and so she won both the César and Cannes Film Festival awards,[2] along with the David di Donatello award, the Italian equivalent of the Oscar. Particularly since the late 1990s, Virna Lisi did many successful dramatic productions of television. In 2002, Lisi starred her last film, Il più bel giorno della mia vita. [edit] Legacy A Brazilian rock band, Virna Lisi, is named after her. The 1980s Argentinian band Sumo (led by Luca Prodan), made a song for her. The singer's brother is the actor Andrea Prodán, who appeared with her in the movie I ragazzi di via Panisperna (1988).

Thank you brianwp, Natalie is beautiful in these photos you posted!

GREAT taste - tell me that you admire Claudia Cardinale, Ursula Andress and Vivien Leigh either and I can signed to your fan club

You've got great taste - Brigitte Bardot and Natatlie Wood and Michele Mercier... Who are your other favorite beauties? Thanks for all those photos!

OMG, I love her with dark hair! She's so beautiful and hot!

And do you know where can I find more of those? /\/\/\/\/\

I found out that there is at least 5 books released about Claudia Cardinale, one of which I own. But they're all in French/Italian, so I'd have to wait for something in English. BTW, I wanted to ask, if anyone know from what films/photoshoots these books' covers come and where can I find more of those pics? http://cgi.ebay.pl/Claudia-Cardinale-fans-...id=p4634.c0.m14

Does anybody seen/have the 'Playboy' pictorials which Ursula did? I read that there are actually 3 'Playboy' photoshoots and I read that one (at least) was done by her husband (John Derek?) at the time. I can't find them anywhere! And even Raquel Welch admitted that they're lovely photos, the only (back then) erotic pictures which she liked!

Oh, no I forgot to mention Vivien Leigh in my fave beauties! She was just perfect! The most amazing green eyes ever!

Claudia Cardinale is the world's most beautiful brunette ever in my opinion. But she's in the same kind like Ursula Andress for me - perfect face and hair, but not that pretty body. I mean Ursula had great legs, but her waist quite man-like and Claudia had beautiful face either, but she was often quite fat and her legs and ass were too big, especially when you think about B.B.'s perfect body! But C.C. is the bomb anyway!

Thank you all for these amazing pics! Natalie was such a beauty!

Claudia Cardinale, Elizabeth Taylor and Natatlie Wood - my perfect trio of the world's most beautiful brunettes! And B.B. and Ursula Andress as the most beautiful blondes ever!

Oh God, how beautiful Ursula was! I think she's the second most beautiful woman of all the times, just after my beloved Brigitte Bardot! Her face was just perfect! She had great legs! I'd love to get to know her better! Is there any book about her written? Does she have child/ren or something? I'd love to get an autograph from her. I sent 3 requests already, but she never responded me! Does anybody have her mailing address?
