oh tele - be still my beating heart! - who is the lady in the middle? She looks like "reality" "star" Jodie Marsh. Is she "acting" now as well? She has a tribute drag queen act called Jodie Harsh I believe...... maybe it is them ........ Either way I'll certainly be working my way through her back catalogue! This is why I stopped drinking heavy, I have no memory of this pic whatsover so I'm sorry.
Oh sorry didn't notice thread was two years old.
But I think it is Ms Marsh - Here she is auditioning for LITTLE WOMEN (Saoirse got the part)- I'd recognise those dimples anywhere!
She doesn't appear to have actually made any films yet - Wiki on JodieImagine what an Ozon or Todd Haynes could do for her!

and here is the drag version

I've always thought that Rose Byrne had an incredible kind of "porcelain doll" beauty about her...

Great topic. Who's the modern Debra Paget?
Diane Kruger seems of the classic type at least in appearance. Megan Fox but I am not sure she qualifies as an actress.
The only younger actress who I think is a 10 in the looks department is Ellie Bamber. But I have never seen her in a movie--but she has a classic English look that was common in the 50s, 60s, 70s but none of the Game of Thrones actresses come close to her. The Diane Rigg--Julie Andrews--Prunella Ransome-Jacqueline Bisset kind of face--you don't see them anymore.
I feel that Hollywood major tended to shy away from good-looking women though. They were promoting Barbra Streisand, Dyan Cannon, and the more nerdy types. The better looking ones were relegated to supporting roles or walk on parts (Beverly Adams or Pat Priest types). The two major Hollywood icon images of the 60s IMO were Ursula Andress and Raquel Welch-both on the eccentric side of beauty.
Compare euro actresses of the 60s like Barbara Bouchet, Veronica Carlson, Yvonne Furneaux, Edy Vessel (looks like a walking talking Barbie doll). They had much better looking women in leading parts in Euro cinema. How is that Hollywood never used Caroline Munro --then again I think she turned down offers like Marisa Mell did. Granted, some of them are more about looks than acting but since there are and have been poor actresses in big movies I don't see why that would have mattered if the goal was to fill seats.

I've always thought Shannyn Sossamon measures up to the best lookers of the classic age (Seberg, Gardner, Rampling, Cardinale, Tierney, Dunaway, Daliah Lavi, Anouk Aimee, Maria Rohm, Tuesday Weld, Katharine Ross, Eleanor Parker, would probably be my (Carroll)Baker's dozen)



on the man candy front this guy is currently doing very well -( Matthias Schoenaerts AKA "The Belgian waffle" chez Cynthia )- not conventionally good looking, the camera certainly turns him into a stunner - check out his star making bare knuckle fighter in RUST AND BONE, his Gabriel Oak in the recent FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD and his hot Nazi in lush WW2 set verboten romance SUITE FRANCAISE 
and here are a couple of him in hot Nazi mode... Michelle Williams is his tonsil hockey partner
