And while I personally don't think she is as good-looking as people say, there is something about her and many actresses of her generation that is lacking from the current generation of actresses. I can't pinpoint it. They had a sort of grace and elegance that seemed so natural, but that's missing from the current generation.

Objectively speaking, she wasn't super striking. Her nose was a little too big and as you mentioned, on the whole she had big features. Honestly, I think she's alright looking as well. But I think we also have to keep in mind, especially when comparing her to recent actors, there was no such thing as photoshop in those days. What we saw, was the real her. Unlike our current times where all we see is photoshopped people in magazines and whatnot.

I also think the reason people think so highly of her beauty is probably of her cultural impact and her grace. Like others mentioned, she was huge during her time and a trendsetter in bwood. And it helps that she was so graceful and a pretty good actor to boot. And her young death gives her a tragic element (not to mention that beneath all the glamour she did have a sad life). Mix all those elements together and you have a "timeless beauty."

a relatively good reputation and sob story does wonders in changing our perceptions.

she has a very muslim girl look who will look only

good in ethnic wear...i just cant see her carrying

off western.

for me aishwarya rai and katrina kaif are head above

shoulders more beautiful.

for that matter hema malini in her hey days too.
