Is Freida Pinto Asia's Most Beautiful Women?

The Asia-Pacific may be home to 60 percent of the global population, but it only boasts 6 percent of the most beautiful female celebrities, according to the Los Angeles Times.

At least that's one conclusion to draw from the LA Times' list of the world's 50 most beautiful female celebrities, which featured two Asia-Pacific nationals.

One such women making the list was Indian actress Freida Pinto, perhaps best known for starring in the Academy Award winning film Slumdog Millionaire. More recently Pinto Starred in Blockbusters like Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Immortals

A former model in Mumbai where she grew up, Pinto has also made People Magazine's "Most Beautiful People List" and the same publication's "List of World's Best Dressed Women."

Rounding out Asia's contribution to the list is Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, much to the delight of China's state media who covered her appearance on the list in nearly every mainstream publication.

At least two American actresses of Asian descent also made the list: Maggie Q, whose mother was born in the Philippines, and Lucy Liu, a first generation American of Taiwanese and Chinese descent.

Overall the LA Times' list was dominated by women from the Western Hemisphere, particularly North America and especially the United States.

May be, before dinosaurs exist.
