The United States is actually a republic founded on relocation. The whole social order is based on one assumption: people move house. Presidents move out of the White House, workers go where there the work is, and children leave home for college. There are awesome mechanisms in place to facilitate these operations. - Beppe Severgnini

What I find interesting is that beyond the "pretty" faces, there are several that made me startle with their compelling quality.
Vivien Leigh: Those eyes peering from under those lashes set in an almost perfect heart-shaped face. I am remined of the opening line of Gone With The Wind about how Scarlett wasn't the prettiest girls, but when men were around her, they didn't think of that.
Ingrid Bergman: Another woman whose attractiveness was first based on her youth (16 in Casablanca!) and later on a more indefinable source. One of my few favorite blonds.
Lauren Bacall: Yes, I can whistle.
Sophia Loren: Is this woman even human? Is she a sucubus sent to bedevil my dreams? Sophia at 60 had more sex appeal wattage than almost any other woman in her 20s.
Julianne Moore: My favorite redhead. (With apologies to Bob Hope.)
Finally:
Angelina Jolie: She has much of the exotic look of Sophia Loren, but oddly, comes across more as an "actor" than a "star." This is probably to her credit.
