I saw this question posed somewhere else today and thought it'd make for an interesting thread. Who's better looking; Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn. For me, while Marilyn Monroe was no doubt beautiful, I've got Audrey Hepburn in this battle. Just... look at this girl!    Ridiculously beautiful. What say you, FAN? |

I would go with Ms. Hepburn, no question. I've never really thought Marilyn Monroe was all that attractive.

It's not even fair IMO. Marilyn isn't attractive to me, just iconic, if that makes any sense. Audrey has a timeless beauty to her.

Hepburn, whom I regard as the most beautiful actress of all time.

Have to go with Audrey but Marilyn's figure seemed to be ripped out of Greek Mythology. Both were incredibly beautiful. However... Challenger appears! Anna Karina, the face of the French New Wave:    |

Marilyn.
Now if you'd asked like who was cooler, or I'd wanna date or hang out with or whatever, then Audrey; but solely on looks? Marilyn.

Audrey because I'm a sucker for women with dark hair and dark eyes.

I love them both, but I'm going with Audrey who was just stunningly beautiful. Marilyn was more shapely and charismatic, though. This gives me a chance to repost a joke pic I made...  |

If we're adding, can I toss in Sophia Loren?

Quick question because I know nothing of Audrey Hepburn outside of her looks; what movie is my 2nd gif from? I just came across it so I have no idea what it's from.

Hepburn is more beautiful, but Marilyn is far more sexy. It all depends on your tastes.

Here are my favorite films for each:
Marilyn Monroe (starred/co-starred): Niagara, Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How To Marry a Millionaire, Monkey Business, and River of No Return.
Audrey Hepburn: Sabrina, Roman Holiday, My Fair Lady, Charade, and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Great, entertaining movie. I've once seen it described as (I think it was Ebert but I'm not sure) as the best Hitchcock film not directed by Hitchcock. |

Great, entertaining movie. I've once seen it described as (I think it was Ebert but I'm not sure) as the best Hitchcock film not directed by Hitchcock. Generally, it is similar to the typical Hitchcock action/spy thriller. There's a clear MacGuffin that drives the actions of the major players in the movie. There are people lying about their true identity/motives. The major difference to me is that the Audrey Hepburn role (innocent person gets in the center of trouble) was always a male role in Hitchcock's films. The Cary Grant role (cool, kind of mysterious person that gets involved with the lead character) is always a woman (and a blonde). I think the Marilyn Monroe film Niagara is also a bit Hitchcockian. |

Marilyn for me. I love her, she is such an underrated actress and comedienne. Also her figure was to die for.
Aside from Marilyn, I think Vivien Leigh was the most classically beautiful actress of her time. She was mesmerizing to watch onscreen. From Scarlett to Blanche DuBois, she created some of the most iconic roles of that era.

Monroe, surprised the poll is so one sided though.

It's a shame she didn't have a bigger presence in films during the 1940s. I believe she was had some health issues for part of this decade and also decided to devote herself to the theater, particularly in her husband's (Laurence Olivier) productions. Thankfully she was cast in A Streetcar Named Desire over Jessica Tandy who had originated the role on Broadway (with Brando and Kim Hunter). Leigh had played the role in the original London production. |
