Who would you name the most beautiful woman of all time, and why?

Most of these have brown hair. I would add Helen Mirren to this list. She is and always has been very beautiful for her age.
I would have added Diana Rigg. A fine actress and a beautiful woman. I think a lot of these choices reflect the fact that most people have forgotten the beautiful women of the 30s and 40s. Carol Lombard and Katherine Hepburn both belong on the list.
Oh ordinary people only in USA I guess.... because you clearly haven't seen Aishwarya Rai
What about Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Priyanka Chopra, Jennifer Lopez, Betty Page, and so many more to mention that are just really beautiful women that could all fight strongly for those top 40 spots.
