I like how the girls look.. simple, elegant, with beautiful eye brows and no bright make up. And all of them look different and unique.. and what's now? The same faces, same hairstyles and make up everywhere

A few of these weren't their best current photos. Seeing interviews or current movies really show how many of the women are still breathtaking with warm smiles. I may be mostly taking about Julie Andrews. I adore her! Carol Burnett should be on this list. Saw her at the Ryman a couple years ago. She was still witty with a touch of sass. Her memory is impeccable. Maybe some didn't consider her a beauty icon, but I thought she's always been a uniquely beautiful, hilarious woman.

I also adore how many of the older beauty icons have embraced their wrinkles. They make me want to listen to stories about making movies and everything they've seen in the world.
