Question: Who was the best looking woman in history (more than 100 years ago)!?
Cleopatra for me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Cleopatra's ability to charm people was said to owe more to her stunningly charismatic personality than to her physical beauty!.

Contenders for the throne, in my opinion are
1!. Empress Theodora, wife of Justinian I!. She was said to have been so beautiful that people were literally stunned at her radiance!. Not only that, she was a devoted wife to Justinian, and was his strength and resolve to carry on through the Nika Riots!.

2!. Nefertiti, the Pharoahess of Egypt from 1370 BCE to 1330 BCE!. Plenty of statues of her that attest to her beauty!.

3!. Isabella of Castile was always a looker, for me!. Plus she was the one who sponsored Christopher Columbus, so that's a plus

4!. Livia Drusilla, wife of Caesar Augustus!. Augustus knew how to pick his allies, and his women
http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Livia

Im reluctant to say Helen of Troy, since there are no really accurate portrayals of her!. Sure they say she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but that is a common claim throughout history!.

No one knows exactly what Cleopatra looked like!. There are existing busts and as far as they can be trusted she was not a real "looker"!. More than 100 years ago I would pick Lily Langtry the Vicortian age actress!.!.!.!.!.Or Winston Churchill's mother!. I can't pull her name off the top of my head!. But she was American, extremely beautiful!. I can still remember old photographs of her from "Look" and "Life" magazine articles from when he died!.!.!.!.!.!.!.You might consider Aud the Deep Minded, in the old Norse sagas for beauty, charm, and brains all three!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Cloe (Queen of the Bar Room)

She is beauty, poise and innocence!. She inspired a nation and brought no real harm to others!.
