This just in: 20 gorgeous women have made it to the list of Ultimate Screen Beauties. Nearly 2,000 film fans voted for their ultimate screen beauties during a survey, commissioned by Sky+ HD, of Hollywood actresses through the ages.
At number 20 is Armageddon star Liv Tyler. Click on to see who else made it to the list.
19. Michelle Pfeiffer
The Stardust star's chiseled beauty remains intact, even at 50. The actress, who reached the milestone in 2008, said her fears of turning 50 were unfounded when she found out that life at that age was more liberating than her 40s.
18. Jennifer Aniston
The Friends star turns 40 this year. But looking at her, you wouldn't think that is possible. Aniston keeps looking hotter and hotter as the years go by. The secret behind her fab good looks? Intense yoga workouts!
17. Charlize Theron
She's a natural beauty who doesn't mind messing her face up for a good role [Remember Monster?] Plus, the 33-year-old likes to experiment with her looks -- from page boy haircuts to glamorous evening gowns, the actress never bores us.
16. Scarlett Johansson
This 24-year-old's beauty has attracted a number of famous men, including actors Jared Leto and Josh Hartnett, New York Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter and Grammy Award-winning singer Justin Timberlake, reports the Sydney Morning Herald. But the lucky chap who eventually got the girl is Ryan Reynolds. The couple married in May last year.
15. Doris Day
To this day, this vivacious blonde remains one of America's best-loved entertainers. Half-German, the actress, who now lives in a ranch in California, was a powerhouse of talent -- singing, dancing and acting with elan -- during the 1950s and 1960s.
14. Cameron Diaz
Here's another actress, who just gets sexier with age. The 36-year-old became the highest paid actress in Hollywood last year. Add timeless beauty to that and we've got a winner!
13. Nicole Kidman
This 41-year-old beauty doesn't like to rush things. Married at 40, a child at 41, and big blockbusters doesn't seem to affect her super skinny frame nor her blemish free complexion one bit.
12. Vivien Leigh
Vivien Leigh, who charmed us as the spoilt Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, also starred in another classic A Streetcar Named Desire (1951). In a career spanning 30 years, until her death from tuberculosis at the age of 53, Vivien was quite a timeless beauty.
11. Julia Roberts
There's a reason why her movie is called Pretty Woman, and that is because she is a stunner. Even motherhood hasn't dimmed the sparkle in those expressive eyes.
10. Brigitte Bardot
Once an aspiring ballet dancer, Bardot, rose to fame for her role in the controversial film And God Created Woman. Though the film is long-forgotten, the French actress and former model's tryst with controversies continue, the latest arising out of her comments on immigration, interracial relationships, Islam in France and homosexuality.
9. Halle Berry
The 42-year-old is a looker and can act too. Now, the hottie who recently became a mom, is all set to go bald for new movie, Nappily Ever After.
8. Keira Knightley
She may be very skinny but this Pirates' star luminous beauty still got out vote.
7. Elizabeth Taylor
More famous for her string of marriages, the English-born American actress, is ranked seventh among the Greatest Female Stars of All Time, by the American Film Institute.
6. Catherine Zeta Jones
Until Chicago, we never knew that this 39-beauty could sing. Fact is she blew us away with her portrayal of Velma Kelly. Small wonder that she won an Academy Award, BAFTA Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for it.
5. Sophia Loren
One of our very own sex symbol was recently compared to this Italian stunner. Now, let's see if Bipasha Basu can win an Oscar.
4. Marilyn Monroe
Everything from Marilyn's hair colour to her companions was widely followed. No wonder, she is ranked sixth among the greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.
3. Grace Kelly
She was the actress who married a prince! Living up to her name, the Academy Award-winning actress and fashion icon married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco in 1956.
2. Angelina Jolie
This 33-year-old can charm the birds from the trees, as well as the sexiest man alive to do her bidding for her.
Re: Top 20 Timeless Beauties
1. Audrey Hepburn
The number one spot goes to the star of Breakfast At Tiffany's. Justifying the choice, Nicola Moulton, beauty and health director of Vogue, said: 'A great cinematic beauty by definition has to look amazing in motion, not just in pictures.'
'Audrey Hepburn is clearly a timeless beauty explaining why she is the nation's choice, though a personal favourite of mine has always been Vivien Leigh -- she was not only breathtakingly beautiful but had an astonishingly expressive face,' reports the Telegraph.
