Who do you think is prettier Sharon or Barbara?


It's a superficial question, but I think Barbara Parkins was absurdly gorgeous.

What was wrong with adding Patty Duke to the mix? Are you saying she's ugly, Marybeth?

Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...

Sharon. But Barbara was beautiful too.

Actors are mere products of a good writer's imagination

Sharon by a million miles. To me,Sharon was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
I'm always so torn up when seeing her, knowing what happened to her. So stunning, sweet and beautiful, all taken away by a bunch of dirtbags

There are different types of beauty. As another poster noted, Barbara Parkins' looks are more conservative. And her dark hair and eyes makes her a bit more exotic. But she has a very refined quality, in the way she speaks, etc. She's still lovely today.

Sharon Tate and her beauty are in a totally different league. There is a more ethereal quality, and she had both the looks of an All-American girl with exquisite face and body. To this day she is still thought to be one of the most beautiful women who ever lived, and I can't argue with that. Even before her death, that was said.

Patty Duke is not unattractive but she falls into the "cute, girl next door" category for me.

Could NOT agree more, well said

I think both were beautiful in their own special way but Barbara was able to age past 30 and Sharon was not. It would have been interesting to see if her beauty transcended as she aged had Sharon been given that chance in life.

Barbara was very sexy and beautiful, but I feel that Sharon Tate was mesmerizing.

reply

Barbara. But then again, I like Brunettes.

When will you ever learn, this feeling is all you can discern?

reply

Sharon. She's magnificent.

Barbara had that icy cold regal patrician princess thing, but she seems more like a thing with no feelings than a warm human.
