As Emmeline in The Blue Lagoon, I present the candidature of Brooke Shields as one of the five most beautiful women in movie history.

Brooke Shields was simply stunning, and I still think she has turned into a beautiful woman.

Just looking at her throughout the movie you can see. But some moments are such as when they are singing Carols, or staring at the sunset... just gorgeous.

Loved watching her in Suddenly Susan, and it was a great surprise and a real treat to see her in Furry Vengeance.

Drop dead gorgeous in this one and endless love. You cant take your eyes off her.

Her beauty unsurpassed, and the film itself underrated.

She had a very pretty almost flawless face.But she was around 15 when this was made and she looked more like a girl than a woman.I would have preferred a more well endowed actress like Linda Balir(who I believe was considered for Shields part)in the role.

reply

Daryl Hannah was also considered.

The characters were that age. They were played by actors that age. I find it a great improvement over, say, Grease, where it's obvious that the "high school kids" are pushing thirty.

She looked like Denise Richards as a kid.

reply

Without question. Even at such a young age she was beyond beautiful. There are so many scenes in the film where she is just looking at Richard and has no dialogue and all you can think of is how can anybody look like that. :)

I'm sure Brooke is probably the easiest actress Nestor ever had to film. All he had to do was make sure she was in focus and the rest took care of itself.

She is up there with the likes of Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, young Elizabeth Taylor & Natalie Wood as some of the most beatiful woman ever to appear on screen.

reply

Even at such a young age? Beautiful people tend to be young.

reply

Ha! That's true:)

reply

shields did look great in the movie but remember she was just a kid of 14 here! For me, the best looking woman in the history of movie history would be Kathleen turner in 1981s bodyheat.

reply

Yep, I have said it many times - when she was around that age, she was among the most beautiful people to walk the earth. Her facial features are just perfection.
