Is Angelina Jolie an 'Iconic Beauty'?

MSN.com put out a list of "the most iconic beauties of all time." Their list (in bloated slideshow format, of course) includes nearly 40 women who have, in their words, achieved "icon status." Among the standards you'd expect (Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe) are a few eyebrow-raising modern choices that include Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, and Brooke Shields. Among the more debatable choices for being labeled an "iconic beauty" is none other than Angelina Jolie.

I get the whole "look at those giant lips" thing, but would you consider Angelina Jolie to be an iconic beauty? Maybe ten years ago, but lately she's looking more emaciated and haggard (maybe it's the army of kids she's collecting from all over the world). I've always considered Ms. Jolie to be overrated in both the looks and acting categories. To me, she looks like a caricature drawing you'd get at a carnival, and in the vast majority of her movies she's essentially playing herself. "Are you going to see the new Angelina Jolie movie where she plays a headstrong, sexy woman who knows how to wield a gun and break guys' necks?"

It's like a skeleton with that wax lips candy

However, those lips are always the first thing you think of when you picture Ms. Jolie, so I suppose that could be considered "iconic"...still, I don't know if I'd lump her into "iconic" status alongside Rita Hayworth and Grace Kelly. (To be fair, I probably wouldn't put Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, or Brooke Shields on that list, either.)

What do you think, did they get the list right or should Angelina Jolie get booted?

Debate It! 8

In her youth, she was EXTREMELY beautiful.... but nowadays, she looks like a hag. I actually feel rather bad for her, I don't think she's going to age very gracefully.

Whoa, Ms. Jolie got creamed in that ToT vs. Scarlett Johannsen.

Posted By Rebecca,

Angelina Jolie is gorgeous, plus she's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better actress than Scarlett whatever.

Posted By JaxValentine,

I actually prefer Scarlett. She's curvier, sexier, and younger.

Debating whether Angelina is an iconic beauty based on her appearance today due to her age doesn't make sense. Would you debate Audrey Hepburn's or Marilyn Monroe's iconic beauty status based on how they looked at 35? No, you'd use an image of them from the pinnacle of their beauty which was probably in their 20's.

Audey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe looked great at 35, lol. Marylin died looking radiant at 36, and Audrey Hepburn was doing My Fair Lady at 35 and looked amazingly great.

I think being 36 doesn't mean you are old.What about those who are more than 60??It's ridiculous to say about Angelina that she is already old at only 36.But you are right about her looks nowadays.She is no way a model for other women with that too skinny unhealthy body.
