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.)
