Here’s Brit actress Saffron Burrows, who enlivened the otherwise-dull movie Troy with a lovely, sexy appearance:
Maybe not so beautiful in the modern sense of the word, but in a classic sense — e.g. as she appeared in Troy… lovely.

I recently saw this SOTI:
…and I was immediately reminded of a pic of some medieval town I’d seen at C.W.’s place a while back, which triggered a similar response from me:

Classic Beauty: Carole Landis (2)
We’ve looked at 40s-era actress Carole Landis before, but I think she’s worth further study:

Okay, I’d never heard of Brit actress-totty Olivia Cooke before, had never seen any of her movies and to be frank wouldn’t recognize her if I tripped over her in the street. But the now-30-year-old seems to have appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows, so mea culpa (and not for the first time) for not having acknowledged her existence before. Anyway, to add to the confusion, she seems to be either a brunette or a redhead, so there’s that:

And she hasn’t got any uglier as she’s aged, either:
Lovely.
