Old Hollywood actresses ...

Who had the most romantic face in old Hollywood? A newspaper in 1951 found there was no one perfect romantic face. The perfect romantic face was a combination of parts from six actresses.

Make-up artist Perc Westmore explains:

Forehead, Jane Russell: No one pays much attention to her forehead, but she has a brow that can be described with only one word – inviting. It’s lofty and smooth… just right for leaning your cheek against.

Eyes, Jane Greer: They are eyes a man can get lost in.

Nose, Janis Carter: It’s pert and shapely. When she smiles it wrinkles delightfully.

Chin, Jane Wyman: The most lovable chin in the world… it’s the chin a man could love through thick and thin.

Lips, Jean Simmons: They are tailor made for kissing. A man could go mad watching those lips.

Neck, Shelley Winters: Alluringly caressable.
