:D

I was going to do a similar thread...
 

...On Ageless Black Beauties.


Here's my list. (in no particular order)

Madge Sinclair (RIP)(Nurse on Trapper John MD, Eddie Murphy's mom in Coming to America)
Angela Bassett
Debbie Morgan
Bern'adette Stanis
Halle Berry
Iman
Beverly Johnson
Roshumba
Nancy Wilson
Whitney Houston (the clean version)
Gladys Knight
Diahann Caroll
Dorothy Dandridge (RIP)
Lena Horne
Suzanne Douglas (Mom on the Parent'hood)
Alfre Woodard


...to be continued

Her face?
 

Are you all sure Halle has had any alterations?

It is hard to say who has or who hasn't had any alterations. We really do not know who has or has not gone under the knife.

I agree with most of who were mentioned above, but I would also add:

Lynn Whitfield
Susan Fales-Hill
Josephine Premice (RIP)
Faye Wattleton
Karen Alexander (model)
Chrystele Saint-Louis Augustin (model)
Chenoa Maxwell

Lena Horne
Diahann Caroll
Halle Berry
CeCe Winans (the most beautiful teeth ever and her personality is wonderful)
Jada Pinkett

Steeltrap you couldn't be more right; Susan Fales-Hill I remember her and her mother. Susan epitomizes grace, elegance, and style. She is featured alot in Town & Country magazine. Do you have any idea what she is doing now (I know alot of Jasmine Guy's "Whitley Gilbert" role was patterned after Susan.

I've also seen a lot of Mrs. Fales-Hill in Town and Country. I saw on a Web site where she was a producer of "Linc's," the now-defunct Showtime series starring Steven Williams and Pam Grier.

She's also been active in N.Y. society, as illustrated by this:

susan fales-hill
 

thanks I will checkout the sight!:D :D

Now check it out, noone mentioned ANY woman ( including myself:mad: ) over 180 lbs....like Phyllis Hyman, Aretha Franklin, or even Queen Latifah. Does this mean that our image of beauty is biased?

Halle Berry
 

Hey Guys,

I love Halle just as much as the next person, but she HAS been cosmetically altered. Her crime: rhinoplasty

Sorry!:( :( :(

Even though she's had cosmetic surgery, I still think she's beautiful:

1) Halle Berry
2)Jada Pinkett
3) Nia Long
4) Sanaa Lathan
5)Angela Bassett
6)Vanessa Bell Callaway
7) Jill Scott
8) MARY MARY
9) The girl in the Half Crazy video (MUSIQ)...I think she's absolutely gorgeous!
10) My Mother

ME!

Ananda Lewis

Toni Braxton

Whitney

Mariah

Nia Long

Halle Berry

Iman

Now this is something I can participate in.

In no particular order:

Nia Long
Sanaa Lathan
Gabrielle Union
Kelis
Beyonce (Yeah I said it. WHAT)
Lisa Nicole Carson (She just oozes sex appeal)
Stacey Dash
Claudette Ortiz (from group City High) <---not black but still DOPE.

TLC - all of them are beautiful

Beyonce- That girl is bad!

Aaliyah(RIP)

Vivica Fox

Vanessa L. Williams

Jennifer Lopez- Not black but she is in the minority.

I suspect that J-Lo.'s got a bit of African in her. Remember, Puerto Rico also had a history with Africans, as did many Caribbean areas.
;)

Re: Beautiful Black Women
 

Both Halle Berry and Kenya Moore have been cosmetically altered... Halle both in the face and bosom (sp.) and definitely Kenya in the bosom...

Most women in the "industry" face that fact. And all ethnic groups participate... It is suspected that Lena Horne has had some touch up. But it doesn't neglect the fact that all my sistahs of Afrikan descent are beautiful inside and out!!! :)

On that note, the ladies that I consider most amazingly beautiful!

MY MIMMY!!! :D :) :rolleyes: OF COURSE!!!

I also consider my Grandmother awesome, too.

But my great grandmother who is gone now was extremely beautiful, where if she were alive today, she would blast Halle Berry AND Lena Horne waaaayyyyy out... But that was a different day and time, unfortunately...

Re: Her face?
 

See, that's why I had a problem with this thread, we do not know if anyone has had any alterations or not (well some, you can take a look at, get magazines of before and after, etc.). Therefore, expressing who is (in everyone's opinion) a beautiful black woman is more appropriate, than a BBW who has not had cosmetic surgery.

That's just like asking who is your favorite non-gay/non-lesbian celebrity? wth?

So, some of the opinions expressed are not valid, rather the original question is not (the original question asked for those who had not had cosmetic surgery), because many on these lists have had cosmetic surgery.

I guess I'm studying too much analytical and deductive reasoning. :confused: I'm not trying to rain on the thread, just raising my moderator pink and green flags.

It was totally meant as a pun on Janet Jackson however I didn't realize that Halle or Kenya had surgery...who knew
So let's rephrase the question ....who are the 5 most beautiful women black or white ,asian or mongoloid?

Gabrielle Union
Jill Scott
Vaness Williams
Halle Berry
Nia Long
Jada Pinkett

*My Great-grandmother Mary (I was AMAZED at how beautiful she was when I saw a picture of her in her 20's)
*Lela Rochon-Fuqua

Sorry to those who are Halley Berry Fans, but remember when she had that hit and run accident a couple of years ago..... well Ms. Halley Berry had plastic surgery to fix her face from the wreck. But I will agree that she is very beautiful.:eek:

Honestly, as far as I am concerned she is black. Speaking another language and having a Latin last name doesn't make you less black to me. A few people didn't get to read the article about that but I suspect many of you have.

Yes I love Halle and yes she had a nose job. She admits it. She also has fruit acid peels, something we like to call "skin lightening". It is good for scars.

Yes, the thread is a little off because 1, people keep listing sisters with cosmetic alterations but also because they are listing like 15 women. No biggie though, some people don't know.

In no particular order

1. Leila Arcieri
2. Stacey Dash
3. Thandie Newton
4. Trina McGee-Davis
5. Aaliyah

Honorable mention: Aisha Tyler
:D

1. Gabrielle Union
2. Nia Long
3. Lisa Raye
**I don' t know of anyone else who is BEAUTIFUL w/o assistance!

1.Sheryl Lee Ralph
2.Lola Falona(sp?)
3. Phylicia Rashad
4. Debbie Allen
5. Dorothy Dandridge

These women, to me, are classic beauties.....

If I may add my list...

Condelezza Rice(sp?)
Iman
Sanaa Lathan
Veronica Webb
Vanessa Williams
Holly Robinson-Peete ( I used to want to be an undercover cop because of her-you all remember 21 Jump Street!):)
Gabrielle Union
Dianne Carroll
Jasmine Guy
Nia Long

:cool:

TTT
 

I brought this back because I just got Susan Fales-Hill's book and am really enjoying the read. Here's a picture of this 40-year-old new mother. I doubt that I would ever look like that if I had a baby at that age. :p

I love me some Phylicia Rashad. Ahmad is a very very smart man.

You do realize they are no longer married, right? :confused:
Or, do you mean he's smart to have divorced her so that she is available for you? :D
