...have never considered myself a beauty," Elizabeth Taylor told a Ladies' Home Journal interviewer, who seemed understandably dubious. Well, then, who is beautiful? "Ava Gardner, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Raquel Welch." Also Madame Jovanka Tito, the wife of Yugoslavia's President.
