WOMEN IN FILM: 77 Actresses Morph in Under 3 Minutes

June 19th, 2008 by Scott Marks

This fascinating exercise in the never changing face of beauty was put together by Mako100 and from what I can gather first appeared on glumbert.

Of course there are many oversights in this glamour rundown, most notably Jean Arthur, Mae West and Claudette Colbert. It’s also interesting to note how the caliber of acting has greatly diminished after Jacqueline Bisset, but considering that this ends with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Halle Berry, it’s clear that Mako100 was concentrating more on physical allure than talent.

It’s almost certain that this video was put together as a paean to pulchritude, but after watching it one is left with a sense of sameness. Take 77 faces, flatten them out and suddenly the belles become monotonous. Not a bad comment on Hollywood style, but I have my doubts that Mako100 was aiming for such a lofty target.

Here is a list of the actresses included:

Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Gloria Swanson, Marlene Dietrich, Norma Shearer, Mary Boland, Jean Harlow, Katharine Hepburn, Carole Lombard, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Barbara Stanwyck, Vivian Leigh, Greer Garson, Hedy Lamar, Rita Hayworth, Gene Tierney, Olivia deHavilland, Ingrid Bergman, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Loretta Young, Deborah Kerr, Judy Garland, Anne Baxter, Lauren Bacall, Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy Dandridge, Shirley MacLaine, Janet Leigh, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Ann Margret, Julie Andrews, Raquel Welch, Tuesday Weld, Jane Fonda, Julie Christie, Faye Dunaway, Catherine Deneuve, Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sigourney Weaver, Kathleen Turner, Holly Hunter, Jodie Foster, Angela Bassett, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, Salma Hayek, Sandra Bullock, Julianne Moore, Diane Lane, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon and Halle Berry.
