She is not from my childhood and a good thing becaue I would have sharpened my pencil to the nub...but Mila Kunis is the most beautiful woman in the world (Edit, my opinion since they are all different and we all see it differently, blonds are beautiful and the two redheads I dated in college where smoking hot)
And no chit, you can easily find those WTF photos on the net and a bajillion "looks" being in her profession but I don't know that she will ever be in second place.
A few great photos, and then there are the whiskey commercials.
I went to High School with Adrienne. Funny thing, that's her real name. We were in the choir together where I stood right behind her on the risers during practice and performances. (Nice view!)
I was also in two plays with her in High School as well; The Boyfriend (she stared and I was one of the 'strollers') and Teahouse of the August Moon (she stared and I was the moon [I ran the spotlight at the back so I didn't have to wear that horrible makeup but still got to go to all the cast parties]). My sister was buds with her and she came by the house a few times. Her mother really pushed her to be a star and sometimes I wondered if she enjoyed it.
20 some years later, I sat next to her on a flight. At first she didn't recognize me but then the light went on and she and I had a blast catching up. I know she looked a bit hard, but she really was a nice kid at heart. She told me that Hollywood was a mean place and she never felt she fit in there. (We didn't mention the porno flick she'd done in the intervening years.)
I couldn't vote for Brooke Shields as I also sat next to her on a plane ride from Washington DC to Southern California right after she was admitted to Princeton University. By the time we'd landed I had concluded that she was definitely the stupidest human being on the planet! And if that weren't bad enough, up close, she was really skinny, had a unibrow, and isn't nearly as pretty as you'd think.
My vote for Hottest from my childhood has to be Bridget Bardot followed closely by Jane Russel. However, there are a bevy of beautiful women shown here from all sorts of different years and childhood dreams.
If you search for images of these old gals or look on Pinterest, you'll be amazed at the great pics you find. Some of the hairstyles and makeup looks a bit odd, but pretty is pretty regardless.
