A new poll of women has shown that it's not just Michael Douglas
who thinks that his wife Catherine Zeta Jones is the best looking
actress in town by voting her to the top spot in the "World's Most
Beautiful Star" list.
The Welsh beauty was the number one choice of 8,000 women
worldwide who voted in a new global poll.
The 38-year-old stole the crown from many legendary beauties and
has left behind the likes of 1960s actress Brigitte Bardot, who
claimed second place.
Those polled were allowed to choose celebrity beauties, alive or
dead, as they looked in their heyday. That's why Breakfast at
Tiffany's star Audrey Hepburn, who died from cancer aged 63 in
1993, made to the third spot.

Zeta Jones, the curvy mother of two, effortlessly beat younger
beauties such as long-legged Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen,
27, who was in 7th place.
She also out-classed the new generation of actresses including
Jessica Biel, 25, who was in 20th place, and Sienna Miller, 26,
(28th place).
The hottest celebrities of today could not compete with the
classical beauties of past Hollywood eras, with the late Marilyn
Monroe and Dame Elizabeth Taylor, 75.
Surprisingly, winner of most of the beauty polls, Angelina
Jolie, did not figure anywhere in the top 50. In fact, both of Brad
Pitt's ex-flames Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow also missed
out on a place.
"Catherine Zeta-Jones is an ideal winner. She oozes style and
grace and her natural beauty just shines through," Contactmusic
quoted Charlotte Newbert, of poll organisers Nephria Cosmetics, as
saying.
