People who were actually more attractive than the actors who portrayed them

Molly Bloom, whom Jessica Chastain played in Molly’s Game:



(Admittedly, I posted the hottest pic I found of her. )

 

Billie Holiday is more attractive than-Diana Ross.

 

Maybe this doesn't count, but I'm obsessed with it this past week...
look at the attractive people complaining they "are not beautiful",
covering Ed Sheeran's "Beautiful People"...OH, the schadenfreude!


(actual video following "behind the scenes" part starts at 7:12)

 

I don't know, they're both world class beauties....


id submit Elvis played by Kurt Russell.....Kurt at the time was a hunk but.....even he looks hideous compared to Elvis

 

Loretta Lynn is probably not the first "babe" you'd think of, but she's much more attractive than Sissy Spacek.

 

I respectfully disagree on that one.

 

I expect some disagreement. Granted it's a close call. I will say that's a particularly great photo of Spacek. Likewise, you have to go through a ton of photos to find one that good of Lynn.

 

That reminds me of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, minus the chin.

Val Kilmer played Elvis too in True Romance, sort of.

 

Sorry no pic to post but Estelle Parsons who portrayed Blanche Barrow in ' Bonnie and Clyde ' couldn't hold a candle to the real Blanche.
Can somebody help me with photos?

 

Jim Morrison - Val Kilmer

 

whoa she was a looker.....now bonnie on the other hand

 

Hey, thanks for that. Blanche was indeed a looker. Bonnie not so much. Now I'm talking the ' real' Bonnie not Faye Dunaway because if you're talking about lookers....

 

Nicole Baker > Rosanna Arquette? The Executioner's Song. Very close, though. Both beautiful.

 

I don't know if James Franco thought his brother Dave was a good physical match for Greg Sestero in The Disaster Artist, but if so he was wrong. Dave looks like a hobbit next to the real Greg, who should've sued for visual slander.

 

Jill Clayburgh as Carole Lombard in Gable and Lombard

Andrea McAdle as Judy Garland in Rainbow

Kristina Wayborn as Greta Garbo in The Silent Lovers

 

Blasphemy!!

 

Just about every one of these posted so far seems like a push to me. I think perhaps the people suggesting the real person is more attractive than the actor/actress who portrayed them are imbuing a bit as they obviously have some admiration for the real person. The only clear one here in my mind is Lindsey Lohan as Marilyn Monroe. And Lindsey looks pretty good in that movie, but still - no Marilyn.

 

I see what you mean.

 

Pirate Radio the only film I seen him being dwarfed by other actors.

 

Sandi Robbins is not as attractive as Elaine Benes.

 

You're joking, right?

 

Gia Carangi played by Angelina Jolie.

 

Sissy Spacek is a sweetheart. Her husband is a lucky guy.

 

I prefer Henry Hill in his 60s to Liotta but I'm sure a lot of females would disagree.



Here's a shot of him as a young man with Karen Friedman Hill, who is possibly more attractive than Bracco.

 

She is not more attractive that Lorraine Bracco. Not even close.
