Top 10 women beautiful

We are constantly bombarded with ugly people lists (even I am a perpetrator of writing these types of lists) so I decided to do the reverse – a list of women generally considered unusual or ugly, but who can be very beautiful. Most of the beautiful celebrities only look beautiful because of their makeup anyway – why not give these ladies the same treatment? So, here is my list of 10 not-normally-considered-beautiful beautiful women. In no particular order.
1. Courtney Love
Courtenaylove
Courtney Love often ranks at the top of ugly celebrity lists. She was married to Kurt Cobain (of Nirvana fame) until he killed himself in 1994. She formed her own band called Hole.
2. Juliette Lewis

Juliette Lewis is recognized as one of Hollywood’s most talented and versatile actors of her generation. She first stunned mass audiences and critics alike with her Oscar-nominated performance as ‘Danielle Bowden’ in Cape Fear (1991). To date, she has worked with some of the most revered directors in the industry: Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Lasse Hallström, Oliver Stone, and Garry Marshall. Most recently, she received an Emmy nomination for her performance in My Louisiana Sky (2001) (TV). Whether lending dramatic authenticity or a natural comedic flair, Lewis graces her roles with remarkable range and an original and captivating style.
3. Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman 002
A breakthrough role for the tall, blonde actress came when she played Cecile de Volanges in Dangerous Liaisons (1988). More attention came with the NC-17 rated Henry & June (1990), but it was Thurman’s role in the Quentin Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction (1994) that earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Donning a short black wig to play femme fatale Mia Wallace opposite John Travolta’s hitman Vincent Vega, Thurman earned a place in film history. She is, of course, recently famous for her role in the Kill Bill films.
4. Fairuza Balk

Fairuza Balk began her career as a child on the ABC special The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (1983) (TV) and the Disney movie Return to Oz (1985).

She won a CableAce award as Best Actress for her role in the TV movie Shame (1987) and won the Independent Spirit Award for Best actress for Gas, Food Lodging (1992). She also starred in The Waterboy (1998) and American History X, for which is probably most famous.

Sure it's a longshot, but it could happen.

The exquisite taste of France but with the convenient location of Canada, Montreal is truly one of the world's best cities filled with beautiful women.
