Who's The Next Hollywood Icon?


An UsMagazine.com comparison essay takes a fun look at old vs in new in Hollywood. Six in all, see the jump for the final four.


Natalie is the new Audrey (1961): Not only has Portman, 26, donned the dress Hepburn wore in 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's, but both are humanitarians: Portman battles global poverty (FINCA), while Hepburn fought for children's rights.

Michelle is the new Mia (1968): The soft-spoken, gamine actresses sported similar short dos: Stylist Laini Reeves chopped Williams', 27, locks in February, while Vidal Sassoon gave Farrow a $5,000 cut for her role in 1968's Rosemary's Baby.

Scarlett is the new Marilyn (mid-1950s): "Maybe it's my platinum hair, or maybe it's my body type," Johansson, 22, has said of being compared to Monroe. "I never really understood it and don't see it, but I absolutely love her."

Jessica is the new Jane (1969): Both broke into Hollywood with their girl-next-door good looks and athletic bods, modeling before they were actresses. Biel, 25, did print ads, while Fonda, now 69, graced the cover of Vogue (twice!).

Reese is the new Grace (1964): Both won Oscars as wives of substance-abusing singers: Witherspoon, 31, as Johnny Cash's flame in the 2005 biopic Walk the Line; Kelly as the spouse of a fictional singer (Bing Crosby) in 1954's The Country Girl.

Jennifer is the new Liz (1975): No man can deny the smoldering sex appeal of Lopez, 38, and Taylor, 75, in their primes. Taylor has been hitched eight times (twice to Richard Burton), while Lopez is only on hubby number three.

Oh come on, Jessica Biel ha... (Below threshold)
G:

Oh come on, Jessica Biel has nothing on Fonda at similar points in their careers. Fonda was an actually talented actress in her day, Biel hasn't done shit. And this is coming from someone who thinks Fonda is a commie traitor bitch.

I am an Audrey Hepburn fan.... (Below threshold)
Maria:

I am an Audrey Hepburn fan. Acoording to me, Hepburn is like an angel. Natalie could never be Audrey Hepburn. We all know this. Hepburn had a style, grace, charm and elegance without equal. She had a talent and a screen presence like no other. And she had a rare beauty both outside and in. If you watch Hepburn's films, you can find her elegance. Here is a DVD I found online you can have a look:
