eyes blue like the atlantic ima upvote for this cuz i love it

They should have given her back her natural hair color. The studio made her get her hairline raised and lighten her hair. Rita also used her mother's maiden name because her birth name of Cansino sounded too Spanish.

yes i like it

So by ‘modernising’ we simply mean filtering? They all lose their authentic beauty and charisma if you ask me,

Pic 1 classy, pic 2 random starlet. Feh.

On the update, the sharper cut in on the lower right cheek ruined her original beauty. Her fuller and more natural cheeks have her the look that fit her and her character. But I may be wrong.

She looks so sad in the original picture

Making the upper lip fuller destroyed her identity, she now looks anonymous.

They made her smile more, what is with people asking women to smile more!

"Look, I transformed Bette Davis into a Barbie Davis."

Lip lift and eye color change do not make her modern.

She is still one of the most beautiful women, in my opinion.

It's funny because all the left pictures have been heavily retouched themselves. Carole Lombard had a not insignificant scar on her left cheek (if you watch My Man Godfrey, and you should, it's most noticeable in her side profile when sitting at the dump). She had another one near her left eye and one more by her mouth. Nearly every released picture of her had this airbrushed out; it was airbrushed in most movies, where possible, such as in strong front shots or when they couldn't use trick lighting to hide it.

Milla Jovovich

Ooh, I like that hair on the right!

Looks like a different person 😐

I think she looks basically the same on both

Joan looks much better in the color pic.

Love the colored one!

Bigger lips = just an anonymous stranger.
