It's interesting how she can look pretty but plain, yet look so fantastic on camera in many shots. On the commentary for one of the spiderman films, director Sam Raimi remarks on how the camera just loves her, and it was exactly waht I was thinking at the time. The thing is, she can have an incredibly warm, expressive, feminine look, so much so that it practically explodes out of the frame. Other women are born with more, but what she's got, she uses immensely, and the result can be almost shocking in some sequences.

A parallel I can think of is Carmen Diaz. This anorexic girl, in Something About Mary, was treated so lovingly by the camera that she blew up the frame and seemed to leap out into the audience. It was breathtaking, one of the most beautiful sells of a product, I mean actress, ever. The editing and everything else built to a climax, the center of which was her impossibly beautiful face, charmingly displayed in a point of the script where she seemed utterly lovable. I can't imagine how anybody could possibly be better sold and made more overwhelming. (For that, I refer back to Rear Window and Grace Kelly in the kiss scene and in the introductory scene.)

Years later, I remember seeing some Hollywood starlets talking about Carmen Diaz, and noting with some odd mix of respect, frustration, and timid objection that guys seemed to really love Carmen Diaz. No, really REALLY love her. That she was the impossibly hot sh*t and it was kind of overwhelming for everybody else, even starlets at the top of their sexiness and arguably at least as hot.

Shows how much the camera, good direction, and editing can rocket a starlet's sex appeal up to the stratosphere. She wasn't one of my favorites by a very long shot, but I felt almost victimized by her perfect presentation in Something About Mary, and became a huge fan thereafter.

Kirsten Dunst, like Diaz, didn't impress me all that much. But seeing how well she was presented in Spidey 1, it was hard not to adore her. She has a gift for working her magic, and everyone around her was smart enough to find a way to let her do her thing. How lucky for everyone.

Both pics of Aishwarya in the OP are terrible. My vote sticks with here.
