But the Nine star was one of the younger actresses in the Top 10 compiled by clothing firm, Wizard Jeans.
Indeed, three women who are old enough to claim their pensions were voted 'most beautiful.'
French actress Catherine Deneuve, 67, was fifth in the list which was based on the amount of media coverage given to a select group of celebrities.
Dame Helen Mirren, 65, came sixth and 76-year-old Sophia Loren, a grandmother-of-two, was in 10th place.
Sally Allen from Wizard Jeans said all the women in the list possessed natural beauty.
She added: "As someone once said, the difference between pretty and beautiful is that pretty is temporal, whereas beautiful is eternal."

Hutton's call to 'celebrate' millionaires receives an icy response from the TUC
Wednesday 12 March 2008
The Labour Party should accept that Britain needs more rather than fewer millionaires, the Business Secretary John Hutton has declared.
Mr Hutton, a prominent Blairite, sparked a debate about Labour's future direction by urging the party not to attack huge salaries and bonuses in the City. "Rather than questioning whether high salaries are morally justified, we should celebrate the fact that people can be enormously successful in this country," he said. "Rather than placing a cap on that success, we should be questioning why it is not available to more people."
Mr Hutton's remarks will be seen as an attempt to rebuild bridges with the City, which has turned against the Government over its plans to target foreign residents who enjoy "non-domicile" status and to reform capital gains tax.
His views about high salaries are not shared by all his cabinet colleagues. Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, has called on company bosses to behave responsibly. He said last month: "Corporates – whether they're a water company or a bank – need to pass 'the next-door neighbour test'. If you're leaning over the fence talking to your next-door neighbour, can you justify what you've done?"
Mr Hutton's views are closer to those of Tony Blair, who once said "it's not a burning ambition for me to make sure that David Beckham earns less money", and Peter Mandelson, who said New Labour was "intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich".
But many Labour MPs are disappointed by figures suggesting that social mobility has not improved since 1997 and are alarmed that the Government may miss its target to halve child poverty by 2010.
Giving the annual lecture to the Progress group of Labour modernisers last night, Mr Hutton said: "It would be a good thing for our country if there were more millionaires in Britain not fewer. Our overarching goal that no one should get left behind must not become translated into a stultifying sense that no one should be allowed to get too far ahead."
He rejected calls that Labour should change course from the path set during the Blair era. But he admitted that the party's long-running debate over whether it should aim for "equality of outcome" and "equality of opportunity" had still not been settled.
Mr Hutton said: "There are still many who say they are definitely in favour of equality of opportunity – but what they mean is the opportunity to advance only to a certain level. Get too successful, too rich, and you need to be held back for the good of society. A key challenge for New Labour over the coming years is to recognise that, far from strengthening social justice, a version of equality that only gives you the opportunity to climb so far actually subverts the values we should be representing. Instead, any progressive party worth its name must enthusiastically advocate empowering people to climb without limits, free from any barrier holding them back – be it background, gender or outdated social attitudes."
The Business Secretary argued that New Labour must "renew our commitment to wealth creation and enterprise in Britain and to champion an increase in individual aspiration among the British people".
But Brendan Barber, TUC general secretary, dismissed Mr Hutton's speech as "out-of-touch". He said: "No one objects to proper rewards for risk-taking, innovation and major responsibility and some will always earn more than others. We look to ministers to stimulate debate about the absence of any link between company success and boardroom pay, not to celebrate it. The growth of a free-floating group of the super-rich harms social cohesion and threatens inflation."

What is a tsunami?
Published On: Jul 22 2011 02:44:37 PM CDT
A tsunami is a large ocean wave usually caused by an underwater earthquake or a volcanic explosion.
Tsunamis are not tidal waves, because tidal waves are caused by the forces of the moon, sun, and planets upon the tides, as well as the wind as it moves over the water.
With typical waves the water flows in circles, however with a tsunami the water flows straight.
This is why tsunamis cause so much damage!

Manchester United did have an agreement to sign Brazil midfielder Lucas Moura, the player's agent has claimed, before Paris Saint-Germain made a late move and swooped the youngster away from Old Trafford, ESPN has reported.
Rather than head to the Premier League and Sir Alex Ferguson Moura is to join up with Carlo Ancelotti in Ligue 1 in January. PSG will pay Sao Paulo €45m for the 19-year-old, a figure that led to Ferguson claiming the game has gone mad if a club is willing to pay so much for someone so young.
Moura's agent, Wagner Ribeiro, confirmed it was the intervention of PSG director Leonardo who diverted Moura way from Man Utd. Ribeiro said: "Everything was agreed between Sao Paulo and Manchester United…but then Leonardo called me and asked to talk to Lucas."
Ribeiro added that the shared bond between the compatriots Moura and Leonardo helped sway the player, as did the prospect of living in Paris. But Ribeiro insisted it was the "project" underway in the French capital that truly decided Moura's mind.

How They Get Away With Abramoff Tactics In Congress
One thing I've been fond of saying over the last couple of years is that Jack Abramoff didn't get in trouble for bribing members of Congress, he got in trouble for being explicit about it. The sort of chicanery that Abramoff engaged in goes on every day of the week in Congress, but they just don't openly admit that's what they're doing. If you don't believe that, just take a look at the results of this ethics committee probe:
Lobbyists and corporate officials talked bluntly in e-mail exchanges about connections between making generous campaign donations and securing federal funds through members of an important House Appropriations subcommittee, according to not-yet-public documents reviewed by ethics investigators.
In summer 2007, for example, senior executives at a small McLean defense firm tried to figure out which of them would buy a ticket to a wine-tasting fundraiser for Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), a member of the Appropriations subcommittee on defense. At the time, the company sought help from Moran's office in securing contracts through special earmarks added to the defense bill.
In an e-mail exchange, one senior officer said he didn't understand why he had to attend the fundraiser when he didn't even drink wine.
"You don't have to drink," Innovative Concepts' chief technology officer, Andrew Feldstein, shot back in an e-mail. "You just have to pay."
"LOL," responded the other officer.
The fundraiser was hosted by the PMA Group, a powerful lobbying firm whose unusual success in obtaining "earmarked" contracts from members of the military subcommittee was a key focus of a recent House ethics investigation.
Moran raked in $91,900 in campaign checks to his personal campaign and leadership PAC that day. He secured an $800,000 earmark for Innovative Concepts in the 2008 defense appropriations bill.
The e-mails were among the documents reviewed by congressional ethics investigators over the past nine months in a wide-ranging earmarks probe. The investigation ended last week when the House ethics committee issued a report exonerating all seven members under scrutiny. The Washington Post gained access to some of those internal records.
…An investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics uncovered dozens of examples of lobbyists and corporate officers expressing their belief that donations would help them. The OCE declined to share or discuss the documents reviewed by The Post. An OCE spokesman said such records would not be made public unless they directly linked donations with lawmakers' official acts.
Note how this works: These lobbyists and corporate officials fully believed that they had to make campaign donations to get earmarks. Moreover, it turned out that their campaign contributions did in fact lead to earmarks. However, the ethics committee concluded no laws were broken because there was no explicit tit-for-tat.
Put another way, Jack Abramoff walks up to a congressman and says, "I'll funnel $10,000 in campaign contributions to you in return for your sending $500,000 in taxpayer money to the firm I'm representing." That's bribery. That will put you in jail.
But, if lobbyist X walks up to a congressman and says, "I'll funnel $10,000 in campaign contributions to you — Oh, and the company I'm representing sure could use $500,000 in taxpayer money,": that is not illegal. In fact, it's called "business as usual" in Congress. Yet, didn't the exact same money change hands?
This is why our Congress is so hopelessly corrupt — because they've simply rewritten the rules so that they can legally be bribed into handing out YOUR tax dollars to their campaign contributors.

NEW YORK, NY and PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- 10gen, the MongoDB company, today announced that Intel Capital, Intel's global investment and M&A organization, and Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, have made strategic investments in the company. 10gen will use the funds to further invest in product development for MongoDB and to better support its rapidly growing community and user base worldwide. The funding agreement marks Intel Capital's first investment in the NoSQL market, and for Red Hat, expands the technical and go-to-market collaboration that exists between the two companies.
"We are pleased to welcome Intel Capital and Red Hat as strategic investors," said Max Schireson, president of 10gen. "We look forward to our new relationship with Intel Capital and to collaborating more closely with Red Hat to better enable and support our joint customers with integrated solutions and technologies."
MongoDB bridges the gap between relational database management systems (RDBMS) and key-value stores -- instead of storing data in tables and rows, MongoDB stores data in documents with dynamic schemas. Thousands of organizations of all sizes are using MongoDB for a range of scenarios including operational intelligence, content management, product data management, high volume data feeds, user data management, Hadoop and more.
Commenting on the investment, Lisa Lambert, vice president of Intel Capital and managing director of the Software and Services sector, said: "The NoSQL marketplace has gone through a huge transformation from a community driven market to running production systems for some of the world's largest infrastructures. With its agile, scalable technology, 10gen is uniquely positioned to take advantage of growing enterprise demand for a high performance data store. We look forward to collaborating with 10gen and helping accelerate penetration of MongoDB on Intel Architecture across enterprises worldwide."
10gen and Red Hat first began collaborating in 2011, with the launch of Red Hat's OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. In April 2012, the two companies announced new venues for collaboration and the joint development of best practices and blueprint reference designs for deploying MongoDB across Red Hat offerings, including the Red Hat Enterprise Linux enterprise operating system, OpenShift and Red Hat JBoss Middleware Solutions.
According to Ashesh Badani, general manager, Cloud Business Unit and OpenShift at Red Hat, "Red Hat's investment in 10gen will enable both companies to accelerate the development and adoption of new data-powered applications running on agile open source technologies designed for hybrid cloud and on-premise environments. The combination of MongoDB and Red Hat technologies, including OpenShift, Red Hat's Platform-as-a-Service solution, gives developers and IT professionals the tools they need to deploy next generation applications in the cloud."

Tennis-Wawrinka on track for Tour finals after overcoming Lopez
PARIS Oct 30 (Reuters) - Stanislas Wawrinka ran into a spot of bother but stayed on track for the ATP World Tour finals by seeing off Spain's Feliciano Lopez 6-3 3-6 6-3 in the second round of the Paris Masters on Wednesday.
The seventh-seeded Swiss, looking to qualify for the season-ending event for the first time, started the week in eighth place in the ATP Race to London.
Three tickets remain up for grabs, with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, David Ferrer, Juan Martin del Potro and Tomas Berdych having already qualified.
World number four Andy Murray of Britain has pulled out because of back surgery.
Wawrinka's victory means that Spaniard Nicolas Almagro is ruled out of the race.
The Swiss served 19 aces and prevailed in under two hours at Bercy, recovering quickly after a dip in concentration cost the 28-year-old the loss of the second set.
His compatriot Roger Federer will qualify for next week's finals at the O2 Arena in London if the 17-times grand slam champion beats South African Kevin Anderson in the second round.
World number one Nadal starts his Paris campaign with a second-round match against fellow Spaniard Marcel Granollers later on Wednesday.

The Brutally Honest Personality Test
Their result for The Brutally Honest Personality Test ...
One word. Boring. Sums you up to a tee. You're responsible, trustworthy, serious and down to earth. Boring. Boring. Boring.
You play by the rules. You follow tradition. You encourage structure.
You insist that EVERYBODY do EVERYTHING by the book. Seriously, is there even an ounce of imagination in that little brain of yours? I mean, what's the point of imagination, right? It has no practical value...
As far as you're concerned, abstract theories can go screw themselves. You just want the facts, all the facts and nothing but the facts.
Oh. And you're a perfectionist. About everything. You know that the previous sentence was gramattically incorrect and that "gramattically" was spelled wrong. Your financial records are correct to 25 decimal places and your bedroom is in pristine condition. In fact, you even don't sleep on your bed anymore for fear that you might crease the sheets.
Thankfully, you don't have anyone else to share the bed with, because you're uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. Too bad.
If you want to learn more about your personality type in a slightly less negative way, check out this.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)

Your Journey
At Imagine, we believe Financial Life Planning can only be effective if it's founded on a full understanding of your life goals and objectives.
Our focus is to discover your lifetime aspirations, evaluate your current and future financial resources and create a balanced and realistic plan to meet your goals.
The journey starts by listening to you…
Our Financial Planning process can be broken down into 6 distinct stages, which adheres to ISO22222, which pioneers best practice in Financial Planning.
1. Initial Meeting
The first meeting is to help you decide whether we can add value to your future. We will clearly explain how we work, the services we offer and how we charge for our work. This meeting is completed at our expense.
2. Discovery Meeting
We want to listen to your immediate financial priorities and concerns but importantly we will also take the time to listen and to understand what you want from your future.
We will discuss your existing financial arrangements and attitude to risk in order to develop a clear picture of you and your finances. The task of designing a Financial or Retirement Plan to help you achieve your goals can only be completed when we understand your priorities and beliefs around money.
3. Assess & Analyse
Utilising the information gathered, we will analyse your current personal and business position and assess what actions need to be taken to ensure your goals are achieved.
We will liaise with your existing providers to ensure we have up to date information to create an accurate balance sheet to help you understand your current position. Your individual Cashflow Model is based on your current assets, income and expenditure and linked to your future priorities and business exit strategy.
We will focus on your vision for the future to create your Personalised Financial Plan.
4. The Financial Plan Meeting
We now know what you want and where you want to be. During this meeting we present you with your detailed Financial Plan. We will illustrate your lifetime cashflow analysis and modelling to clearly show what actions are needed to achieve your goals.
We will tell you the truth about what you need to do and provide an explanation of the options open to you.
We encourage you to ask any questions during the meeting so you fully understand how the Financial Plan will work in the future and what this means to you.
5. Implement Plan & Recommendations
If you're happy to proceed with our proposals, we can begin to implement your Financial Plan strategy. This is an important and critical stage and various factors will need to be considered. We will manage the process of updating your existing plans and implement any agreed strategies.
6. Monitor & Review Your Plan
We don't believe that Financial Life Planning is a one-off event. We would to be your financial planner for life and work closely with your to ensure your future objectives are reached.
