Famous Beauties with Small Breasts

Some of the most beautiful women of all time had small or smaller busts. Some might even have been called "flat-chested," as if that matters an iota in the great scheme of things. We prefer the terms "lithe," "slender," "slim," "petite," "fabulous," "hot" and "stunning."

Françoise Hardy [30-24-33, bra size 30A] was simply stunning and HOT!



Your breasts are perfect for your lithe, slender body.
Please stop making false comparisons your hobby!
—"Expert Advice" by Michael R. Burch

Most of these enchantresses were also smaller around the hips than the standard 36-24-36 measure of female perfection. And yet they were very sexy, very desirable women, as the hormone-producing pictures on this page amply demonstrate.

A short revealing frock?
It's just my luck
your lips were made to mock!
—Sappho, loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Our gallery includes women who have been nominated as THE most beautiful of all time, such as Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor. And please pardon the inappropriate pun, but we have a "pie chart" which follows the picture gallery, where we take you from the most petite to the most voluptuous beauties of all time, in sequential order.

Audrey Hepburn [bra size 32A, weight 103 pounds] has been voted the world's most beautiful woman in a number of polls, including those recently conducted by Evian and QVC. According to a public poll conducted by Ranker, Audrey Hepburn is the third most beautiful woman of all time, after Marilyn Monroe and Scarlett Johansson.



"She had a quality no other actress had: a curious combination of lady and pixie. She was a joy to work with: enormous talent and no ego." — Sidney Sheldon

Show me your most intimate items of apparel;
begin with the hem of your quicksilver slip ...
—"Negligibles" by Michael R. Burch

After consulting a good number of rankings of the most beautiful women of all time, we believe the CONSENSUS TOP TEN SMALL-BREASTED BEAUTIES OF ALL TIME are Brooke Shields (#10), Lauren Bacall (#9), Natalie Wood (#8), Keira Knightley (#7), Nicole Kidman (#6), Brigitte Bardot (#5), Elizabeth Taylor (#4), Natalie Portman (#3), Audrey Hepburn (#2) and Grace Kelly (#1).

High Honorable Mentions go to Ingrid Bergman, Cher, Princess Diana, Megan Fox, Ariana Grande, Iman, Kendall Jenner, Mila Kunis, Vivien Leigh, Kate Moss, Olivia Newton-John, Jane Seymour, Taylor Swift and Emma Watson

Dolly Parton recently ignited controversy when she said Reese Witherspoon would need a "big old boob job" in order to play her in a movie! Will the prejudice against small-breasted beauties never cease?

Vivien Leigh's most famous role was starring as Scarlett O'Hara in the epic movie Gone with the Wind.

Eros harrows my heart:

uprooting oaks.
—Sappho, loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Gloria Vanderbilt [bra size 32A]



Euryalus, born of the blue-eyed Graces,
scion of the bright-tressed Seasons,
son of the Cyprian,
whom dew-lidded Persuasion birthed among rose-blossoms.
—Ibykos/Ibycus, loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

The daughter of Russian immigrants, she started acting at age four, with her only previous training having been to sit in her mother's lap watching movies. Her leading men included James Dean ("Rebel Without A Cause"), Warren Beatty ("Splendor In The Grass"), John Wayne ("The Searchers") and Robert Redford in three different movies.

Lucille Ball [bra size 32A]



Lucille Ball began her career in show business as a model and chorus girl. She branched out into comedy after getting parts in movies with the Three Stooges and Marx Brothers. She was known as "the Queen of the B's" before finally achieving major success as a TV comedian. Her "I Love Lucy" TV show was so popular that she became the first female head of a studio, Desilu. And "I Love Lucy" was a ground-breaking show that set several firsts, such as using multiple cameras and filming before a live audience. Desilu went on to produce other TV shows, such as "Star Trek," "The Avengers" and "Mission: Impossible."

Christy Turlington [bra size 32A]





Olivia Newton-John [bra size 32B]



Geraldine Hoff Doyle aka "Rosie the Riveter"





Ironically, Geraldine Hoff only worked as a "riveter" for a short time because she was a cello player and was worried about injuring her hands. She found safer work at a soda fountain. During her brief stint as a factory worker, a UPI photographer took the iconic picture that helped create the legend of "Rosie the Riveter." The original "Rosie" didn't have bulging biceps ... those were the work of touch-up artists.

Ibykos Fragment 286, Circa 564 B.C.
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Come spring, the grand
apple trees stand
watered by a gushing river
where the maidens’ uncut flowers shiver
and the blossoming grape vine swells
in the gathering shadows.

Unfortunately
for me
Eros never rests
but like a Thracian tempest
ablaze with lightning
emanates from Aphrodite;
the results are frightening—
black,
bleak,
astonishing,
violently jolting me from my soles
to my soul.
