Well, perhaps the nod should be re-named '80 years of Women in Cinema with absolutely no Women of Color' Dorothy Danridge,Pearl Bailey,Lena Horne,Eartha Kitt,Ruby Dee,Angela Bassett,oh and what's her face..ah yes Halle Barrie. But hey that's Ok, surely their talent doesn't count. Thanks for the what ever.

This is one of the best videos that I have seen, though I would have added Isabelle Adjani and a few others. The subject of different races always seems to present when video montages such as this are done. If anyone would like to do an all Oriental version then they should do so; the same with Black, Indian or any other race or nationality. Actually that would be something that I would like to see. To visually morph and balance between different races and facial structures is much more difficult than it seems which is why it is easier to stick to one race and even then it takes a great amount of work to get the presentation, continuity and audio track just right. The preceding comments about race are not directed at the author, rather the others that made comments in this vein. To the author of this video, you did an outstanding job. Much appreciation and kudos. The Best to All, Vladimir (Volodymyr) I. Druzhschienschky ---------

You are a moron. Was this shot from your perspective? Did the maker of this forget to contact you for permission to make this wonderful piece? Where exactly in the rule book of the world does it state that someone has to include one of every specimen known to the universe? Folks like you are whiners and self righteous arrogant pricks who think they know what is best for everyone. Joe47 whines: "This should be called CAUCASIAN WOMEN IN FILM" Uuh nope! It is called "Women in Film". That is the title. Not "Women in film according to Joe47", Nor "All women ever in film", Nor "Only women in film that meet the pre-approved Multicultural criteria", Nor "Women in film to make everyone happy"... Get a life.

Latest comment: "This is just fantastic - the editing work is nothing less than remarkable and amazing- I have never seen anything like this - perfect. Reading other comments it is true that there are and have been many 'ethnic' actresses that could have been included- but it does not take away from the excellent editing work done here. "

I've seen this montage on lots of different sites and this version is slightly different. The idiots who keep whining about there not being any black actresses should google "film women morphed" and they will see that in alternate versions Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, and Dorothy Dandridge are included. Brainwashed sheep who start fights when someone dares present something differing from their own view!

No Sara Montiel? Is there a place where faces of women in films live minus the face that stole the heart of a generation? Sara Montiel is and was the face of European Cinema. No one like her!

Wonderful work of art!!! Simply fabulous!!! Congratulations!!!! But... where in the name of all the goddess of the cinema is SARITA MONTIEL??? Sarita was, all by herself, more beautiful, photogenic and perfect than all of the gorgeous women featured in your work of art! Thank you!

First of all if you watched you would see what they were trying to say. All of the Caucasian woman have the same look. Their face shape, nose and mouth. It was a slam on the fact that "White America" has a mold that they look for. Lena, Hattie,Dorthy and Halle do not look alike. But Lena and Halle could have been in that line up as to what they look for in facial features if your White because they have the same features because they are part White. So don't jump to quick to make this a racial issue. Since it really shows how "WHITE AMERICA" keeps the same pattern and nothing has changed that much and this proves it.

I would like to figure out how to make a montage to represent a greater cross section of women in film. I was shocked that oscar winning Halle Berry was not included. Maddening isn't it?

I thought this was amazing!! You did a beautiful job of putting something together for your own enjoyment and sharing it with other people. Too bad people don't always appreciate it for what it is ... yours. You merely allowed us to view it and enjoy it along with you. And, I appreciate the opportunity. If someone makes a similar peice that happens to be all black women or all asian women or whatever, I will be equally impressed with the work they put into the project (if it is as good). And, I will be as equally appreciative of the opportunity they've given me to view their work.

Thanks Catsmeow339. Yes many people have been brainwashed and it is frighting to see the robots in action. Multiculturalism has become the new "religion" and the fanatics are just as bad as any other religion. I too thoroughly enjoyed this piece of work. Thanks to whomever made it.

The morphing is amazing but I have to agree with Joe47, where are the women of colour? The women in film who made a difference as to how women of colour in both Canada and the U.S. are portrayed, the opportunities and possibilities that exist in the film industry. These women should be included with their caucasian sisters and stand for ALL women of every race and colour who have had their own part to play in how we see ourselves and others.

This should be called CAUCASIAN WOMEN IN FILM. The closest it comes to showing women of color are the Hispanic Raquel Welch and Rita Hayworth and the reportedly part-Native American Angelina Jolie. Where are the black women? Where are, for instance, Lena Horne, Hattie McDaniel, Dorothy Dandridge, and Halle Berry, to name just a few? It's a disgraceful commentary on the anonymous filmmaker's ethnocentric notion of beauty to leave out black women and to concentrate so much on youngish white women of a certain glamorous look and a certain nationality. Where are the many older women who have graced films? Even beyond that, this is so heavily dominated by American women that it gives a highly skewed picture of "female portraits in cinema." I'd suggest a rewrite and reshoot.

lovely. wish there were women represented from many ethnic backgrounds. i a few, mostly italian or spanish decent. some color variation would be nice-Indian, Native American, Asian, Russian, South American, Inuit, Greek, you get the point. Oh well.

Hummm, I don't think someone is a "brainwashed sheep" when they point out that they would like to see the video be more inclusive of the women who have worked in cinema. I also noticed that there were not any women of color represented. Does that mean the video isn't good or that I didn't appreciate it for what it was? No. But it also doesn't mean I should have to surf the web to find other videos that are more representative of all of the diverse women who have worked in Hollywood.
