Jennifer Aniston is officially the world's Hottest Woman of All Time - at least, according to US Men's Health. The former Friends star scooped the title ahead of sex symbols such as Raquel Welch, Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie in the American magazine. While the 42-year-old was last seen enjoying her role as a flirtatious dentist in Horrible Bosses, she admitted she doesn't always play a sexy siren on screen. "The least sexy character [I've played] was Jeannie Bueller on the TV version of Ferris Bueller's Day Off," she said. Jennifer, who is dating actor-writer Justin Theroux, said she is more impressed with a man's personality than his looks. "Sexiest thing about a man - other than abs - is if he can make me laugh, has compassion, kindness, and an accurately sized ego," she added. The actress said her two sexiest women of all time are tied between French starlet Brigitte Bardot and US feminist Gloria Steinem. "It's a tie between Brigitte Bardot and Gloria Steinem. But if I had to choose one, I'd say Gloria because, well, she's the full package. That's sexy," she explained.
