1. Angelina Jolie. It is a sacrilege to talk about beautiful eyes, and not talk about Jolie's blue eyes. The woman, apart from her award-winning roles, humanitarian efforts and plump lips, is known for her gorgeous blue eyes which are considered one of the sexiest in the world.
I went to a site that cataloged eye color actors (http://www.listal.com) and I've found out that there are about 720 famous actors with blue eyes and 450 famous actors with brown eyes. Taking that the blue eyed population in america are about 15%, there is an obvious preference in Hollywood for the blue eyes...

How Rare Are Blue Eyes? About 27% of the United States population has blue eyes, according to a 2014 poll by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Blue eyes may not be the rarest eye color, but they aren't the most common one, either.
Determining the rarest eye color... not so straightforward

We found that green is the most popular lens colour, with brown coming in a close second, despite it being one of the most common eye colours. Although blue and hazel are seen as the most attractive eye colours for men and women they are surprisingly the least popular.
When broken down by gender, men ranked gray, blue, and green eyes as the most attractive, while women said they were most attracted to green, hazel, and gray eyes.

However, the conditional distribution of eye color is different for the Blue and Green eye colors, with differences of around six percentage points. A larger percentage of Males report Blue eyes (39.06% to 33.42%) and a larger percentage of Females report Green eyes (17.89% to 11.97%).

Are All Babies Born With Blue Eyes? It's a common belief that all babies are born with blue eyes, but this is actually a myth. A baby's eye colour at birth depends on genetics. Brown is also common, for example, but a newborn baby's eyes can range in colour from slate grey to black.
