I never understood what people said when they refer to someone as looking like a "classic beauty", does this mean they resemble the classic beauties? Or they carry the refined features/timeless features of one?

They seem to use either interpretation interchangably.
1. Audrey Hepburn
2. Lauren Bacall
3. Grace Kelly
4. Sophie Loren
5. Elizabeth Taylor
Audrey is nr. 1, an equal measure of beauty and cutness, so she gets my vote.
Where is Anita Ekberg? I'd vote for her. :)
Well, the title was for the sake of brevity. A more proper might be: Beautiful actresses of the classic era. Although, as you say, classic beauty is also used to refer to refined feminine beauty in opposition to more peculiar androgynous beauty that's been so in fashion in recent decades.
Grace Kelly!
Perfect face and amazing bone structure.

1. Grace Kelly
2. Marilyn Monroe
3. Elizabeth Taylor
4. Brigitte Bardot
5. Sophia Loren
All of these people are better looking than what passes as "beautiful" today.
