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.
"For it is by no means the case that only those who believe in God could possibly have a vested interest in the question of His existence."
--Edward Feser
"Our civilization has had many religions and many dispensations of thought. But one of the things that we have forgotten is that open-mindedness to the future and respect for evidence does mean wooliness and an absence of certitude in what we are."

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.

All of these people are better looking than what passes as "beautiful" today.
