CBS) Who is the most beautiful woman in the world? Half a century ago, Hollywood would have presented her to us. Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman or perhaps Elizabeth Taylor.
But today? Correspondent Bob Simon reports the woman who currently holds the title, at least according to thousands of Web sites, Internet polls and even Julia Roberts, is someone you've probably never heard of.
Her name is Aishwarya Rai, and she is an actress living and working in Bombay, India. The reigning queen of Indian cinema, and also a classically trained dancer, Rai has starred in 24 films over the last seven years.
That may seem like a lot of movies, but Bollywood, India’s film capital, is famous for churning out more movies a year than Hollywood. Three new films are produced and distributed worldwide every day, attracting a global audience of 5 billion people. That’s twice the reach of Hollywood.
The reason Bollywood films have such universal appeal is because they’re squeaky-clean. There are no sex scenes, not even kissing. Every time you think someone’s going to do it, they'll burst into song instead.
"I'd assume that's really a reflection of our society," Rai says, when asked to explain the films' modesty. "Of course people kiss and of course people have a very healthy love life. This is the land of the Kama Sutra. But nevertheless, in our society you don't really see people around the street corner kissing or being extremely, overtly, physically demonstrative publicly. They do it privately but not publicly."

I wrote this earlier - what do you think?
I was flying into Ann Arbor, MI, on a cold, clear October day.
I turned on short final - the sky was blue, and beautiful.
As I made the turn, I was busy adjusting the flaps, talking to the tower, monitoring the airspeed, and adjusting the manifold pressure. The gear was down.
Satisfied that everything inside the aircraft was in order, I looked up - and time stopped.
There was a bald eagle, between me and the sun, wings spread.
The light was filtering through its pinion feathers, creating a rainbow of brown and gold in my cockpit.
I held my breath.
It was - an indescribable sight. The light, the bird of prey, the blue sky - and one of us was going to die.
Thank god those Cessna's have huge bird blenders on the front.
I am concerned about you and your dog :o)
