LONDON: Beating big names like screen legend Marilyn Monroe, pop icon Madonna and actress Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston has been named the hottest woman of all time in a new poll by online portal menshealth.com.

The 42-year-old was followed by American actress Raquel Welch at the second stop, Monroe at third and pop icons Britney Spears and Madonna at the fourth and fifth place respectively, reports contactmusic.com.

"Baywatch" beauty Pamela Anderson was at the eighth spot whereas Jane Fonda and Jolie took ninth and 10th place respectively.

According to the site, Aniston was a hands down winner because she is funny. "Funny is sexy, and Jennifer Aniston is funny. Her down-to-earth persona makes her seem attainable. And her all-too-human love life off screen inspires sympathy that not even a string of bland romantic comedies can diminish," the site reported.
