Even in "Amelia e il ventaglio della bellezza" (I TL 1879-C) Magica turns into a similar to Marilyn, but in the story we can find out more about what she considers beautiful. First she says that she is beautiful but too dark, and then she loses herself in her own reflection because she is too beautiful.
When she says "too dark", is she referring to her hair or her complexion?

More a reference to the kind of beauty of Morticia Addams, dark in the atmosphere around her.

Speaking of women chasing Scrooge, I find it kind of amusing that in many of the old Donald Duck newspaper strips that I've read, Taliaferro, in his earliest uses of Scrooge, had him flaunt his wealth and boast about his net worth in an attempt to impress women, like a stereotypical old "man of means" (and a certain president). Clearly he hadn't quite grasped Scrooge's personality yet.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Taliaferro had some very unusual ideas about how Scrooge got his money.
Between this and Gladsotne, it looks like Magica thinks the epitomy of beauty is blond hair. Huh.
It seems that Scrooge is enough to see a blonde wig and a bit of make-up to not understand the age of a female (or to recognize it).
Y'know, I can just barely make sense of this, but do remember that a lot of people here don't know Italian, next time.
Anyway, that's not to do with Scrooge. It's just a duck thing. Notice also all those stories where Donald only needs to put on false sideburns to be taken for Scrooge, even though there's fifty years' difference between them.

Sorry I thought the pictures were eloquish by themselves, Brigitta argues with another mallard to whom Scrooge asked to marry him. In the quarrel Brigitta snatches the other's wig revealing the white hair and the artifices used to hide that are the same age, Scrooge is shocked to discover that the beloved is not as young as he believed, later in the story it will be discovered that the two know each other because they were already been about to get married.

Same age as Brigitta, or Scrooge? And is Scrooge hereby admitting that he actually wants a young "trophy wife" and not someone more suitable in age for him?

Same age as Brigitta then about ten to fifteen years less than Scrooge. In history he was not looking for a younger girl, but the other mallard (Oketta Okay, a name whose play on words can be translated as Gwosalyn Goosy) made him believe that she have more or less the age of Daisy.

But the undercurrent there is still that both Brigitta and Oketta were convinced Scrooge would be more susceptible to the charms of a woman young enough to be his daughter than to those of someone even a decade and a half younger than him.
