YAYA! Great choices! Now, I'm gonna do mine!
Ditto to Millie, and I too will post mine as well.
You always have people I don't know, so I will def check them out.
PS: Marsha Hunt was very beautiful!
Very good choices--hard to argue with Stanwyck & Davis for 1 & 2. I'd probably have Katherine Hepburn & one of my real faves, Irene Dunne in there some place.
DARN IT!! Irene Dunne!!! I LOVE HER! That's the one thing about making lists.. you always end up with people you remember after the fact. Now I don't have the heart to remove anyone who's already there...
Maybe I should do a little extra post of the ten or so people who SHOULD have made my top 20 lists but were remembered afterward :)
Good list! I love Barbara Stanwyck. :)
I may even post something like this at my blog, if you don't mind.
it really is hard to pick a favorite stanwyck film isn't it? she was amazing in so many different things!
it's only recently that i've been able to look back and realize what an incredible actress hayley mills is/was, must see more of her work.
gaahhh deborah kills me in night of the iguana. it's just such an understated and lovely performance.
great choices!
we have the same top 2 except the other way round. lol
I remember Juliet Mills in "Avanti". That's a good movie.
Great list! Wonderful choices. Would you mind terribly if I post one too?
Oh, and Happy Holidays!
Great list! I completely forgot to put Miriam Hopkins (and Bette Davis!) into mine. What film is Mademoiselle? Why haven't I seen it? Gaah! (Yes, I too love Jeanne Moreau!)
Your top two are the same as mine! Although some days Bette's my fave and other days it's Barbara, depending on my mood. Fun list, I want to make one too!
I had no idea you liked Susan Hayward so much! Excellent list, when I did my own list I stuck with Golden Age and 1950s actresses, so by default I omitted my beloved 1960s-70s performers. Nice that you included Julie Christie.
Glad you posted your favorite actresses. My own personal list would include IRENE DUNNE, CAROLE LOMBARD, JEAN HARLOW, GINGER ROGERS and maybe RUTH CHATTERTON and NORMA SHEARER.
Glad to see STANY as number one. Also delighted to see on the list MARSHA HUNT, who is still alive, and KAY FRANCIS.
Looking forward to your next list!
As we discussed, there were a few surprises in there. I didn't know you ware a Jane Fonda fan.
Barbara Stanwyck and Jean Arthur...my two favorites!
I love Jeanne Moreau in Jules et JIm!
Barbara Stanwyck is my all time fave too. Proving once again that great minds think alike.
Hayley Mills & Audrey Hepburn are my absolute favorites, along with Maureen O'Hara and Sophia Loren. :)
