You forgot Madonna on that list. /sarc
I agree - Bette Davies was one of the great movie actresses.
Gene Tierney!
I think the folks that compiled this list may have been drinking heavily (at the very least) when putting it together.
Molly Ringworm was great in 16 Candles but she was soooooo predictable in Pretty in Pink.... Sarcasm Lamp is now lit.
On another note, Janet Leigh, looked great in Jet Pilot!
Ringwald was obviously included due her stellar work on The Facts of Life TV series.
She was on Facts of Life? I did not know that.
What about Audrey Landers on BJ and the Bear. She was terrific. Or Charro for her work on the Love Boat. That was real acting, Coochie coochie coochie!
"All About Eve" is the greatest movie ever made.
The stars, the dialogue, the twists, this has been my all time favorite movie for years.
And Davis was absolutely brilliant.
For one year.
And now...
The New Cruelty list of the top 11 not so shabby actresses of recent memory- presented in no particular order
1.Kate Blanchett (I know I said in no particular order, but I really think she is the top)
2.Jodie Foster
3.Angela Bassett
4.Ashley Judd, Charlize Theron, and Angelina Jolie (they all look like the same person to me so they count as one big beautiful actress)
5.Hillary Swank
6.Kathy Bates
7.Frances McDormand
8.Nicole Kidman
9.Holly Hunter
10.Nathan Lane
11.Judy Dench
Was her character eaten by Blaire or Tootie?
I've heard Molly Ringwald sing with her father's traditional Dixieland jazz band at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee. She's a better singer than actress.
Also, her absolutely riveting performance in the movie version of "The Stand" helped. That one is right there with Coppola's daughter, whatever her name is, in Godfather 3 as the worst I have even seen.
They forgot George Clooney and Sean Penn!
Frances McDormand was great in Blood Simple. Fargo too.
And what ever happened to Fay Ray?
So far, she's great in every movie I've seen her in. Particularly Fargo and Wonder Boys.
You forgot Elizabeth Berkley from Show Girls.
What about Debbie Reynolds or Doris Day?
