Thanks! I just noticed that Marilyn Monroe is misspelled too.

Go Bette! Beat Audrey! (I guess that cheer isn't the right (American) cultural reference for this thread.)

The list you have is good but Raquel Welch and Jane Fonde are from a differnt move era than the rest of the list. They should be on your post 1970 poll.

Yes, you're probably right there. I just remember Raquel in 'One Million Years B.C.' and Jane Fonda in 'Barbarella'.

Thanks Minckster for getting the spelling right. I am going to fire my researcher!

Thumbs up

I can understand the reasons anyone has for their choice,but I still have to go with Sophia Loren. I still get "goosebumps"after all these years. The public side of Audrey Hepburn's personality,with her work with the U.N. on the behalf of the children truly is a very beautiful trait all on it's own.

Not on the list...Simone Signoret. "Ship of Fools" "Roof on the Top" plus other good French films she became famous for. Also, she was an "honest" person.
There is also Jean Simmons or Glenda Jackson, for example. This list is far away from terrific actesses. Hollywood is nice, but see BBC/PBS theatre plays.It's like seeing Laurence Olivier in a cruddy Hollywood film but if you saw him in Othello..... that changes everything. Sorry. I vote Simone, for the moment.
