Favourite movie actresses

Apologies for those who feel I have left out someone really important.

My choice is Audrey Hepburn. Hands down. She was wonderful in Charade and Roman Holiday (see images).

"Best" is of course highly subjective.

Let's just say it is defined as whatever you like in an actress (i.e. intelligence, acting skills, beauty, sensuality, compassion, want to marry her, want to spend a little smoochie time with her etc.).

Actually the reasons for your choice would be interesting to read.

Bruces: I decided not to allow multiple choice for obvious reasons.

Sheilas: "Best" movie actor polls to come.

AC/DC Bruces & Sheilas: Just go for it!

Difficult… I just voted for Grace Kelly because she's in one of my favourite hitchcock's movies: Rear Window

In my opinion, Rear Window excelled partly because of the soundtrack. I don't mean music, but the echo sound of noises coming from different apartments.

Definately Audrey Hepburn. Yeah, I agree with you rhisiart, she WAS really great in Charade (have it on DVD). Does anyone know Lily Palmer?
(if thats how one writes her name)

There, where all the great actresses missing the list are: In our comments. But one also has to see that the list doesn't include "younger" actresses. I certainly miss Penelope Cruz, personally, on this list.

Excellent point. I suppose the pre-1970's Hollywood favoured Caucasian women.

A post-1970 poll would show a different picture (e.g. Halle Berry, Ling Bai).
