My favourite actresses are
Meg Ryan
Franka Ponte (from Run Lola Run)
Meryl Streep

Shelly Winters!

Gawd...it took me hours to remember that!

YES...she's a classic! Through the years and tears and youth and maturity...I love her! I remember in the Poseidon Adventure, when she was a mature Jewish wife...plump and full of moxy...and she had to dive for a cable or something to save everyone...and she informed them that she used to be an Olympic swimmer in her youth...and OFF SHE WENT! God, I love her....salty, sassy and in touch with herself and her place in the world, it seems to me. Loud and brash, but honest overall!

Here's my list:

Jodie Foster
Jane Fonda
Kathy Bates
Julia Roberts
Drew Barrymore
Katharine Hepburn
Bette Davis

Lots more...

Gotta love Kate Hepburn Jane Russell in their hey-day. More recent, I really like Meryl Streep and Holly Hunter.

Hey don't forget about Audrey Hepburn. She was a good actress too. I loved her in "Breakfast At Tiffany's" and "My Fair Lady". Could someone remind me of some movies Katherine Hepburn played in, so i can remember if i've seen them? I'm sure i liked her too.

Katherine Hepburn...well, let me see...

African Queen (my favourite)

A Lion in Winter

On Golden Pond

The Rainmaker (the old one with Burt Lancaster...my favourite!) "I'm NOT Cleopatra, I'm NOT Desdamona(?), I'm NOT CINDERELLA AT THE BALL.............." (she was a rather plain farm girl who Burt (a wild eyed dreamer) kinda swept off her feet...tried to convince her she was sumthin')

*oops...TWO favourites there!*

There's heaps more!
Hope that helped, Jen9!

actresses for acting?
or acresses for looks?

I think that Audrey Hepburn took the cake on both.
never will be another.
won an Oscar in her very first movie!
'Roman Holiday'
'Wait Until Dark'
'Charade'
man, this list goes on and on.

Nope sorry Lefois that didn't help i don't think i seen any of her movies. !!!! I'm gonna have to see about renting some of those you said and watch them. Thanks for the reply.

My favorite actresses? The Hepburns:I enjoyed both of them the most in comedies.
Katherine in the Philadelphia Story and Bring up Baby, booth wacky comedies with Cary Grant.
Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany’s a movie that showcased her great beauty and comedic talent.
Lefois, it is nice to have someone, with whom to share some of these older memories.

Lord Andry! I'm so old I saw Wait Until Dark with my Grade 10 English class of 28 girls! We absolutely FREAKED in the final scenes! All grabbin' onto each other....and shrieking...it was GREAT!

..and Jen9...You MUST see "African Queen"..Humphrey Bogart's in it, too...........and the "Rainmaker" with Katherine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster....cause that's just one of the BEST! Honest! Might have to look at the Golden Oldies section, but they'll be CHEAP, anyway!

..and Vikan...don't like "getting on"...but it's nice to know ya, too!

I must echo the thread with Audrey Hepburn. Both talented and beautifull.

As far as modern actresses, Helen Hunt and Meg Ryan.

Sophie Loren has to be number one at sixty some years old the younger ones don't even come close, beauty class and talent she is the whole package.

Audrey Hepburn
Jamie Lee Curtis
Glen Close
Barbara Stanwyck

Oh, I am so glad that I am not the only who in the forums who actually remembers watching Audrey Hepburn on the screen instead of home video! She was such a lovely lady, a real joy to watch--I loved Sabrina, Breakfast At Tiffany's. I cannot recall one I did not enjoy.

I thought African Queen was Katherine Hepburn at her finest--fiesty, but vunerable, too.

Ms.Hepburn wrote a wonderful book, loaded with photos, on the making of The African Queen. She said the entire crew became very ill from drinking polluted water--except John Houston and Humphrey Bogart-who never drank any water-and even drank their whiskey neat!

And I really loved The Rainmaker, though, I would have chosen Burt Lancaster, I'm afraid!

I really could not believe the performance of Judi Dench in Chocolat--it blew me away!! She was marvelous.

yeah, I guess I was born in the wrong time.

I love old movies and old stars

god...Bogie was awesome
Ingrid Bergman in Casablance (and anything else)
who played opposite Bogie's Sam Spade in the Maltese Falcon?
I can't remember.
Vivian Leigh (this brings a mention of Clark Gable)

I don't know if gals like Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo belong in this category.

they were more bombshells...
I like the other girls for acting.

have to agree with cate blanchett and meg ryan....i'm beginning to like nicole kidman, but the jury is still out. I also think that Liv Tyler has quite a bit of potential.

LordA, You know another lady I thought of that was lovely and very classy was Grace Kelly. I never saw her on the big screen, but I catch her old movies on AMC and TCM when they are on. So you might enjoy her movies, too.

cate blanchett is a luminous aussie beauty
nicole kidman is radiant
love the gals from down under.

meg ryan is so girl next door.
I love as a comedic actress.
her orgasm scene with Billy Crystal in 'When Harry Met Sally' was classic.

Liv Tyler...hmmm...the jury is still out on her.
looks yes...acting...not sure yet.

Loved Grace Kelly...

Ha Ha, Lord Andry!

You made me laugh just then!

Meg Ryan....the scene with Billy Crystal!
Last year, when I was in community theatre...I was supposed to use JUST that scene to model my character after in our little play!

Well I did my damndest, let me assure you!
...just not QUITE!
