I saw her last summer on Broadway when she was in "Chicago" and was really, really good. She played Roxie.

I forgot to include her in my list, but she's one of my faves. She's made a lot of good movies. Ever see "Something Wild" with her and Ray Liotta? That's one of my favorites!

Finally I'd add in her mother Tippi Hedren. When I was a kid she was one of my first crushes after seeing The Birds on TV. I think she was underrated in Marnie. Even though I wouldn't call her a great actress, her turns in those two Hitchcock movies made her a favourite of mine.

Yes!!

Marnie is one of my favorite movies of all time and so many people haven't heard of it I'm glad someone else appreciates it. And Tippi was great in that one: "There...there now."

Can't believe I forgot Glenn Close.
Amazing she has never won the Oscar.

Hmmmm....this is hard. I really like Julianne Moore, but I don't know if she's my favorite actress of all time.

Shirley MacLaine is always great, albeit kooky. She was just so kick ass in Terms of Endearment!

Margot Kidder's features are sharp; Lee's face was pretty square with wide eyes. I don't see it.

Isn't it so sad for Margo Kidder? I always thought that she was such a great actress and then someone found her one day wandering around like a homeless person speaking incoherently like a schizophrenic! Looks like Anne Heche is taking up her legacy.

Actually, they found her naked under some strangers porch, babbling about someone trying to kill her and brandishing a razor that she had used to cut off her hair and slice her head up. I'm glad she got help (she's manic depressive), because she's a great actress.

I kid you not. They committed her for quite awhile.

I really do like Julianne Moore, Kate Winslet, Gwenyth Paltrow, Emma Thompson and Cate Blanchett...and of course, like I have to even mention her...Catherine Deneuve.

I just saw the film Thirteen the other night with Holly Hunter...she played a rather good role.

The scene where she was asking her daughter if she ate that day was amazing. She was fantastic in that movie.

The movie itself was really sad and depressing but she and Evan Rachel Wood were damn good.
