Greatest Movie Star Of Them All
 

Florence Lawrence

. . . who made forty-seven films in 1911 alone! So stick that in your corn-cob pipe, De Niro, Hoffman & Duvall!

Viva Lawrence!

Although many of them were one reelers shot in a week, she was a trooper.

BUT my Gloria Swanson was and is the greatest star of them all :cool:

Here is some bio on Flo.

And that was a light year for her. She made 81 appearances in '09. :laugh:

I thought she swallowed ant paste? Didn't know it was around the holidays, though. That's sad.

Cool Info. I had read about her before, but forgot.

Greatest Movie star of them all???
 

..I'd say Pauly Shore.

:D "Bio Dome" is one of my guilty pleasures!

I could care less...
 

just as long as William "Capt James Tiberius Hooker...You...have...the...right...to...remain...silent...Spock" Shatner isnt the greatest :nod:

I could NEVER pick only one, I'd have a whole slew of them. And they'd probably be based on performances that I particularly enjoyed immensely rather than someone that's just a high profile actor. Though Katharine Hepburn is right up there; even in bad movies, she could do no wrong in my eyes.

Yarg, everyone always says Katherine. I pick Bette.

Because she's so good. :laugh: Same with Davis, though. If we were making a list of actresses, I'd most definitely include Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve, and Jessica Lange, too.

Oh, and Ellen Burstyn and Sally Kirkland (I don't care, she made a fan for life when I saw "Anna"). :wavey:

I'd add Isabelle to your list. but that's just me. Also Shirley Maclaine

Yup, add those ones, too. And Faye Dunaway (for Network alone) and Julianne Moore (for...everything).

totally. Now a hard one...would you add LIz Taylor? I think for Virginia wolf, but otherwise, not so sure.
