The best actresses - Ah shit, that's a tough one ---  Judy Garland and Kathrine Hepburn (probably

For me, it's Sigourney Weaver.

She was perfectly cast and acted her heart out in Alien, since then she's made a couple of turkeys but she is versatile.

Jodie Foster also a good shout, although I liked her in "Maverick, Elysium and Anna and the King" - "Contact" was fucking awful

Ah I see you are a man of culture. 👍

 

EDIT: Forgot to add my own favourites of the only finest french actresses... Karen Lancaume and Laure Sainclaire were a couple of my favourites.

C'mon all you '70s thrusters on here ..... how about a shout out for Susan George ...!!

You are not wrong there, she was lovely. Also Yutte Stensgaard, Ingrid Pitt and Caroline Munroe.

May not be Oscar material but they were certainly worthy of my John Thomas award lol

Sally Fields was a little cutie, and was a very good actress. 

She is the sort of looking lady who you would marry. Same like Sandra Bullock, great actress and my type of lady. Neither of them have a trashy slutty look so many young women have now.

Yes.... Sally was thought of as class act, girl next door type (with a little spunk). Can't remember anyone ever having anything negative to say about her.

 

"The Flying Nun" and "Gidget"  were huge t.v. shows at one time. Think "Forrest Gump", "Steel Magnolias", "Mrs. Doubtfire", "Smokey and the Bandit", "Norma Rae" - huge box office hits.

Great movie this is.  Spring and Port Wine. Set in Bolton late 60s early 70s. Susan George plays a great role.

My favorite movie with her was "Murphy's Romance", from '85 with James Garner. Great movie and those two had a warm, believable chemistry.

As to actresses today, Emma Thompson is great. That scene in "Love Actually", where she is in the upstairs bedroom after realizing that the Christmas gift she had thought she would be getting from her husband, played by the great Alan Rickman, an expensive necklace which instead went to his secretary while she got a Joni Mitchell CD, you could feel her heartbreak and emotions without her saying a word. The audience is right there with her in that moment.

One other is Viola Davis, who is also terrific. She was in "Fences", with Denzel Washington and won an Oscar for her role playing his wife. The way she stood up to him in a key scene in that movie was an acting masterclass. Well worth watching that movie for that scene alone.

Not that either are big box office, and both have made some turkeys, but when they have had a solid script to work with, both actresses are just about as good as it gets.
