[littlelioncub43]

who are your top 5 favorite actors/actresses?

Oo good question!

Actresses:

Kathy Bates — has killed every single role shes ever done. Can do comedy and drama with the same level of dedication and expertise that puts her at the top of my list.

Marilyn Monroe — talented beyond belief! Unparalleled comedic timing, and still had the chops to do serious films. Amazing and phenomenal.

Katherine Hepburn — perfected the art of acting that even influenced Sir Anthony Hopkins. Plus her clothes were amazing. But man, she could act.

Octavia Spencer — I believe her character, no matter what, I believe it. Ive never once said "man, they shouldn't have casted Olivia Spencer." She's so good!

Michelle Yeoh — ever since I saw her in Memoirs of A Geisha when I was a kid, I knew she was great. And then I learned that she did stunts??? Amazing. I love when actresses are also stunt people, it's amazing.

Honorable mentions: Lucy Liu, Vicky Krieps, Renée Zellweger, Judy Garland, Mae West and many many many many more

Actors:

Anthony Hopkins — the way he is just so freaking natural no matter what role he plays is absolutely enchanting. He's simply being. It's incredible. He's not trying, he is. And I love it.

Michael Caine — He was the perfect Ebenezer Scrooge in The Muppets Christmas Carol, no one else should try. Plus his other bodies of work are impressive as heck.

Boris Karloff — he was the actor who played Frankenstein's Monster in the original Frankenstein in the 1930s. He made a bunch of other old horror films back then that are really fun!

James Cromwell — you should see him in L.A. Confidential. He's great in anything he's in, but that one movie is especially great.

Daniel Day-Lewis — this guy can freaking act. From classics like My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood, and The Age of Innocence to newer films like The Phantom Thread, he is absolutely captivating in all his work. Grated, he's a method actor, but when the product is something of this quality, I can allow it.

My brain is broken and I cant list any honorable mentions for the men, but I'm sure there are more out there bahaha
