Vote for Jodie Foster 1) Jodie Foster

Actractiveness and talent - a rare combination today.

MCW1966

My only problem is that Foster doesn’t make enough movies! My fave actress by a mile!

PiesGuy

Damn, I voted for Sandra before but now I must vote for Foster because I just remembered how good she was and Gillian Anderson dosn’t even come close to be as good as Foster.

Like a diamond, the Diamond Star is multi-faceted. Her brilliance in her craft shines through in every role she portrays. She was awarded the Best Comedy Actress award from Asian TV awards thrice (3x) and continue to receive best actress awards (for both comedy and drama) from the local award-giving bodies.

If you see Titanic you’ll understand why voted for her

Razor79

I may say Meryl Streep, but she’s up high enough. Kate Winslet is the best Actress working right now. She barely has ever done a movie just for a little cash. The closest one was probably The Holiday and to be honest she was still good! Top 5 fo sho. Katherine Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, and Emma Thompson would be at the top of my list.

Vote for Salma Hayek 80) Salma Hayek

Vote for Debra Messing 81) Debra Messing

I think she is extremely underrated. When seeing her on Will & Grace, Debra gave some really intense performances.. closer to Academy Award caliber than Emmy caliber. And in her new show, The Starter Wife, she amazes me when she did her dream sequences: some examples: spoofs of Queen Elizabeth, Clint Eastwood of Dirty Harry, Drew Barrymore’s role in Scream, etc. Even in movies that may have been moderately popular, like The Wedding Date, or the remake of McHale’s Navy (her character: Lt. Penelope Carpenter, etc. ) she always gives top notch performances. She’s also equally proficient in dramatic performances as in comedy. I’m not an opera buff, but in some Will & Grace episodes, she demonstrated her beautiful singing. I’d put her closer to the level of Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon in talent. I just hope she does more big screen roles. The only other actress that I like equally to Debra is Jasmine Guy (Different World, Dead Like Me, etc. ). They are my two favorite actresses: I’d love to see them work togeter someday.

wngfan

i love her he is the best.she did a great job and was ver funny in will and grace

Vote for Barbra Streisand 82) Barbra Streisand

Vote for Jasmine Guy 83) Jasmine Guy

I wish she were more active today. Whether she was Whitley Gilbert on a Different World, or her brief role on Melrose Place as Caitlin rose Place, Dead Like Me, Queen, etc. Jasmine was a standout. She has a lot of subtlelty in her performances and is extremely beautiful and charismatic. She’s equally great in drama and comedy and a great dancer. Jasmine and Debra Messing are my two favorite actresses and I’d love to see them work together someday.

I have been a huge fan of Mandy Moore since AWTR. I still watch AWTR to this day. I am collecting all her CDs and DVDs.

Even though she is a singer, she can also act very well. In A Walk to Remember she was brilliant.
