Without question, Meryl Streep is by far the greatest actress of all time. Her dedication to her art is unmistakable. While it may be difficult to pick a "greatest actor (male)", this really isn't even a choice. If you watched three movies with her, you would see three different people that look the same as opposed to a marketable, barely individual performer.
Meryl without a doubt, nobody else even comes close. Every film she plays a completely different character, with 100% accuracy and commitment. Seen every one except the Abba one, can't bring myself to watch that, but I'm sure she's great. Too many favorites to mention, Devil wears Prada the best recent one, Bridges of Madison County great because it stars the 2 greatest actors of all time, the rafting one her best action film, and Sophie's Choice the most distressing. Kate Winslet is the only one who has a chance of surpassing her, but I think at the end of the day 123 will be Meryl, Kate, Angeline.
THE BEST! She was wonderful in Prada, and I don't think anyone else could have done that part as well as she did. She is so amazing, especially at her age.
More comments about Meryl StreepIn my personel opinion, she is the best actress that ever lived. She made quite a performance in ''The Silence of The Lambs'', the Magnum Opus in her career so far. I hope that she won't quit acting yet-I'd love to see her in a new movie.
Jodie is the best best and best actress in hollywood. Her performance in contact was so remarkable and I love to see her films, what a super actor, she is a born actress. Silence of the lambs and flight plan all made hit only because of her performance. Beauty with acting in right proportion and SHE IS THE BEST
Smart, beautiful, fascinating... She has all talents. I love her face, her hands, her voice, whole HER.
she is a rare type, she has touched people's heart with her acting she is the best!
Sandra is not only beautiful, but she portrays the emotions of her characters with such originality and realism. She also knows how to have fun- something that is commonly lost these days. She is a wonderful mother, and I cry just thinking about her in The Blind Side. There couldn't be a more beautiful, kind, loving, and talented actress out there.
She is an amazing and talented actress that is able to portray many different characters who can mold herself into different roles. From CRASH, SPEED, MISS CONGENIALITY and many more including her recent film teaming up with Keanu reeves.

heather
Her performances in Girl, Interrupted, Changeling and Gia were really amazing. She has 1 Academy Award and 3 Golden Globe's, for God's sake.
More comments about Angelina JolieMaricel Soriano is one Filipina actress who can make you laugh in her comedy films, make you angry in her strong women roles, make you cry in her drama roles and touch your heart in her romantic movies. She gets so much into the character from the smallest detail of her mannerisms (she perfected this in the movie INANG YAYA or Mother Nanny) and uses her eyes efffectively to express emotions.
Simply the best
better than all the rest...
She is the most versatile actress in the entire history of the Philippines.
The Diamond Star... and we love her!
Ana
She deserves to be on top! Truly a high caliber actress and pride of the Philippine movie industry. No doubt that she is a movie queen and the diamond star of the Philippine cinema.

More comments about Maricel SorianoFinest Actress of her generation. So varied, talented and remarkably beautiful.
I like her action in alien movie especially shows her talent as an actress. On the other hand she is still beautiful eventhough she's near 70..
She's an awesome actress! Her performances is Death and the Maiden, Gorillas in the Mist and Prayers for Bobby are unique, and in the Alien Ellen Ripley became her alter ego. The two better ideas of the last two Alien films, the death of Ripley (Alien 3) and making love with an alien (Resurrection) comes from her.

TITANIC, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, FINDING NEVER LAND, this talented British actress has been in films with some of the most talented actors in Hollywood and she's still going strong.
More comments about Kate WinsletThe best actress yet... she never compromises, always give her best on all of her movies...
Amazing actress in all types of movies. Excellent in Dangerous Minds (1995), Up Close & Personal (1996), The Deep End of the Ocean (1999), What Lies Beneath (2000), I Am Sam (2001), White Oleander (2002), Hairspray (2007).

Dame Maggie is my absolute favorite actress of all time. Her ability to play any character there is makes me truly in awe of her talent. Her performances as Jean Brodie, Judith Hearne, Dianna Barrie and Minerva McGonagall make my heart melt. She truly is the best actress of all time. Highly underrated? Of course. Highly under-appreciated? Yes. But she really is the best.
I Love the way she deLivers her script!

The best actress that has ever been. She will be one day counted among the best actresses of all time, but for that she has to do a lot of more movies
Her performance in Monster was the best acting performance I have ever seen. You just forget she's acting, it's incredible.
Amazing and Beautiful actress. She's great in all roles she does.
Most underrated actress, she never tries to outshine other characters - a true actor. Subtle.

More comments about Jennifer AnistonSimply the best! 'Best Actress' Oscars: "Morning Glory"(1933). "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"(1967), "The Lion in Winter" (1969), "On Golden Pond" (1982). Achievements? Amazing. Loved all her movies, especially enjoyed "Woman of the Year". I wonder how many more 'Best Actress' awards Katharine may have won if she hadn't been labeled 'Box-Office Poison' for her spunk as a libertarian. Longevity in the movie industry for a woman is a mountain that is difficult to climb. Katharine's acting is a shining example to other actors that it can be done. What a gal!

To have won four Oscars is a feat that only this talented actress has achieved. She definitely deserves to be higher up on this list!
Imagine this: 4 Oscars all for leading roles. Isn't that bold enough?

More comments about Helen MirrenThe best OF THE LIST, AMAZING in LEON, MY BLUBERRY NIGTHS, CLOSER, GOYAS GHOSTS, BLACK SWAN
She was AMAZING in Blacj Swan and if you've seen the movie, it was a very hard role to play. Her and Kate Winslet are my favorites :)
She is very real, believable, dynamic, has range, talent, looks, gets good roles. Even though she's young and perfectly pretty I truly respect her acting ability.
More comments about Natalie PortmanI think she's the most talented actress of all time! Shes just amazing, and she has always been so good. I mean, have you ever seen I am sam? she was so young, but still an amazing actress. (:
Just my opinion
War of the Worlds, Hide and Seek, Uptown Girls, Man on Fire, Cat in the Hat, Sweet Home Alabama, I Am Sam, Tomcats, this little girl is gonna burn out by the time she is 16 if she doesnt slow down a little, but she is one hell of an actress!

Dakota Fanning is amazing in everything she's been in. Seriously one of the best young actresses of this generation. Recently she's done the Runaways, and New Moon ^^ Eclipse.
More comments about Dakota FanningThis truly iconic being is head & shoulders above all others that have been put before her in this current list of litterpigs!that are not fit to even be mentioned in the same breath as this legendary goddess. Consequently it is futile to list this person along with the likes of most the others mentioned.
my fav. she should be number 2. Jennifer Lopez should be number one, then 3rd, Maryl Streep, then Lindsay Lohan <3
Love her at Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday, she is the greatest along with Grace Kelly and Katharine Hepburn
More comments about Audrey HepburnI enjoy Catherine Deneuve's work more than Meryl Streep's. She is more classy, more "artistic", very delicate, without any exaggerated ticks, besides she's such a beauty and has a unique personality. She has also taken many risks as an actress, performing roles not even Meryl Streep would've dared to do or even could do
Wonderful, beautiful European superstar with a powerful presence. A lady who gave terrific performances in legendary movies like Belle de Jour.
Catherine always gives a brilliant performance. Her mere presence in a film you know you are about to witness a thing of beauty - and not just her face. It is obvious that with every great performance it is done with a big heart and an incredible mind. Bravo Catherine for continuing to surprise us with your immense range.
More comments about Catherine DeneuveConnelly definitely has been in many great movies! She should be at least recognized in top 20. Oh, and she hasn't done any horrid movies like Twilight (Fanning), so let's go people!
Trying to get her above Dakota Fanning. That girl is so annoying... Jennifer Cornell has had too many intense roles which she has pulled off not to beat that brat. Dude. Blood Diamond. Requiem for a Dream. House of the Sand and Fog. etc. Take your pick.
Fantastic and versatile actress. Thoughtful, intelligent roles with a career that spans almost 3 decades. I think she's underrated as an actress since she's not about flash and hype. Both Jennifer and Kate Winslet belong in the top 10.
More comments about Jennifer ConnellyShe IS amazing, face expressions, every thing, she is the coming best actress in the world and trust me when I say she will receive the Oscar one day. SHE IS... SHE IS MY DREAM.

Beautiful and amazing, absolutely inspires me in every way possible. In a way shes kind of let me change my life. Phenominal actress not to mention human being.
Whys she so far down the list I'll never know
More comments about Helena Bonham-CarterCate Blanchett's range supersedes any other actor of her generation. She has a chameleon like ability to transform herself into any role. All her performances are of a standard rarely seen. Her depth & emotional connection with audiences is evident in all her films. Her convincing & award winning portrayals of real life characters, such as, movie star, Katherine Hepburn in "Aviator", Queen Elizabeth 1 in "Elizabeth" & Jude Quinn(Bob Dylan)in "I'm Not There", are performed with an unsurpassed honesty, empathy & integrity.
BY FAR Cate should be number one. Streep is overrated and has no business being number one. It has been said, and I agree, Cate is in a league of her own.
She's completely in a league of her own. In every single performance, she embodies all that the character is meant to be from stunning emotional depth to well though personal touches which gives her characters their own unique traits. She stands out from film to film as one of the most versatile actors in the world. She's undoubtedly the best actor (male/female) of our time!
Don't believe me? Elizabeth, I'm Not There, Babel, Notes on A Scandal...
To name a few, but everything she does is golden.
She is the future of Hollywood. Only her presence in a scene makes it worth watching. Her glow makes it very real to us. Love her when she looks scared or confused...
Just 10 more movies, she can top any list...
She's really who she is... Never tries to show off... And when she acts she gives her 100~~
SHE'S THE BEST ACTRESS EVER!
I really love everything about here! She's really awesome!
The Twilight Saga are the best movies I've ever seen! I really love them. And that's totally because of her (also because Taylor Lautner en Robert Pattinson are totally HOTTIES haha lol)!
I love you Kristen! You should be the number one!
She is a wonderful young actress. Her performances in Pride and Prejudice, Atonement, The Duchess and the Edge of Love show that she is developing into a very good actress. In my opinion she should definitely be higher on the list. I think she will become one of the leading actresses of her generation.

Bette Davis is by far the greatest actress of all time. I love her, and her movies. She made around 90 of them, and gave greater performances than anyone else in every one.

She likes dancing, she likes singing, likes to entertain. In addition to being a genuienly sincere person free with her emotions, she is one of the best and most underrated actresses of her time. When she acts, I belive her. She carries me with every word and expression. Always appropriate and deep with authenticity.
“Please, no one can argue with one of the girls that started it all, she was a bombshell and a great actress for her time.

I know she's a trash bag, but she is a good actress. Her best work was Mean Girls, Freaky Friday, and The Parent Trap.

“good at horror and comedy movies.
“When I think of great acting, I think of someone that convince me they ARE the character. Jamie Lee Curtis does that. I considered Cristina Ricci, Glen Close, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sigourney Weaver, Gwyneth Paltrow. All are good, but tend toward certain genres. Jamie Lee has covered them all convincingly.
“Classy and refined, she is always worth watching even when the films are not.
SHE'S REALLY TALENTED & FABLOUS ..,SHE'S CLASIC TALENT ..,THE oSCAR WINNING ACTRESS IS cOMING sTROOONGLY
I love gwyneth paltrow! she was awesome on glee and in iron man. especially on glee, she's an excellent singer!
She is the best hollywood actress of all time... I watch most of her movie... And my favourites are Shakespeare in Love, Great Expectation, Country Strong, Iron man 1 2, Sylvia, Sliding Door, A Perfect Murder, Se7en, Emma... Just love all her film.. Hope that she will make more fantastic film in the future!
+1Her performance in "The Mask" was super.
kkkppp
Why is cameron diaz at the lowest position? Oh my god. She is so amazing. Her film is good.
Sexy, creepy, mean, nice, goth, normal, she can play it all. I would equate her in many ways to Johnny Depp in that for many many years he was very underrated, yet always played his roles so perfectly. Golden Globe winner yetalways passed up for an academy nomination she is one of th actresses i truly enjoy watching on screen.
Christina Ricci has pure talent. The facial expressions, everything is amazing.
I loved penelope and the addams family films. Christina ricci is fabulous!
“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.
She's awesome! Just check out Where the heart is, and Double Jeopardy... 2 totally different movies, but she makes her character work in both!
She is simply fantastic, very credible, and I really enjoy watching her variou personalities throughout the various characters she has protrayed.
+1she should totally be in the top 10, it is a crime that all this crap is ahead of her!
+1A wonderful actress and a true American icon.

beatlesforever6
she is a very good actress and i loved her in princess diaries 1 and 2 you rock julie
You must ALL be kids. Being hot & being a versatile performer are VERY different.
“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.

EVERYONE SHOULD RENT IT AND OBSERVE HER TRUE TALENT
Since I watched her movie " A Walk to Remember" with Shane West, I've been her avid fan... I'm starting collecting her CDs and DVDs. She's not only a good actress but a best singer. However, sometime she's playing a villain role but for me she's a multi-talented damsel in town...
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.
More comments about Mandy MooreShe definitely deserves to be higher. Not only is she gorgeous, but she is genuinely enjoyable as an actress. She's also smart and articulate and has an endearing personality. Not to mention her attempt to do variation rather than just playing the "Hot Girl" in movie after movie. Miley Cyrus above her? An absolute travesty in my opinion.
This is one of the only young female actresses who is sexy, beautiful, and cute all at once. Having loads of acting experiences she is the only hot chick who can truely act. Independant films such as "The Quiet" and "He Was A Quiet Man" show that this beauty gives a lot more than expected. She is a joy to watch on screen!
+1Well, it's been said that her eyes could make the sky pale. Those eyes captivated millions. One of the few Child stars who built a successful career. Through many marriages and illnesses Taylor lived a true Hollywood life to create some great films and a legendary status.
+2So often overlooked but always perfect in supporting or leading roles. And always lovely, as well!
Should be much higher on the list of great actresses--a truly legenday actress ever since her early film roles in GONE WITH THE WIND and THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and then her great dramatic roles during her free-lance years after getting out of her Warner contract. Elegant lady.
