Robin Tunney is just so talented. Some people are just jealous ad love to criticise her. I see nothing wrong with her. She's perfect!

I loved her in Prison break!

3Debra Messing

I see her compared to other actresses active today and she stands out. There's a lot of nuance and subtlety to her performances. I think Debra is closer to Meryl Streep in talent.

luvthtv

She is equally great at drama as in comedy. Often in Will&Grace she displayed dramatic intensity in her funniest moments. In the Starter Wife, she shows her incredible acting range in her character Molly Kagan's dream sequences: spoofs of Dirty Harry, Hello Dolly, Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, etc. Debra has a great singing voice, even when kidding around in Will&Grace. I loved her in movie roles: The Wedding Date, Along Came Polly, A Walk in The Clouds, etc. (even if the movies weren't always great. She's beautiful, as well. I think she's extremely underrated.


4Jasmine Guy

She should be starring in TV or movies. I understand she may be reprising her role in a big screen version of Dead Like Me. I loved her as Whitley Gilbert in a Different World...she was a magnetic presence. Also, she guested briefly as Caitlin on Melrose Place..giving Amanda (Heather Locklear) trouble in the corporate world. Other roles I've seen her in: as a fallen angel Kathleen in Touched By An Angel, in the miniseries Queen, etc. She is multitalented: great in comedy and drama, musically: singing and dancing. She and Debra Messing are two of my favorites. I'd love to see them work together someday.


5Naomi Watts

6Sherilyn Fenn

Just one thing - Audrey Horne in Twin Peaks.
Sherilyn deserved more interesting roles than she had

7Peta Wilson

Thought many times about it, why? I don't know but I suspect some 'smart' play within the Hollywood to crush her? Maybe she couldn't find good films? Anyway, all I could say she's awesome and and incredible actress. I've rarely seen people saying almost everything just with a pair of Eyes!

She was great basket-ball player
She was supermodel in Europe
She is unique but very underrated actress

18Kim Novak

19Helena Bonham Carter

20Julia Stiles

21Tara Strong

22Zooey Deschanel

23Lee Remick

24Natalie Wood

Beautiful women are too often stereotyped. Natalie Wood was a fine actress who worked at her craft. Watch "Splendor in the Grass" more closely and you'll realize that she brought a depth to that role that required more than shear beauty.


25Jenna Dewan

26Kristy Swanson

very underrated as an actress

27Madonna

28Thandie Newton

29Grey DeLisle

30Keira Knightley

Very sad how underrated she is after a string of great performances. She is a very subtle and effective actress who can emote just through her eyes. She showed that ability in Atonement. The Duchess showed a new level of maturity in her acting.

She was amazing in Showdown in Little Tokyo, Wayne's World, Top of the World, Scar City...

She brings a lot of gravity to a role and so much emotion can be seen under the surface in the characters she brings to life. Always interesting and watchable.
