Your Favorite Actresses?

This is a tough one, but I think it would help to check out my highest rated movies on IMDB. It's especially difficult because there are multiple factors I think of.. My favorites vs. best ability, and then there's probably attraction, and also the question of consistency. I guess one amazing performance is better than 10 average ones. And also, movies tend to center around men, and I have posted in the past things like "Movies Centered Around Women" and other similar ones, simply because I want something fresh, and noticed (along with music) they were centered around men. And then there's Hollywood where they would select actresses on looks. Remember, "Marty"? An independent movie, but still, back in 1954 it was possible for two "ugly" people to have a guy who looked like Ernest Borgnine, but the "dog" was Betsy Blair, who was very, very pretty. But they probably thought they'd lose a ton of money if they didn't have "eye candy".. There's a lot of ugly lead actors, Humphrey Bogart, etc.. Brando is the greatest and he's not handsome. But the women won't get this chance, and if they do, it's in a bad movie, or a bad role. Gena Rowlands Anna Magnani Setsuko Hara Sophia Loren Kati Outinen Margarete Tiesel is great in "Paradise: Love" but the movie is also great... To go off on another tangent, if you look at "Top Guitarists" (bassists, singers) I'm sure the songs are great. There are many great guitar player, but if you have a great writer like Roger Waters and Robert Lamm, you're going to get 10x more listeners, increasing the probability. There's only so many albums a company can push (they usually put 90% of their money on the top 1-3 bands) and as a result, there are a lot of great albums from the 70s that went ignored, not released, but are available thanks to YouTube.
