Let's start a new thread about our fav actresses. I'd like you to post actresses not just because they are beautiful women but because you do like their characters in some movies. It would be great if you post the titles of movies starring your fav actress and where you liked her character. And of course it would be awesome if you post some pics so other people can take a look at your favs.
Here are my picks:
1. Marilyn Monroe.
The greatest actress ever. I do adore her characters in:
The next pic below is from the episode when Sugar (Monroe) tries to make the acquaintance of a fake Florida's millionaire Lol
Marilyn Monroe: Tell me, who runs up that flag? Your wife?
Tony Curtis: No, my flag steward.
Marilyn Monroe: Who mixes the cocktails? Your wife?
Tony Curtis: No, my cocktail steward. Look, if you're interested in whether I am married or not...
Marilyn Monroe: Oh, I'm not interested at all.
Tony Curtis: Well, I'm not.
Marilyn Monroe: That's very interesting.
'Some Like It Hot'
2. Sarah Jessica Parker.
I do like her character (Carrie Bradshaw) in the 'Sex And The City' series.

3. Renee Zellweger.
I'm into her characters in 'Me, Myself & Irene' and 'Bridget Jones's Diary'. Sad, but I didn't manage to find good pics from the movies starring her so I have to post here some other pics.
Nice list.
ExPit, I see you are the great fan of Barbara Streisand.
As for Amy Adams. I saw her for a first time in the series named 'Office' with Steve Carell. Have you seen that series in the first season about a saleswoman who sales bags for women. It was a cool series. Amy played a saleswoman who came into the office to sell her bags. Steve Carell tried to date her but failed Lol
Here is the link to that series (sorry, could not find a better quality video)
1--Audrey Hepburn
2--Meryll Streep (liked her for since Deerhunter, before the whole world decided she was the best thing since sliced bread, wanted to not like her because of this now but that would not be fair.
3--the level would drop a bit, then i would say Charlize theron
4--A french actress Audrey Tatou,
5-- Hillary Swank
6-- Kate winslett
7--Angelina Jolie
7--Julia Roberts
I chose these women on talent alone. I did not judge what they look like, just what they have done in film. There are a few I am sure I didn not think of, but these are my picks of the best actressess.
Audrey Hepburn - Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday, My Fair Lady, Sabrina, Wait Until Dark, Charade
Elizabeth Taylor - Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, National Velvet, Butterfield 8, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Little Women
Judy Garland - A Star is Born, The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St. Louis, The Harvey Girls, Easter Parade
Joan Crawford - Mildred Pierce, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, The Women, Possessed
Julie Andrews - The Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria, Mary Poppins
Sally Field - Norma Rae, Places in the Heart, Steel Magnolias, Sybil, Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire
Meryl Streep - The Deer Hunter, Sophie's Choice, Kramer vs. Kramer, Silkwood, Bridges of Madison County, One True Thing
Goldie Hawn - Shampoo, Private Benjamin, Cactus Flower, Foul Play
Jane Fonda - On Golden Pond, Nine to Five, Barefoot in the Park, Coming Home, Klute, Barbarella
Sissy Spacek - Coal Miner's Daughter, Carrie, The River, Missing
Bette Midler - The Rose, For the Boys, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Beaches
Holly Hunter - The Piano, Broadcast News, Raising Arizona, Crash
Reese Witherspoon - Walk the Line, Legally Blond, Sweet Home Alabama
Jodie Foster - Silence of the Lambs, The Accused, Taxi Driver, Contact, Nell, Anna and the King
Kathy Bates - Misery, Fried Green Tomatoes, Delores Claiborn, Titanic
She never struck me as a great actress, until I saw her in this Edward Albee movie with her husband, Richard Burton. It is as good a performance as I've ever seen on film.
3--the level would drop a bit, then i would say Charlize theron
7--Angelina Jolie
These women you mentioned are by far one of the most beautiful actresses in the cinema.
Jolie was really cool in the Tomb Raider.
My fav movie starring Jolie was 'Life Or Something Like It'.
