Best Actress ?

[mazil]

Meryl Streep and Rachel McAdams.

Both are brilliant actresses and I love their movies. Amazing work really.

Haha, the MyHeritage Celebrity Face Match (try it, it's fun!) said I looked like Rachel McAdams... but I really didn't know who she was!

Hmm, I'd probably put a vote in for Nicole Kidman, she's been amazing in most movies I can remember her in. I quite like Audrey Tautou and Zhang Ziyi though they're both "newer" (ie. arguably less-experienced-than-some-mentioned-here) actresses.

Jodie Foster is cool, but I think the best actress of all time was Vivien Leigh (A Streetcar Named Desire, Gone with the Wind). Silence of the Lambs was a great movie though.

Vivien Leigh's work in Streetcar made me want to punch myself in the stomachwhile Tennessee Williams and Elia Kazan nail her face with a giant 2x4.
Also, please don't judge Rachel McAdams from the movies she's been in, she's actually a very fine, talented actress.

I like Thandie Newton, but not in ER.

Jodie Foster I suppose is just one of those stalwarts that always comes up in these things. I like Olivia Williams too, particularly in Rushmore.

Um... it's already been mentioned in about half of the posts, but Jodie Foster's the only actress that jumps out at me, albeit, it takes a lot to get my attention.
