MY FAVORITE ACTRESSES

Just as I enjoy the works of many actors, I also enjoy the works of many different actresses. However, without question, Bette Davis is my #1 gal.  I think she was absolutely terrific in nearly every role she ever took on, and I never tire of watching her.  My #2 and #3 gals are Susan Hayward and Barbara Stanwyck, most often in that order, though, on occasion, Miss Stanwyck may snag the #2 position from Miss Hayward.  The 4-10 gals each solidly own their position and are in no danger of being toppled. The 11-25 gals, however, do move around within their range, depending on whose films I am currently watching.  As of January, 2014, this is how things line up.
