      My favorite has always been Bette Davis since she’s also from Massachusetts and wasn’t afraid to portray unlikeable roles which made me her more different than others of her time. I also really love Ingrid Bergman, I read they told her to lose weight and Fix her teeth and she refused, she was way ahead of her time ❤

      Especially since this was clearly more a beauty, style and sophistication contest as opposed to acting! Vivien was a true beauty who cut her teeth on the British stage and made what some consider a difficult transition to American film. Her body of work is phenomenal if you can get past her beauty. Also, Oscar winning actress Hattie McDaniel, one of her cast members in GWTW, should have been considered!

    Again...Vivien Leigh being left out, not even in honorable mentions really bothers me. She won Oscars twice in leading roles completely in contrast in different decades, often regarded as one of the most beautiful actresses ever (back then the beauty was surely the status in Hollywood), won the role of Scarlett O'Hara (arguably one of the most famous female characters in one of the most prominent Hollywood films ever, which even Katharine Hepburn was desperate to take), and went through a pretty dramatic life till her death. I would put her in the top 5. How she's been underappreciated now is a shame.

      I asked on a comment if she was here, you told me she is not, I was sure about it ! She was among the 3 best at least, she influnced so many great actresses who came later. She was so versatile, and could embody her roles like no one else. People just have a naive and outdated image of that era, they don't look at the actresses'performances, but they check if theire image fit their idea about "glamour". Stanwyck was very charming and classy, but she was beyond fashion and labels, she never played the game in Hollywood, that's way you can find a bit of her in today down-to-earth actresses like Susan Sarandon or Laure Dern who praises her.

    Marilyn and Liz should've been higher up the list. Liz has an amazing body of work and Marilyn despite being purposely reduced to 1-2 dimensional characters brought every single one to life like only she could. So tired of people dismissing her talent just because her roles were mostly comedic. Her and Audrey are the biggest gateway into old Hollywood. Lucille Ball and Judy are also massively underrated.

      No one dismiss Marilyn's talent, see she is on the list, for my part I think she is overrrated now, they gave her her chance to play drama, she was average in the Misfits and The River of No Return, and in comedies, she always played the same kind of dumb blonde, Kim Novak was better in that kind of roles, and Shirley McLaine, even Jane Russel, no one never talks about Jabe Russel, although she could play dramas.

    I know there are plenty of comments with names the likes of Garbo, Myrna Loy, Jean Arthur, Barbara Stanwyck, (all faves of mine) etc etc etc. But the actresses they chose are all fabulous access points for newcomers to classic film. Watching their most iconic films would expose a newcomer to a slew of essential leading men, directors, genres, archetypes, etc. Aside from silent films, the actresses they chose really do represent the 30s to the mid-60s fabulously. I think most classic film fans were welcomed into the fold by one of these 10 ladies. Personally, being introduced to Audrey Hepburn first and subsequently her leading men and then her leading men's other films eventually lead me to discover the likes of Loy, Stanwyck, and Garbo.

    Marilyn Monroe was very talented and I saw her in The Seven Year Itch and she was good in that movie. I was going to watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, but it was removed from TH-cam. It's sad that she had a traumatic childhood and Andrew Dominick and Joyce Carol Oates exploited her to spread lies about her. Hopefully, there's a TH-camr who's making a miniseries about her exploring the unknown side of her and it's successful.
