Below is a list I've made of the top 5 best living actresses, in my opinion. I'm going to post the same thread on each of their boards, so feel free to comment on my choices here or the other boards. Let me know what you think. I'd love to here other opinions of someone you think I've wrongfully omitted or if you agree. Of course, just listing 5 is incredibly difficult. They are ranked 1-5, 1 being the best.

1. Meryl Streep
2. Nicole Kidman
3. Vanessa Redgrave
4. Kate Winslet
5. Viola Davis

VERY hard to narrow it down to 5, and some of mine are unconventional:

Maureen O'Hara
Helen Mirren
Vanessa Redgrave
Cicey Tyson
Diana Rigg

Here are some more to round out a top 10:

Judi Dench
Meg Foster
Kate Winslet
Wynona Ryder
Sigourney Weaver

I told you I had some unconventional favorites. I generally dislike personality actors.

I don't patronize bunny rabbits!!

I need to see more of Vanessa's work before I decide if she's GOAT.
