TOP 30 FEMALE ACTRESSES IN CLASSIC MOVIES AND THE MOVIES YOU MUST SEE!

There are more Barbara Stanwyck movies that I absolutely adore than almost any other actress. She was gifted in so many ways. She could turn on the charm (aka "The Lady Eve"), be sexy and shrewd (aka "Meet John Doe" and "Baby Face"), dazzle with dancing and singing (aka Ball of Fire), be cynical and expressive (AKA "Sorry Wrong Number"), mysterious and cunning to get what she wants (AKA "Double Indemnity"), revengeful and hateful (AKA "The Secret Love of Martha Ivers") and show off her bravado (AKA "Annie Oakley"). She is one of the Greatest Actresses ever...and her movies are a JOY to watch!

MUST SEE MOVIES (9s and 10s) **My RATINGS Not IMDB"" 1. Ball of Fire - 10 Stars (Written by Billy Wider this is one of the funniest movies ever with a great screwball plot! Gary Cooper is a simple man that gets taken by a sophisticated girl!) 2. The Lady Eve - 10 Stars (She seduces Henry Fonda not one but TWICE. This is one of the great classic movies with romance, cheating, revenge, and reconciliation...ENJOY!) 3. The Strange Love of Martha Ivers - 9 Stars (A wonderful cast and a mesmerizing plot! Kirk Douglas and Van Helflin fight over Stanwyck's character who is complicated and cunning).

GREAT MOVIES THAT YOU WILL ENJOY (7s or 8s): 1. Double Indemnity - 8 Stars (Some would rate this movie higher...It is a very good show.

For many, she is the greatest of all time and on my list she is #2. Audrey Hepburn was absolutely delightful. She had the charm, the voice, the wit, and they expressions to just melt you and make you fall in love with her. She is in some of the greatest movies ever made and the biggest reasons her movies were excellent is because of HER ACTING. Her star in Hollywood will be forever enshrined in history!

To say she was a Great Actress is a UNDERSTATEMENT...she was quite possible the greatest of her generation!

The most beautiful actress to ever grace the Silver Screen! She only made 18 movies but her movies were so good that she will be forever remembered as one of Hollywoods greatest stars!
