My Favorite Actors and Actresses

OK, here is my list of my favorite actors and actresses. By the way, can you say actress anymore. I am noticing a trend towards saying actor to refer to either sex. I have no problem with this, as it is correct but I wonder if the trend will further evolve to the use of Mankind or other generic terms. I think that unless one is simpleminded, most people understand the use of the male term to represent both sexes. I suspect some know-it-alls over the past 30 years thought they would eliminate bigotry or encourage women into male dominated fields by the use of different terms. All the women I know are perfectly capable without the help of these social engineers.

Oh, well on to the list. These are my favorite, not necessarily the best. Could be a longer list but I limited it. By far the best of all time is Jimmy Stewart, but for recent years:
