Actually, I had put together a list of actresses and was going to post it right after my first post....but I forgot and lost the list. But, the only one I am sure that I had on my list that was also on yours was Streep.

I also had Cate Blanchette

Next Five:

Connery, Ford, Hoffman, Freeman, Kirk Douglass

Honorable mention: Anthony Hopkins,

Younger crowd ready to replace them:

Depp, Day-Lewis, Hanks, Neeson, DiCaprio, Downey jr,, Denzel

Then you have Clooney, Pitt, Cruise etc. ... Huge Movie stars, not really iconic for their acting, but for their star-power, yes.

And you can throw Meryl Streep in there somewhere I guess.

Now I feel like is chauvinist. Certainly I think Meryl Streep is the greatest living actress, possibly the best of all time.

I don't feel too badly for forgetting because there are two categories at the Oscars... But good eye John

Something weird on your unit, whatever you are using. He is there. If there is a blank under Nicholson, that is where he goes.
