My top 5 vintage actresses (appearing in movies from the past) are...*drum roll*
1. Audrey Hepburn
Beautiful, Kind beyond words, oscar winner and an amazing actress, Audrey is simply wonderful.
2. Grace Kelly
Elegant, Oscar-winning actress Grace Kelly was one of THE most powerful women to set foot in Hollywood, and how she did it with such grace..
3. Marilyn Monroe
Possibly the only sex symbol with a downright classy demeanor Marilyn was talented, beautiful, a great personality on screen and not to mention an amazing singer.
4. Doris Day
Doris is by far one of my favourite actresses, she's a great actress, with a great voice and a kind-heart. ( A young one too thanks to Frank Sinatra :P )
5. Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth was beautiful, with the most amazing eyes and one of the best actresses during the golden age of Hollywood, even making it to spot number 7 on The American Film Institute's Female Legends list.
Top 5 Fake-Vintage Actresses
1. Queen Latifah- Secret Life of Bees.
Never have I seen a more heart-warming performance than that of Queen Latifah's take on August Boatwright. Forever am I moved by this character and I happily put Latifah first place for that.
2. Keira Knightley
Queen of period and vintage movies, Keira Knightley is unbeatable. She is my all time favourite actress, but when it comes to vintage movies I had to put Queen Latifah first. Still, without a doubt Keira is by far my favourite actress, she's creative, clever, and moving in her work.
3. Dakota Fanning
Again I have another favourite from the movie the Secret Life of Bees. If you have not seen it, hop to it, now. Dakota is one of a kind, a young actress, who actually ACTS *gasp* :O :O :O. This performance was utterly moving in so many ways and shows just how amazing Dakota can be.
4. Kate Winslet
Another favourite movie of mine, Titanic. I had a debate with myself whether to count it as vintage or periodic but it is set in 1912 AND has irish dancing in it AND Leonardo Di Caprio. It was my duty to include it. Kate plays Rose really well as you all might know, considering it is one of the highest grossing films in history. It's bound to have good actors. You have all seen it, I take it, so you know Kate is just simply awesome in it.
5. Rachel McAdams
Another awe inspiring display of acting skills. I have to say Rachel just keeps getting better and better with every movie she makes. She's elegant, intelligent and very believable at all times.
Well they're my top 10 actresses for vintage! What about you?
