Name Your Favorite Actor or Actress...

I saw on a few blogs that had to list some of their favorite things, including a list of favorite actors or actresses...so I want to go a bit further and request you to list your FAVORITE actor or actress...
Here's mine...
Isn't this a pretty lady? She is MY favorite actress...
Here she is again...I think you have recognized the very talented Kathy Bates by now...


Do you remember her in "About Schmidt" with Jack Nicholson?


Can you believe she showed her naked self? What a gal!!!



I don't remember her in this movie, but doesn't she look fabulous?!




Again, not sure what movie she's in here, but it shows her range to be a homely character...




This is Kathy in a dark movie named "Dolores Claibourne"...

she stole the show in this character study..

Oh, here's my all time favorite movie with Kathy..."Fried Green Tomatoes"


And...the grandmother of all her movies... Annie Wilkes in "Misery"


Now, anyone who can swing a sledge hammer like she did in this movie and still make me LOVE her is my choice for actress of the century!!!


I also loved her as the Unsinkable Molly Brown in "Titanic" but I couldn't find any photos of her in that role...but, who could forget her?

Okay, it is your turn to name your favorite actor or actress and why if you care to play along...

My FAVORITE Actor and Actress starred in the same movie TOGETHER!

They are Christopher Reeve (Superman, who died way too young) and Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman).

They starred in the MOST BEAUTIFUL movie ever...SOMEWHERE IN TIME. It was filmed on Mackinac Island, in Michigan...in 1979 and released in 1980. It's a go-back-in-time type of movie...and just LOVELY!!

Morning girl! I love how Kathy Bates can tranform into any character! But my all time Favorite Actor is Jimmy Stewart hands down! Have a great weekend girl!

Bo, this a hard choice for sure. I so admire Kathy Bates. I do think I have to pick Meryl Streep. Did you see her in Mamma Mia? She can do anything including Broadway. And she can sing!

Good question today.

Hugs, Jeanne

Hi Bo, Kathy Bates is a great actress. I enjoyed the photos from her various roles. I'd like to see those movies again. My favorite actress is Meryl Streep. I think that she's gotten better with age.

You know it had to take a self confidence to hop in that hot tub naked. She's a great actress. I don't have a fave at the moment, but I do like Julian Moore and Meryl Streep. Meryl was fantastic in a Devil Wears Prada. I think Cameron Diaz is way overrated.

Ya gotta admire a woman of "a certain age and body type" for having the courage to bare-it-all. For me....I gotta go with my all time hottie Mel Gibson....he makes me drool!

My hubby was just talking about her in Misery. I have always LOVED her too. Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my all time FAVORITES :o)

Unknown said...

She was something else in Misery wasn't she...and also loved Fried Green Tomatoes!

I think it takes lots of talent to be ablt to adapt to such totally different roles like she does.

Kathy said...

Beaudine Gunch and Dustin Hooker hahahahaha, Daphne xx

Stephanie ~ Angelic Accents said...

She's one of my favorites, too! Didn't she play with John Travolta in the movie spoof of Bill Clinton's campaign? I cannot remember the name of the movie!

She's fabulous, Bo! I think the one in the cowboy hat is from Primary Colors. An absolutely wonderful actor!!
I've always loved Jimmy Stewart and watch anything he made.

One of my all time favorite actors passed away yesterday. Paul Newman was not only wonderful on screen, but he was a wonderful man!

Diane Keaton is one of my favorite actresses, too. Always enjoy seeing her movies.

Katharine Hepburn...a classic woman of Hollywood yet with a mind of her own...4 academy awards won...12 nominations

she made "wearing slacks" and "no makeup" the new things to do

...played a great Jo in LITTLE WOMEN

One of my ALL-TIME FAVs was:
On Golden Pond (1981)--12th Oscar nom'n and 4th win--a record for an actress.
Died at 96yo(a tough old coot herself!...she called Henry Fonda an old coot in ON GOLDEN POND)

Good Morning Bo,

Kathy Bates is wonderful. I am not sure who my favorite would be. I guess Halle Berry. Halle is very versatile.

My favorite is Meryl Streep. Hands down! I have loved her since the first time I ever saw her. She can do anything, and I believe she is a fine person, too.

Hey Bo!
I can see I'll be off the beaten path here but one of my absolute favorite actresses is Maggie Smith. And Rex Harrison has to be one of my favorite actors. They were in a wonderful movie together called The Honey Pot. Anyone else seen it?

p.s. Kathy is a kicker as well. Sassy and strong.
