Ten on Tuesday — Ten Favorite Actors/Actresses
- Susan Sarandon — my favorites are Bull Durham, Thelma and Louise, and of course, Rocky Horror Picture Show (Let’s do the time warp again!!)
- And speaking of Thelma and Louise, Geena Davis — I liked her in Beetlejuice, too.
- Sissy Spacek — first saw her in Carrie, I think — and her portrayal of Loretta Lynn was amazing!
- William Powell — love The Thin Man movies — his Nick Charles was the funniest and happiest drunk guy I ever watched!! I know, totally PI. The “wiseguy dialogue” is always a hoot to listen to.
- And of course, Myrna Loy — her Nora Charles complemented Nick perfectly, and sometimes she even one-upped him.
- Mandy Patinkin in The Princess Bride — I liked him much better in that than in Criminal Minds.
- Tommy Lee Jones — I would watch him in anything, but especially “The Fugitive”.
- George Hamilton in Zorro the Gay Blade — a person could hurt themselves watching that movie!
- Meryl Streep — I think I first saw her in Sophie’s Choice — makes me cry every time I watch it.
- And since I started with Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins will round out my list. Also saw him first on Bull Durham I think, and loved his performance in The Shawshank Redemption. (Morgan Freeman’s too!)
