Actresses!

After the last post on Actors, I now have to do a similar one on actresses! So here are 10 great female performances - my choices for today at any rate!

Alida Valli - SENSO
Vivien Leigh - A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Bette Davis - NOW VOYAGER / OLD ACQUAINTANCE / THE LETTER / JEZEBEL
Katharine Hepburn - BRINGING UP BABY / SUMMERTIME / LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT / THE LION IN WINTER
Barbara Stanwyck - DOUBLE INDEMNITY
Irene Dunne - THE AWFUL TRUTH
Margaret Sullavan - THE MORTAL STORM / THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER
Susan Hayward - I'LL CRY TOMORROW / I WANT TO LIVE
Lee Remick - ANATOMY OF A MURDER / WILD RIVER / DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES
Sophia Loren - TWO WOMEN / MARRIAGE ITALIAN STYLE
Monica Vitti - L'AVVENTURA / L'ECLISSE
Romy Schneider - LE MORT EN DIRECT (DEATHWATCH)

That's a dozen - with no room for Gloria Swanson in SUNSET BOULEVARD, Jane Fonda in KLUTE, Judy in A STAR IS BORN, Liza in CABARET and THE STERILE CUCKOO, Faye Dunaway in CHINATOWN, Julie Christie in DARLING and AWAY FROM HER, Janet Leigh in PSYCHO, Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullmann in AUTUMN SONATA, Isabelle Adjani in THE HISTORY OF ADELE H, Wendy Hiller in I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, Jeanne Moreau in BAY OF ANGELS, Anna Magnani in THE GOLDEN COACH or WILD IS THE WIND, Judi Dench in NOTES ON A SCANDAL, Maggie Smith in THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Kay Kendall, Jean Seberg, Setsuka Hara, Lillian Gish ... I might have to make it at least 25 then !
[more on all these at labels]
I still have to see Falconetti in THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC, 1924 - that may be the best of all...
