Great choices, especially Cary Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace, Sally Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky, Eartha Kitt in The Emperor's New Groove (very original and wise choice!), and obviously Katharine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story and Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire (his best performance in my opinion!).
