Have you seen Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits? She's very good there too.
Great choices.
I love Tilda Swinton. Her Benjamin Button performance is amazing though too often forgotten (though that could be said about most of her performances!)
Don't forget Imelda Staunton's funny work as the loyal maid in Shakespeare in Love!
Nice to see Portman up here! And wow for Angela Bassett, great to see her in your top 50, she has sort of disappeared of circulation as of late.
Simon: Check! Just added it my Netflix queue... considering it's one of her most high-profile performances, I should probably educate myself... :)
Robert: I agree with Tilda in Button. She was one my choices for Best Supporting Actress that year actually. That scene in the hotel lobby was kinda pitch-perfect.
Jude: Oh no! You're right. A glaring omission. :)
Castor: She has - I'm still holding out that post-ER she's going to make a film comeback. She's an actress who needs some Oscar love...
