Yes, I mean that exactly how you think.
20 Actresses? Pfft. Lemme rattle 'em off to you in quick succession. Would you like that in order of overall preference, emotional connection, range of talent, level of obsession, alphabetically… Wait. I'm sub-categorizing again; The blight upon my concise and structured methods! All right, the blight on my paltry attempts to be concise and structured.
Give me a list to create and I will have twenty new ones born from it before completing the original and while typing this I just thought about how to make THAT into another list I must be stopped someone help me and we're back.
Like any choice to be made, I see far too many options. Is the list about who I think are truly the most talented? Well, what about those with perhaps a more, confined range, that have struck gold in one or two roles that will forever stay with me? What about the gals that seem to have been playing the same character throughout their careers but dammit, I really love that character? Are there special conditions for body of work? Am I giving tenure? Don't you see, I just want to include everyone!... Ultimately, I'm about love.
Anyway. I've decided that since this mental defect can be used to create future lists – and I've clearly typed enough words for an acceptable entry – I'm going shut it up to go with the overall favorite approach. Those who combine some talent with a varied career, key roles, considerable presence, a lil fabulosity and that certain something I connect(ed) with… Along with an extra Top Ten To Watch! What?! I'm leaving out the ten honorable mentions! Cut me some slack, I am working with this brain.
In (mostly) no particular order:
... and ten to grow on:
Share any? Shocked by any? Name 'em all without hovering?
Who are your 20?... No, just 20. One addendum per blog! HA!

I'm surprised I actually knew almost all of them except Elizabeth. But since her face is partly obscured I don't feel that bad. The newbies I didn't do so well on. Think that just means I prefer the classics. :)
That you did worse with the newbies speaks highly to your character... Or perhaps it just shows your age. Either way, good on ya! ;)
Elizabeth Banks, in case ya still didn't know. If you're still not familiar, please do become so. She is worth it!
