20 Actresses…But Whose Counting?
So, about two weeks back good ol’ Flickhead tagged me with invited me to the “Twenty Actresses” meme asking for a selection of favorites, originally developed by the devilish actresexual, Nathaniel R. I’m slow to respond to a meme, but I always come through, more or less. In this case, let’s just say I have a slightly lax attitude towards the whole “twenty” business. I mean, Janet Leigh and Judy Garland absolutely had to be accomodated….
The following is not necessarily a list of all-time, absolute favorites, just twenty twentish really terrific female actors I’ve been thinking about lately. Old friends may spot at least one obvious omission, but in this list I’m only including people I think are pretty much fully and completely arrived in terms of their talent. The isn’t anyone here I think is one hair shy of being absolutely first rate, with definite extra points awarded for charisma, of course.
Presented in no order whatever.
Anyhow, I’m not sure how this happened, but as far as I can tell using Google, it appears as if FtY pal and brother in mixing film and political blogging with a love of musicals and geekery, Brian Doan has been left uninvited. No more!

Jane Darwell? Dude!
Thanks for joining in — it’s a nice assortment… and I love the shot of Janet Leigh.

Fh — What’s wrong with Jane Darwell? I’m not sure what kind of list you think this is…..
Or maybe I’m just concealing my secret four-way fantasy involving me, Ms. Darwell, Margaret Dumont, and Marjorie Main…don’t tell Pa Kettle! (Did I just think that or actually write it?)

I’m impressed by the inclusion of Allison Janney. I’d watch her in anything, yet I never even thought of her while compiling my own list.
As for your Geezer Love Tryst, you only live once!
