From shadowkat67, a meme.

1. Name 10 favorite actors you'd see in anything:

• Cary Grant
• Humphrey Bogart
• Ving Rhames
• William Holden
• Steve Buscemi
• George Clooney
• Bruce Campbell
• Don Cheadle
• Peter Sellers
• Richard Pryor

(Of course, this list is suspect, because for all actors other than Cary Grant there pretty much exist a whole ton of movies I haven't/wouldn't see them in. Of course, I should point out that I am doing this meme more in the spirit of posting something rather than giving it the benefit of too much serious introspection.)

2. Name 10 favorite actresses you'd see in anything:

• Katherine Hepburn
• Lauren Bacall
• Reese Witherspoon
• Michelle Pfieffer
• Kirsten Dunst
• Angela Bassett
• Charisma Carpenter
• Catherine Zeta Jones
• Selma Hayak
• Elizabeth Hurley

(Of course, this list is suspect, because especially near the end where I get into the sexy brunettes I may not be listing based on actual talent.)

(The amount of television I have watched seems to have affected my ability to count.)
