Favorite Actresses

We all have favorites. People who we just love to love despiteof their credentials or filmography. Case and point: the recent love-fest for Sandra Bullock because everybody just seems to really love that girl in spite of never having turned in a performance that wowed everybody (sorry, The Blind Side.)

I've decided to list my favorite actresses. This is not a list of whom I think are the best actresses (with perhaps some overlappage), but rather a list of which actresses excite me on and off the screen. I've limited the number of actresses to fifteen, and they are actresses currently making movies. If you're reading this, please join in either in the comments or in your own blog and tell me about it so I can link to it!

Here they are...

Happy Birthday Sigourney!

Today Sigourn-gourn turns 60! Above, she's seen as her other-half, the ass-kicking female action star Ellen Ripley from the Alien series. Up next- Avatar, the new, "revolutionary" 3D spectacle from Aliens director James Cameron. Here's hoping for a second sci-fi Oscar nod for Sigourney! And to some more longevity in Hollywood, cause let's face it, who doesn't love Siogourney Weaver? She just makes everything better.
