    It's a lot harder for me to list, say, 20 great actresses v. listing 20 great actors.
    Not sure why that is. I guess more interesting roles are written for men.
    Anyway, just thinking about it, what other actress was more accomplished? (accomplished being a more objective term than greatest).

    She was the greatest. The one injustice

    visited on her was the lack of Oscar for the greatest love story ever filmed. Grace Kelley won one that year for a movie that did not deserve any awards.

    They paid her back with an EMBARASSING award for On Golden Pond. SHe deserved four Oscars, but not one for THAT movie.

    She should have gotten the Oscar for African Queen with Humphrey Bogart.

    Is it too much to ask you to specify the kelly and hepburn movies you are talking about?

    I don't begrudge Grace Kelly any award.

    African Queen was truly a great movie. It is as timeless as Butch Cassidy and better than even The Princess Bride.
