Donna Reed in "From Here to Eternity" and Shirley Jones in "Elmer Gantry" could have easily been included here. But they are more supporting roles and so I opted no. Yul Brynner in "The King and I"? I don't think so. Spencer Tracy in Boy's Town" and Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday" are probably deserving but, hey, I had to narrow it down a tad. If anybody can think of something that I missed..........

Will,
You overlooked Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. One of the...
Excuse me? It didn't?
Never mind.
How about Lea Thompson in "Howard the Duck"???
One of my all time favs...
Jus sayin.
Excellent suggestions gentlemen. As for Ms. Thompson, in particular, Volt, all I can say to that is reeeeooooow!!
Did you miss Rush dancing to music by Lady Gaga? Now that is talent...
Did you see the lady patting him down into his seat? Like there there now , have a seat...remember your bad heart...that's a good boy, That's going to be funny forever.
My suspicion, Teeluck, has always been that Rush is probably not all that nimble on his feet. His skills are clearly those of a provacatuer.
I forgot Bette Davis in "Jezebel". Please, feel free to insert her somewhere into top dozen or so.
