The 10 Greatest Actresses of All Time

10 Barbara StanwyckFrom Double Indemnity to The Lady Eve, Stanwyck was a lean live wire with an alluringly husky voice.

9 Kate WinsletAt 17, Winslet wowed moviegoers as a sociopathic teen in Heavenly Creatures. She's never shied away from offbeat characters.

8 Audrey HepburnIn a world of pneumatic blondes, Hepburn made smart, complicated brunette sprites sexy in Roman Holiday and Sabrina.

7 Vivien LeighThe Gone With the Wind star made fewer than two dozen movies, but the combination of icy beauty and inner fire made her unforgettable.

6 Meryl StreepBoss from hell, Holocaust survivor, and frustrated housewife -- is there anyone Streep can't play?

5 Olivia de Havilland

Gone With the Wind made the dark-haired beauty a star, but ten years later she played a shy spinster in The Heiress.

4 Ingrid BergmanSoulful star Bergman made doomed romance look good in Casablanca and self-loathing even better in Notorious.

3 Katharine Hepburn

She made casual elegant and relocated the seat of sex appeal from the bosom to the brain in Bringing Up Baby and Adam's Rib.

2 Bette DavisShe had offbeat looks and a quirky voice, but when Davis was onscreen everyone else disappeared.

1 Marilyn MonroeGentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch, and Some Like it Hot showcased the buxom, blue-eyed blonde's comic gifts.

The 10 Greatest Actors of All Time

10 Al PacinoA bundle of urban energy, Pacino embraced bravura in such crowd-pleasers as Glengarry Glen Ross and The Devil's Advocate.

9 Dustin HoffmanHoffman broke Hollywood's blond-macho-leading-man mold in the generation-defining Graduate and (in a different way) Tootsie.

8 Humphrey BogartWorld-weary Casablanca and Maltese Falcon star Bogart was a man's man who was also loved by the ladies.

7 Spencer TracyPractical about the art of acting, Tracy was an unlikely leading man in the socially conscious drama Bad Day at Black Rock.

6 Paul NewmanNewman defiantly hitched his good looks to one slippery, startling classic after another, from The Hustler to Hud.

5 Laurence OlivierClassically trained and Hollywood handsome, Olivier approached Shakespeare with the same vigor he brought to Wuthering Heights.

4 James StewartStereotyped as an aw-shucks Everyman, Stewart brought fierce intelligence to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

3 Henry FondaFor six decades -- in The Grapes of Wrath and Fail-Safe -- Fonda was so good people stopped appreciating his talent.

2 Robert De NiroDe Niro is as mesmerizing in the low-rent Bloody Mama as he is in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas.

1 Tom HanksHe loved a mermaid (Splash) and crossed paths with history (Forrest Gump) but never lost his boy-next-door appeal.
