Results for you Favorite Movie Star EverFirst of all I want to thank everyone who voted in any or all of the rounds here. The winners as chosen by the group would not have been my selections, but when asked to name a "favorite" there are no right or wrong answers. It all comes down to personal taste.
On the Actors side I think my personal favorites would have come down to Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood. I know there are many better actors than both of them. Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, The Duke, Pacino, DeNiro are but a few of the many actors who have made many films I have enjoyed greatly. For the females my choice would have been Katherine Hepburn. Her range of films and the length of her career are unmatched. From screwball comedies such as Bringing Up Baby to The Lion In Winter she did it all as well as any female that has ever appeared on the Silver Screen. Now here are the results of the voters: Finals: 1)Tom Hanks 16 vs. 2)Harrison Ford 11 1)Jodie Foster 16 vs. 14)Meryl Streep 11 I should be posting a new topic in a few days and any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again. I wonder what topic I will pick next. Posted on: September 22, 2008 6:08 pm

Quarterfinals for you Favorite Movie Stars EverWell it is time to begin the voting for round 3. We had a few upsets again, and the match ups look even tougher this round. Not all of the voting went the way I hoped or expected. We did have less voting in this round and as close as some the battles were I wonder how different the results might have been with the same turnout as last week.
As always first here are the results from round 2 with my comments that I hope you find at least a little bit amusing and or entertaining. 1)Tom Hanks 23 vs. 17)Cary Grant 8 Forrest Gump defeats Mr. Lucky. This would have been a very tough match up for me to vote on as I really enjoy both their work. Grant was great in such a wide range of roles from Hitchcokc thrillers to screwball comedies. 2)Harrison Ford 24 vs. 18)Dustin Hoffman 7 Dr. Jones, Hans Solo and Jack Ryan way too much for the Rain Man and Tootsie 3)Denzel Washington 21 vs. 19)Gene Hackman 10 Just like in Crimson Tide Denzel comes out on top in this match up. 4)Paul Newman 17 vs. 13)Mel Gibson 14 William Wallace's cries of Freedom go for naught against Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy 5)Al Pacino 18 vs. 12)Jimmy Stewart 13 Oscar winner for playing a Colonel beats real life General in a battle of 2 true superstars 6)Robert DeNiro 23 vs. 11)Robert Redford 8 Crazed Taxi Driver takes the Sundance Kid for a long ride 7)Jack Nicholson 19 vs. 10)Sean Connery 12 Jack might be the only man as cool as 007 as Bond goes down. 8)Clint Eastwood 14 vs. 9)Morgan Freeman 17 I guess it takes God to take down Clint as he did too good a job directing his good buddy. Actresses: 1)Jodie Foster 25 vs. 16)Demi Moore 6 Clarice defeats G.I. Jane easily 2)Julia Roberts 23 vs. 15)Rita Hayworth 8 Erin Brockovich defeats Shawshank poster girl 3)Sophia Loren 13 vs. 14)Meryl Streep 18 Incredible actress beats legendary Italian beauty 4)Sandra Bullock 15 vs. 13)Marilyn Monroe 14 Speed kills this legendary beauty instead of a overdose this time. 5)Katherine Hepburn 20 vs. 12)Audrey Hepburn 10 Katherine the Great defeats her adorable namesake 6)Angelina Jolie 18 vs. 11)Renee Zwelleger 13 Mrs. Smith takes out Bridget Jones 7)Susan Sarandan 15 vs. 10)Julie Andrews 16 Mary Poppins eeks out a win over the Minor League's most famous groupie 8)Halle Berry 13 vs. 9)Elizabeth Taylor 17 La Liz adds the lovely Ms. Berry to her list of victims including her too numerous to count ex husbands. Here are the match ups for the Quarterfinals. Man are some of these tough. 1)Tom Hanks vs. 9)Morgan Freeman 2)Harrison Ford vs. 7)Jack Nicholson 3)Denzel Washington vs. 6)Robert DeNiro 4)Paul Newman vs. 5)Al Pacino Actresses: 1)Jodie Foster vs. 9)Elizabeth Taylor 2)Julia Roberts vs. 10)Julie Andrews 6)Angelina Jolie vs. 14)Meryl Streep 4)Sandra Bullock vs. 5)Katherine Hepburn Voting for this round will close at 11 PM EST on this coming Sunday. Please try and remember to rate your fellow posters as I am sure they will do the same for you. As usual I will only vote in the case of any ties. Thanks again. Posted on: September 2, 2008 11:42 pm

Maureen O'Hara, Myrna Loy, Drew Barrymore, Sally Field, "Hanoi" Jane Fonda etc. are missing from from the woman's draw. At least Ben Afleck and J. Lo didn't make it in. I was surprised that Scarlett Jo and the Jessica's Biel and Alba did not get in.

Vote For Your Favorite Movie Stars Ever Round 1Well first I want to thank everyone who nominated actors and actresses to be included in these brackets.
Enough of them received multiple votes for me to include 64 in each bracket. 128 Actors and Actresses were mentioned. I had to make the choice for the last few entrants into the bracket from among those who each received two votes. I was very surprised by how few votes some got compared to others. The seeding is based on the number of initial mentions everyone got. When multiples had the same number of mentions I did make the decisions on where to rank them among each other. This was done based on a variety of factors including the length of their careers. I will also be commenting on those who didn't make it that I thought were deserving. I will not be voting unless there are ties. Please remember that the choices made are those of the group and not mine, well at least in most cases. I plan on my voicing my thoughts of each result, so please just don't blame me if you don't like those that advance. I also want to ask everyone who participates to please rate the other posts here . I am sure everyone will rate your postings also. I give everyone who is nice enough to support my efforts a 5 and usually add you to my favorites also. If I don't do that it is purely by mistake. Please excuse any misspelled names. With that said here are the first round match-ups. The number after the names is how many mentions they received in the nomination round. Actors: 1)Tom Hanks 17 vs. 64)Michael Madsen 2 2)Harrison Ford 15 vs. 63)Keifer Sutherland 2 3)Denzel Washington 14 vs.)62Ryan Phillipe 2 4)Paul Newman 13 vs. 61)Gerrard Depardieu 2 5)Al Pacino 12 vs. 60)Paul Giamatti 2 6)Robert DeNiro 12 vs. 59)Max Van Sydow 2 7)Jack Nicholson 11 vs. 58)John Malkovich 2 8)Clint Eastwood 10 vs. 57)James Colburn 2 9)Morgan Freeman 9 vs. 56)James Caan 2 10)Sean Connery 9 vs. 55)Dennis Quaid 2 11)Robert Redford 7 vs. 54)Heath Ledger 2 12)Jimmy Stewart 7 vs. 53)Matthew Damon 2 13)Mel Gibson 7 vs. 52)Matthew McConnaughy 2 14)Marlon Brando 7 vs. 51)Kevin Spacey 2 15)Russell Crowe 6 vs. 50)Leonardo DiCaprio 2 16)Henry Fonda 6 vs. 49)Burt Reynolds 2 17)Cary Grant 6 vs. 48)John Travolta 2 18)Dustin Hoffman 6 vs. 47)Anthony Quinn 19)Gene Hackman 6 vs. 46)Charles Bronson 2 20)John Wayne 5 vs. 45)Daniel Day Lewis 2 21)Humphrey Bogart 5 vs. 46)Bruce Willis 2 22)Gregory Peck 5 vs. 43)Will Smith 2 23)Robin Williams 5 vs. 42)Sidney Portier 2 24)Bill Murray 5 vs. 41)Steve McQueen 3 25)Johnny Deep 5 vs. 40)Charlton Heston 3 26)Samuel L.

About What's On My Mind
I have picked another topic that I can only hope is half as popular as the last.
Everybody loves the movies. The Stars of a long time ago remain legends and forever young on film. These actors have created memorable characters. They made you laugh, cry, scream and feel every emotion possible.
Of all those that ever appeared on the Silver Screen I want to learn who your favorites of All Time are. It will be interesting to see how the stars of yesteryear stack up to the new Kings and Queens of the movies.
