Greatest Movie Actors And Actresses Of All Time
Awards season will be here before you know it, and while some will be at home gleefully watching their favorite thespians accept top honors in their categories nominated, other will be left wondering why the person they were rooting for walked away empty handed.
The conversation regarding the best actors and actresses
continues from year to year. With the legendary talent that continues to
entertain audiences for decades, for some it's easy to determine whose
legacy will extend far beyond their lifespan.
Using the longevity of their careers along with the total
numbers of movies starred in, a new study from the University of Turin came
up with an arguably definitive list of the top 20 actors and actresses of
all time.
1-Natalie Portman is one of the youngest on the list.
One of the youngest actresses on the list, the Israeli-born
leading lady has a knack for picking roles that challenge her. From playing
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in a 2016 biopic to a talented but obsessive
ballerina in 2010's "Black Swan," both roles earned her an Oscar nomination.
However, she ultimately accepted the Academy Award for the role of Nina
Sayers in "Black Swan."
2- Sigourney Weaver has been a legend for years.
Sigourney Weaver's career has followed her through generations
of fans, with boomers likening her work to 1988's "Gorillas in the Mist" and
millennials remembering her for her portrayal of Warden Louise Walker in
2003's "Holes."
3- Cameron Diaz was the movie star of the late 1900s and early 2000s.
Her last cinematic feature came in 2014, so it has been a while since
fans have seen her grace the big screens. However, there's no denying that
Cameron Diaz was the late 1990s, early 2000's movie star.
Whether
she lent her voice to play Princess Fiona in "Shrek" or starred alongside
Ben Stiller in "There's Something About Mary," if you're missing her on the
big screen, there's plenty of her past work to keep you company.
4- Steve Buscemi has acted and directed.
Steve Buscemi has a successful Hollywood career, with notable
acts including "Armageddon" and "Reservoir Dogs." The Emmy Award winner
joins a fraternity of several actors who have tried their hands in a
director's chair, his most recent project being 2007's "Interview."
