I see what you mean, BE. I, myself, have Bill Holden on my list; and if I could add several others from the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, I'd probably add Fredric March (also on your list), Walter Brennan, Thomas Mitchell, Lionel Barrymore and Lee J. Cobb.

I agonized over including several of these names -- Ashley, Grant, Julie Harris, Heckart, especially Clayburgh and Weaver -- on account of their work in soaps. Apart from Clayburgh and Weaver, however, these women came to the genre after enjoying storied careers in theatre, films and prime time television. So, yes, Vix, you CAN include Julianne Moore. ;)

She was phenomenal. I'm an actor and the first few times I saw her, I was so riveted because she was behaving like me onstage years before I'd ever acted... she beat me to my own punch, I wasn't so much an original as a kindred spirit. I love her, probably because I see myself in her, as vain as it sounds.

    • I love that Colby can hold her own with TMG! Leslie vs Kat for the win lol 
    • June's a mess. She thinks Jacob is hot. First Hayley stole your moms man and her potential sister might steal yours!  
    • When it comes to nuTed I'm not going to dwell on it but he isn't for me. The voice, the look and the low energy is not working for me. Maurice had a commanding presence and I don't see this actor ever matching that. I know he'll stick around so I'm just going to focus on the other characters in the story going forward. Another thing I gotta say is that I am at my wits end with Derek. I don't wanna hear about this mediocre white man with his shirt off. He could be butt naked and it won't change that he is absolutely one of the worst actors who has ever been on contract in soap history. To see his performance today when we have our first recast really made me want to snap. The show needs to be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves for keeping this guy around. He has less talent than Charity Rahmer. At least with her there was a comedic value but Derek gives nothing.
    • The actress playing Stephanie seems more passive and indecisive than the previous two actresses that played Stephanie.  Shayna's Stephanie had a lot of spirit and a more daredevil attitude.. while Shelley's Stephanie had this stoic confidence where she seemed like a pushover, but would push back if provoked (i.e. her interactions with Melanie). I do hope that Paula/Jeanne figure out how to write to the strengths of the current actress playing Stephanie and also play her more in scenes with Patch/Kayla where they have heart to heart talks and also delve into the father/daughter dynamics with Patch.  The previous two Stephanie's kind of had Patch's temperament while this Stephanie doesn't seem to have either Patch nor Kayla's temperaments.   
    • Kat dear, Leslie is unhinged, why would your mind jump to Eva being the one who ran Laura off the road?? lol
    • Eva and Leslie in similar shades of green (depending on how the lighting hits)
    • Belle gives new meaning to being a whole dicktimized bird. Good god I thought Ciara was bad when it came to Serial Killer Ben but she ani't got nothing on Isabella when it comes to EJ. The self-righteous smugness is off the charts & I'm need someone to knock her off her pedestal. This hoe ani't got too brain cells to rub together. My girl wasn't salutatorian in HS to be acting like she ani't got the good sense that god gave her. I don't buy she is in love with rapey Elvis she is in love with dick that ani't her husband. She is one of those type of chicks who comes up missing or dead cause she's infatuated with a monster & think she is good enough to change them. Lord make it end There isn't enough dick in the world to be acting like a whole sanctimonious trash bag.
