I have always been in love with films as long as I can remember. There are so many beautiful and wonderful actresses who have successful and hardworking careers. There are several others that I love watching including Lucille Ball, Betty White, Queen Latifah, Ashley Judd, Claire Danes, Tina Fey, Christina Applegate, and many more. However, as I had to narrow it down to just 10, these are the ladies I love and have enjoyed watching the most. Hope you enjoy.
10. Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten did a great job as Claudia in Interview with the Vampire. She was 12 years old and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in that movie. She also starred in some other of my favorites such as such as Jumanji with Robin Williams, Bring It On, Spider-Man, and Elizabethtown.
9. Kate Winslet
Kate starred in one of my most favorite moves ever as Rose in Titanic. Her and Leo (Jack) did a fantastic job working together in bringing that film and real story to life. Titanic is still the second highest grossing film ever. Other great performances I loved from Kate were in Finding Neverland with Johnny Depp, The Holiday, and again with Leo in Revolutionary Road. Kate has been nominated 6 times for an Oscar and won 1 for Best Actress in The Reader as well as winning 2 Golden Globes.
8. Maggie Smith
What a remarkable actress. Maggie has been one of the most distinguished actresses ever. I loved her in Hook as Wendy with Robin Williams and in Sister Act as Mother Superior with Whoopi Goldberg. And she was absolutely brilliant in the Harry Potter Series as Professor McGonagall. Maggie Smith has been nominated 6 times for an Oscar, winning 2 for Best Actress and also 3 Golden Globes.

Reese started out acting at a young age. Her brilliant performance in The Man in the Moon is breath taking. Other favorite Witherspoon films for me are Pleasantville, Cruel Intentions, Election, Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama, Walk the Line, Four Christmases, and Water for Elephants. Reese has been nominated 1 time for an Oscar and winning Best Actress for Walk The Line. She also has won 1 Golden Globe.

She does a beautiful job as Wednesday Adams in The Addams Family, Kat in Casper, Roberta in Now and Then, Val in 200 Cigarettes, Katrina with Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow, and Rae in Black Snake Moan with Justin Timberlake. Christina has been nominated for 1 Golden Globe.

My favorite Julia films are of course Steel Magnolias, her remarkable role as Vivian in Pretty Woman, Sleeping with the Enemy, Tinkerbell in Hook, The Pelican Brief, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Stepmom, Runaway Bride, and Erin Brockovich.

2. Whoopi Goldberg
I adore Whoopi Goldberg. All of her films that I love are movies that I can watch over and over. Her phenomenal job in The Color Purple, Ghost, and in Sister Act. I loved her role as Guinan throughout the Star Trek: The Next Generation series and films, her animated voice in The Lion King, as well her entertaining roles in Corrina, Corrina, Boys on the Side, The Associate, Girl, Interrupted, Rat Race, and Call Me Claus. Whoopi has been nominated for 2 Oscars and won 1 for Best Supporting Role in Ghost. She was nominated for 3 Golden Globes winning two of them for The Color Purple and Ghost.
1. Sandra Bullock
What a woman! Who doesn’t absolutely adore Sandra Bullock? She is one of those actresses you laugh with and one that you cry with. She is an actress that emotionally attaches you to the character she plays and takes you along for the ride throughout each of her films. My favorite Sandra films are Speed, While You Were Sleeping, The Net, A Time to Kill, her role as Birdee in Hope Floats, her beautiful role as Sally in Practical Magic, 28 Days, Miss Congeniality, The Lake House, The Proposal, The Blind Side, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, and one of the most hilarious films ever The Heat. She has been nominated for 1 Oscar winning for Best Actress in The Blind Side. She has been nominated for 4 Golden Globes winning 1 for The Blind Side.
