There's a meme going around where bloggers are supposed to name their 20 favorite actresses. I decided to use the TV test - If I'm flipping stations and I catch a glimpse of an actress, do I stop to watch the movie?
In no particular order they are:

- Judy Garland
- Audrey Hepburn
- Ingrid Bergman
- Jessica Lange
- Meryl Streep
- Judi Dench
- Maggie Smith
- Myrna Loy
- Helen Mirren
- Peggy Ashcroft
- Emma Thompson
- Judy Holiday
- Doris Day
- Grace Kelly
- Vivien Leigh
- Katherine Grayson
- Bette Davis
- Greta Garbo
