My favorite actress. I think it’s her talent, her underrated beauty, her vicious vitality. No one came close to her accomplishments when it came to actors’ rights. To me, she is the best, hands down. I have scoured the library, eBay, cable/TCM, etc. to find as many of her films as possible.  See my ranked list below.
