Boy do I ever agree with 6-9. And I'll raise you a Cher
.
to add Sandra Bullock to the list!
.
and I hope I've misspelled her name toowhere did she come from? i remember her in one of the Dirty Harry flics...
I litterally can't stand the sight of her...and won't watch anything she's in or might appear in...
the horror!
what is there some kind of lesbian mafia that forces hollywood to employ her?
That's the spirit! Actresses whose appearance and/or "craft" is so reprehensible they can instantly kill a movie for me. They offend my sensibilities on so many levels. As for Tine Dayley (I'll misspell her name, too; she should only fork off) she's the daughter of James Daly an actor who played a doctor in a TV series with Chad Everett. I can't recall the name of the show. She's an amorphous blob and I run from the room at top speed.
I was starting to think that I was the only guy in the world who can't stand this woman. How the hell does she keep getting work?"Watch me ACT! I'm ACTING! I'm making a SPEECH! I've got my ACTING eyes on!"
Good GOD make her go away!!!!

let me clear up the confusion:the definition of "can't act and never will" is Bo Derick. That's not a sin, everybody knows it, including her, so she doesn't even try.
and even though Bo is not my type--she may be unattractive in that cold, weird way Ursula Undress (the whore from before) was, and far from sexy...but she's not ugly...
TD clearly works at her incompetence, but it's her natural gift that sends me screaming out of the room--that nagging voice is bad enough, but the quintessential evil of the Meddusa is what tortures me...
why oh God, why me?
the world is full of ugly people, some of them quite beautiful, compeling even
but this?
the horror!
the horror!
a vivid image of Jack Torrance(Nicholson)breaking in the door with
an axe in "The Shining" flashes before me! Wonder if I have homicidal
impulses? - AH

If the idiots behind Sex In the City would read my letters and make Mrs. Mark Levinson the central character, then may be I'd watch it. ;-)Actually, if SJP left the show, I'd sit with my wife to watch it more.

And she's a pretty decent actress, too, or she wouldn't be cast in the many good roles she's had (and bad ones too, mind you). Anyways, she "does it" for me :-)
1. Dolly Parton
2. Glenn Close
3. Jody Foster
4. Helen Hunt
5. Barbra Striesand
6. Liv Tyler
7. Sissy Spacek
8. Pamela Anderson
9. Madonna
10. "Shannen Doherty--her bilaterally asymmetric face drives me nuts." I would definatly agree with TAFKA on this one.

$100 to $1000 for a ticket to see her in concert here a few years ago.I don't think so.
I've seen her twice in concert and worth every penny! As far as her acting prowess, take a look @ The Way We Were, Funny Girl (won the Oscar) and Nuts then tell me she can't act.
I wasn't implying she can't act or sing entirely...just that no one deserves to charge $1k for front row seats to their concert. Perhaps if the price included a two-night stay at the Townsend Hotel right next to Bab's room along with backstage passes....well...maybe it's worth it. But for $1k front row seats and $100 nose-bleed seats, I think it's absurd and deserving to be on this list - even if she can act. ;-)I guess my main point is that she's overrated, IMHO.

A good list, even if I don't totally agree.Mine:
1. Pamela Anderson-Lee (total vacuum, lack of talent*infinity-cubed)
2. Yasmin Bleeth (see above)
3. Carmen Electra (see above)
4. Elvira
5. Madonna
6. Janet Jackson
7. Whoever the hell plays the mom on The Parkers
8. Elizabeth Taylor (the most overrated actress of all-time)
9. Melanie Griffith (I liked her in Working Girl but everything else she's done is incredibly annoying.)
10.(tie) Roseanne
10.(tie) Rosie
see her promise in "National Velvet" and the full flower of her brilliance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf".Her acting with Richard Burton in "Woolf" is so good I'm not even sure that it's acting.
She's had lots of very bad roles with horrible scripts and direction, but you can't deny that she's one of the all-time best.
rent Virginia Woolf and tell me again that you think she's no good.
scares the shit out of me!
if you don't get goosebumps watching her work that character, you can't be human.
She's made a few good films. I think she was really good in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, which, except for VIRGINIA WOLFE is the last decent movie she's made. She started out fine and slowly devolved into a pathetic cliche.She is worth about 40 bazillion Pam Anderson's, however. And yes, I know that is damning her with faint praise.
Gotta agree with the assessment of WAOVW. Taylor in that flick is simply astounding! In Cat on a Hot Tin Roof she is feminine sexuality personified.
I totally agree. WAOVW is a stunning, inspired film and the tension between Taylor and Burton is still palpable even after 35 years. It's as if Albee wrote the play with them in mind and I can't picture any other actors in those roles. I ran it last week and it blows me away every time. A masterpiece. She also had capital knockers in "Butterfield 8".
.
Demi Moore--Attack of the Implants. Glad to hear that Bruce has moved up and is now dating Alisha Klass, the porno queen of anal G-spot sex.Kim Basinger--seems to always be uncomfortable and hesitant on camera; still can't figure out how she got that Oscar.
The Arquette Sisters--take your pick.
Melanie Griffith--last year's retrospective of her work at the Cannes Film Festival was awfully thin.
Catherine Zeta-Jones--so beautiful I almost don't notice that she's about as expressive as a ball peen hammer.
Famke Janssen--ditto.
Fairuza Baulk--my favorite skank.
Milla Jovovich--better as a musician.
Rebecca Pidgeon--ditto.
Denise Richards--awful, but better than Pidgeon.
Shannen Doherty--her bilaterally asymmetric face drives me nuts.
Janine Turner (TV's Northern Exposure, "Cliffhanger")--just plain embarassing.
Good list. I like David Mamet but won't be looking at anything if Pidgeon's in it. I'll add that Elizabeth Bracco (Lorraine's sister?) from "Mystery Train". Just hideous.
I love Clint Eastwood movies, but after watching Sudden Impact over and over the woman really gives me the creaps!
She was super-wooden there, but don't you think she was a looker in the Gauntlet?I'd say - keep her for now...
it would have been nice if Jose had been a bit too late to save her from the mescaleros
She was living with Eastwood (can you say "palimony"?) and he threw a lot of work her way. Didn't all his movies that she was in tank? Sure, she was attractive early on but just started looking hard and creepy like Ellen Barkin.
Interesting list.1. Madonna
2. Mariah Carrey
3. Carmen Elecktra
4. Pam AndersonPretty much anything skanky...
...can you say "over exposed".And take that shrimp of an ex-husband with you, please.

A local radio station was quoted as saying after Tom's Top Gun came out (all those years ago and off topic, but hey...) that "TC had to hire a stunt guy to do all the hard parts in the movie- like act!"

A couple with a combined IQ of 50 - so befitting of Hollywood it is almost anti-climatic.
Pretty good list. I like McDowell, and Sobieski is just picking bad films. I find her more palatible than many other actresses her age. I'd throw Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan on the list--I cannot stand either of them.
Mostly agreed but I like Andie McDowell. Let her live and wipe out Meryl Streep. Streep is constantly in depressing, slow films. No chance I'll see her again until she does a musical.Regards
Steve
