Answer 2

Ooooh I love this question! It seems these days everyone no one remembers or appreciates true acting icons.

I absolutely love Charlie Chaplin, he was a comedic genius and a fantastic actor. Haven't seen a lot of Humphrey Bogart's movies but he's a legend, and the ones I've seen he's fantastic in. My sister is obsessed with Gregory Peck and I love him too - great actor and so attractive. And Marilyn Monroe is very funny - I love her in Some Like It Hot and the Seven Year Itch.

Back to the Future is one of my all-time favorite movies, Michael J. Fox was adorable in that, haha. and I love most of the modern actors you listed. But my favorite on this list would definitely have to be Audrey Hepburn. She's my favorite actress of all time - elegant, poised, resilient, kind-hearted, charismatic.. People say "So and so is the new Audrey Hepburn," but as far as I'm concerned there will NEVER be another like Miss Hepburn - she truly is a legend and icon. =)
