James Dean. Could you have guessed? Lol.

BTW, everyone hates "conspiracy theories" but bear with me.

There are only two known witnesses to his deadly crash. Both gave 'testimony' that he was not driving. His driver was behind the wheel. I've listed to their audio recordings myself. They're probably still on the internet. There's of course a possibility they've been censored ie deleted.

The myth of him driving his chariot recklessly to death was too good to pass up.

My second favorite male star is Marlon Brando. His dominant sexual persona, sensuality, vulnerability, and virtuosity as an actor put him in a class by himself.

Fun fact about Marlon Brando-- he started his career in soft porn.

Third favorite actor-- Richard Burton. His intellectual gifts as a stage actor had few equals an no real rivals. He translated this gift to film and combined it with a certain kind sutelty along with virtuosity beyond measure (virtuosity being a quality he shared with the two others on my list).

His body of work is incredible. I also highly recommend his interviews about his alcohol addiction.

YMMV and probably will.

Next up-- my favorite female actors.

Coming to a platform near you.

Virtually guaranteed to be "held over a second big week" as they used to say.

That list will be controversial unlike this one. I don't doubt it.

Lol.

I've always been partial to Gregory Peck.

I'll have to think about whether there are two others that rise above the large pool of wonderful actors of past and present.

My favorite female actors.

1. Elizabeth Taylor, far and away my favorite.

2. Madonna. Madonna? Yes, Madonna. This would/ will take an entire post to explain. I'm not up to it at the moment.

3. Meryl Streep.
