[The3rdHiltonSister]

Marilyn Monroe was number 6!!!!!

[001Broadway]

This is what 20th century was all about! Hollywood and films were the greatest invention of 20th century! Those actors and actresses each have their own BIG, BIG tombstones on the cemetery of popculture. They were ALL beyond WONDERFUL! No human being will ever shine in such glory again! I am proud that I live in time when we have movies and can be a part of that. Thanks and HELLO to all movie and classic hollywood fans!

BTW, my favourite is Montgomery Clift

[001Broadway]

This is what 20th century was all about! Hollywood and the film were the greatest invention of 20th century.  Those stars were WONDERFUL! Never again will any human being shine in such glory!!!

This is so beautiful. Such class, sophistication, and all those great stars of classic cinema. Sadly, so many of these great artists are with our Lord in heaven now but thanks to film, DVD, VHS, and, of course, YouTube they will live on forever and shine in our hearts eternilly.

[myrnaloysboy]

[xoxclaudia101xox]

the minute they show bogie at the end, i get all tearful. he is the greatest

[srnabo]

oh my god!!!! This is so nostalgic!!!! There are no actors like these now a days!!!! These were'nt only actors they were legends, and true profesionals

[slimpanther33]

Whoa now... what about Deniro, Pacino, Daniel Day Lewis...guys are living legends.

[srnabo]

Off course there are exceptions (including the one you mentioned) but you have to admit most "actors" we see today, can't compare to the talent, the glamour and iconic images, of the legends shown in this clip!!!!

[slimpanther33]

True. Today its all about special effects. Movies used to be all about the performances.

[xoxclaudia101xox]

i know its such a shame because then the rubbish that comes out today overshadows some of the rare good stuff that comes out as well

[MacNair]

This list had a cut off year. The people in it had to have been in a movie on or before 1950. That way the list would focus on just the old legends of Hollywood.

[rosajg]

the song it's beautiful and the clip it's amazing...i cried when i saw it years ago...

[xoxclaudia101xox]

great vid, but a shame they didnt use more film clips and a better song
