As with my list of actors, I left off my favourite actresses whose fame is due mostly to television (Diana Rigg, Elizabeth Montgomery). I also left off the adorable Thelma Todd, whose fame is primarily due to her short subjects. This is a list dedicated to actresses who starred in feature films. For those of you who are sensitive about such things, I must also apologise about the preponderance of cheesecake, but then I am a guy!
Anyhow, if you have a film blog or pop culture blog, and you wouldn't mind doing such a list, then consider yourself tagged.

YAY! Great list!!!
I absolutely LOVE how your top three is my top three reversed!
Really great choices!
And of course only Kate minds that you put a photo of Ty in! ;-D
Jane Fonda & Julie Christie!! I'm dying to see Petulia, it's been in my Netflix queue for ages and I keep forgetting to send the disc I have at home back :)
I love your list! I think Elizabeth Montgomery would have been on mine, too, if I included television stars, she's wonderful! :)
Love the picture of Audrey! Marilyn is down at number 19 but at least she made the list :-)
You've got my three top favorites (Carole Lombard, Myrna Loy, Barbara Stanwyck) on your list, and several others of yours would make my top 20 as well.
