I think Kim Novak, Monica Vitti and Fenech would be at the top for me, but I definitely would have included Elke Sommer, too.

Koto - My own picks are based on acting chops as well, but the women above also happen to have lovely faces I enjoy watching too. Picking actresses based on one singular performance that I admired would be really tough since that list could be endless! As for Rita and Cyd, I really like them both and they're lovely, but they're not favorites. I'm afraid that Grace Kelly does absolutely nothing for me. I find her incredibly boring to watch, but I know I'm in the minority. Neil - I'm so damn sick of memes that I'm not sure I'll ever do one again, even if someone nice like Peter asks me to. Keith - I enjoyed your list as well and we share some similar favorites. This was ridiculously hard to do! Vanessa - Thanks! Eelko - This was tough. I like Tippi a lot and I think she's an underrated actress who didn't make enough good films. But my favorite Hitchcock blond is Kim Novak and she's on my list. Of course Novak was also in a lot of great films and I just adore her natural sexiness, vulnerability and style. Jim - Thanks for the suggestion! I've heard a lot of good things about <b>The Double Life of Veronique.</b> but I've never seen it. Thanks for the continued comments, everyone!

You made a fine selection. I can imagine it's difficult to choose. But what about.... Tippi Hedren?? I think she's amazing in 'The Birds' and especially 'Marnie'! I guess this is an odd choice in the view of many, but I think Hitchcock knew what he was doing casting this captivating woman! Fabulous photos indeed! You made a fine selection.

Wow! What a great list. You made some outstanding choices. Those were some beautiful pictures of those amazing women. I'm a big fan of those. I enjoyed checking out your post. I did one of those myself over at my Sugar &amp; Spice blog. I had the worse time narrowing it down to 20. There were plenty I had to leave off. Again what a fantastic list. Hey Kimberly. Wow!

So, I won't be taking up your open invitation or anyone else's (hypothetical) invitation. But your list is terrific. I can't think of many I'd choose that wouldn't be among the 28 actresses you chose or mentioned. I'm glad folks like you are here making the effort on things like this to draw some people's attention.

There are a number of women you listed that I certainly would have liked to have list if I hadn't stuck with the external and internal rules I set for myself. Ava, Ann-Margret, and Sophia were all in contention. My husband loves, loves, loves Carroll Baker, by the way.

I haven't seen <strong>Silent Partner</strong>, but I think she's great in <strong>Images</strong>. I just watched <strong>They Shoot Horses Don't They?</strong> again recently and I had forgotten how great she was in that film but I highly recommend it if you're a York fan. Peter - Personally I prefer Meiko in the <strong>Jailhouse</strong> and <strong>Stray Cat</strong> films, but I can watch her in anything and everything. Since you're not <i>really</i> a nice guy I will blow you off the next time you tag me for a meme! Tim - Thanks so much! This was incredibly hard to do and I'm still questioning some of my selections. I'm glad you enjoyed some of my less popular choices. I have yet to see Deborah Kerr on anyone else's list, but I adore her. I personally love the way Adjanai manifests madness. Her roles in <strong>Adele H.</strong>, <strong>Possession</strong> and <strong>Camille Claudel</strong> are her real defining moments for me. I'm not all that familiar with Irène Jacob's work so thanks for name dropping her. If you want to share any of her defining moments in film please do so I can search them out. I'm not sure if Hardy would make my actress list but she would undoubtedly make my my chanteuse list! On a side note, I just have to say once again that I absolutely love <strong>Cleo From 9 to 7</strong> and Corinne Marchand is lovely to watch as well. Last but not least, happy holidays to you and yours! Chris - Marissa is fabulous! I considered adding her, but much like Rachel Welch, she's more like pure eye-candy to me. So far I haven't seen her really show her acting chops. Of course some people might argue that a few of the ladies above are pure eye candy and to them I say - you clearly need to see more of their movies! Jeremy - Thanks! I'll have to give your list of 40 a lookover. I should have done a list of 40 myself, but I would have been doing this for a week and no doubt have a migraine by now. I suspect we'll share some crossover choices. Vicar - Thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you liked the list. Bacall and Neri are terrific. Clearly I think we can all agree that selecting a mere 20 out of a sea of lovely &amp; talented actresses, is just madness! Will - Susannah York is a terrific actress!

Interesting how many people are picking Isabelle Adjani -- she appeals to me, but it's hard to pick out a definitive performance. I was tempted to prepare one of these lists without getting tagged, if only to put the name and face of Irène Jacob out there, but nearly had a meltdown just wondering if Françoise Hardy qualified with her cameo in CLEO FROM 5 to 7. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, Kimberly! Keep up the sublime work!

To think for years I only knew her from <i>Superman</i>! And Mia Farrow c. <i>Rosemary's Baby</i>, when she looked "like a piece of chalk," I believe was the description. And her later work in <i>Husbands and Wives</i> is some of the greatest acting I've ever seen.
