My favorite actor of all time is James Cagney. I also think he was the best actor who has ever appeared in films. He could do comedy, drama, sing and dance, play a cold hearted gangster, a charming gangster, a bratty song and dance man, or a father who was willing to do anything to get his son back from the foster family program. My favorite film of his is Angels with Dirty Film, for which his portrayal of Rocky Sullivan, he was nominated for an Academy Award. I also really enjoy watching him in Yankee Doodle Dandy because he rarely appeared in musicals and you can just tell he was having a lot of fun in the role, for which he did win an Oscar. Who is your favorite actor or actress, is it an old star or recent star? And what movie(s) really stand out for you?

I love Audrey Hepburn. She just shines in whatever film she may be in. I love her singing voice and her dance moves... but most of all I love her heart. You see, actors are loved by people when the curtains are up, but the real measure of an actor is the person when the curtains are down. Who they are in real life is what matters, may it be that they ae superbly different from who they are onstage or on film or they remain the same. Audrey shines not only because of her talents and her beauty but also because of her heart... her heart for the children. And, entertainment industry speaking, I love her for the actress that she is, she transcended time and her memory lives on. She is truly an actress extraordinaire!

My favorite actor of all time is Cary Grant. He also could do comedy, drama, suspense, be cold and uncaring, or charming, or sinister and charming. Okay, he didn't sing or dance, but he could do a backflip. I think my favorite film of his is Penny Serenade, where he plays a husband and father of an adopted baby girl. It's a sad film, but he does so well in it. I also love Father Goose. I think it was his second to last film. It's completely different from the typical Cary Grant movie. He's unkempt, a drinker, he wears ratty clothes. It's fun. There are a lot of other movies that I like of his, too.
