Search found 1 match: Joan Crawford

These are some performers who help improve my impression of most any movie they appear in (this is based mostly on charisma or physical presence, but acting skills sometimes help):

Paul Newman (sometimes he overacts, but he has real charm)
Raquel Welch (she lacks charisma or acting skills most of the time, but that physical presence...!)
Sharon Tate (beautiful)
Ann-Margret (a fireball of charisma and sex appeal)
Brigitte Bardot (a lovely ornament)
Jeanne Moreau (not pretty, exactly, but she exudes sexuality and presence)
Joan Crawford (sometimes I just can't stop watching this woman)
Barbara Stanwyck (what a little spitfire)
Gena Rowlands (I'm both annoyed and mesmerized by her)
Giulietta Masina (she turns Nights of Cabiria into one of the most enchanting movies I've ever seen)
Bill Murray (always happy to see him)
Alec Baldwin (he seems to be a combination of arrogant asshole and lovable wiseass)
Uschi Digard (it's too bad that she didn't have a lot of speaking roles in her movies, becuase she's likable even without considering her enormous bosom)


SPECIAL HONORABLE MENTION:
Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirsl!!! - Her performance is like the 8th Wonder of the World. I don't care how bad her acting is, she gets an A++ for effort.
