    Even though I was very young (six) the first time I saw him, I think it was his voice. It is very memorable. He was in the movie "How the West Was Won". Ever hear of him? His name was Gregory Peck.

    John Travolta hands down lol I have been a fan since I was a little girl. To me he is such a diverse actor and long standing as well. It does not hurt that he is a good looking man with striking blue eyes :-D I own every movie he was ever in (even ones that never made it big :shock: lol)

    John Wayne. I have always loved horses and watched the westerns and of course, there was John. It was John Wayne weekend on AMC, saw lots of old movies while I was sewing.

    Jimmy Stewart -- his voice and dry wit. His starring in some of the Hitchcock thrillers are my favorite... :D

    James Cagney----sense of humor, cute, good dancer. The first movie I saw him in was Yankee Doodle Dandy. I was a teenage I think. After that when I saw the gangster ones he made, I had a difficult time believing it was the same guy. But I like all his movies now.

    You animal ladies!! - Here is MY list
    Not in any special order
    1. Robert Duvall - Any movie I see him in I love - He is SUCH a good actor!

    2. Morgan Freeman - LOVE his acting - I will see anything he is in!

    3. Anthony Quinn - he made my blood boil - he is or WAS quite a PASSIONATE man - forget about the movies - I just liked to LOOK at him???????I just don't know what he had!

    4. Pierce Brosnan - LOVED him (even with his singing voice) in Mamma Mia

    5. Robert DiNiro - when he acts, he BECOMES the role - oh! Cape Fear was one of his BESTS!

    6. I reserve the right to add on later...........

    well, I'm with stitchinwitch, you can't have JUST ONE.

    Top of my list is Paul Newman. And let me tell you, I lowered my flag to half-mast last year. But, Robert DuVal in Lonesome Dove had me sobbing, Sean Connery always has me swooming. Yep, this list ain't finished, you betcha bippy.

    Blessings,
    Ruth
