The greatest actress today does not exist except in your mind

You'd have to define what makes one actress better than another. Can we go by the Academy awards? No because people pick favorites instead of the work -- well some do. The actors award is better because their peers choose - same with the Director's guild but there is still favorites.

Too much of this industry is who you know and who you blow to get the part because some actors like Keanu Reeves can't act his way out of matrix paper bag and he's managed to become a big star.

Cate is a very good actress who I have followed since her wonderful performance in the sorely overlooked "Oscar and Lucinda." Also starring Ralph Fiennes in one of his better works and Geoffrey Rush excellently narrating.

I can't fault you here for your choice - but best is impossible since many actresses have done some terrific and varied work.

I would very much like to see what the recent British best TV actress winner for the new Dr. Who, Billie Piper can do when she breaks into films. She is already the number one selling female pop star in the history of Britain and she dumped to act and she is far better as an actress than she is as a singer. Very few television efforts generate emotion and she has done in England.

I would also like to see more of Sophia Myles.

I would also like to see Jodie Foster get into something better than she has been selecting of late.
