There are leading or character actresses in your world. No grey areas? So, how many lead roles does an actress need to have before she changes categories? Is the Pacino character in Godfather the same personality type as the cop in "Serpico" or the cop in "Cruising?"
How about DeNiro in Godfather, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Heat? Same guy, different roles?
I'd say not.
My point about your comparing Hepburn to MG was that Hepburn's supreme talent overcame her modest looks: MG is homely so she must stand on talent alone which, in my opinion, is shaky.
Bette Davis, I always thought, immensely was attractive. I can't think of a more animal sexuality than she projected in "Of Human Bondage." You may wish to note how beautifully she filled that tight dress, too. The young Bette had a divine figure, an hourglass.
I don't have a spare two or three hours to refute the rest; they're the same argumentative stuff like what I just eviscerated.
