Where is John Wayne and Gary Cooper?

Jimmy Stewart was one of the greatest actors to ever live. He always played the moral everyman role to perfection, from the 30's all the way to his final role in 1991. And his voice is one of the most iconic ones in Hollywood history. The number of times people have replicated it can't be counted.

Cary Grant and Marlon Brando are my absolute favorite classic actors. But I will say that Gene Kelly knew how to cut a rug with those moves!

This list should have been a top 15. I can’t believe Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck were honorable mentions and Sidney Poitier was not even on the list. 😢 At least everyone on the list starred in some of the best performances of that era.

LOVINGGGG these classic Hollywood lists recently! 🥰🥰🥰

Seeing Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly on this list. Love their work in Musicals.

So many left off this list: Carney, Newman Wayne and what about James Dean... an actor with only 3 movies but all 3 were great performances . I think that warrants at least an honorable mention

Tied for 1st place: Gregory Peck & Jimmy Stewart.

Sidney Poitier & William Powell, amazing actors!!❤

James Cagney, Gary Cooper, Kirk Douglas

Sucks we don't get actors like them anymore

Love these Old Hollywood videos...Good Job Ms.Mojo I agree with lot of the people on this list

Every one on this list is an icon, even long after their deaths

Here are some I would add to the list: 1) Claude Rains 2) Boris Karloff 3) James Cagney 4) Frank Sinatra 5) Kirk Douglas 6) Ronald Colman

I think Gregory Peck, Burt Lancaster and Montgomery Clift deserved more than honorable mention.

Very surprised to not see James Cagney on this list

When I was younger and would act out movie scenes by myself looking in the mirror or whatever, 90% of the time I was always Lauren Bacall, and of course my leading man was Humphrey Bogart. And you guys are right, there's just something about him. James Stewart was always a favorite of mine too

Walter Matthau! Another brilliant actor in his day.

Cary Grant's my favorite. Especially in Arsenic and Old Lace and Monkey Business.

John Wayne is an American icon and never gets the credit for how great of an actor he was. Fonda, Gable, Tracy, Grant Stewart & Bogart all deserve to be on the list. I also have gained a lot of respect for Errol Flynn. He was an incredible actor and screen presence. Cagney & Holden would be in the top 10 as well.

Should be entitled “10 of notable top 100 greatest actors”. They used a dart board and blindfold on this one. But Brando yes.
