Failed presidential assassin though.

I also think Giulietta Masina should be a bit higher considering she has two of the most acclaimed performances of all time.

Well, and not much else. Either way, where would you have her?

Between Hayworth and Jackson, maybe?

Ok. Do we also want to bump Vivien Leigh even higher or #50 is enough? Speaking of somewhat similar case.

I would say yes. Looking over the list the other day, Leigh seemed low in my eyes.

I'd be fine with that.

Added Rita Moreno to the ranked list who felt like an oversight; moved Charlotte Rampling closer to the top 200 who seemed pretty underranked; moved Luise Rainer and Hilary Swank side by side to each other as their cases seem comparable (Two Academy wins but perhaps not the greatest careers otherwise); pumped the brakes on some of my earlier promotions, Anne Hathaway seems comparable to Sandra Bullock, Uma Thurman to Sharon Stone.

I'd have some space between Swank and Rainer since Rainer's wins are seen as pretty questionable nowadays.

So put her into Swank's old spot?
