    Hey Dan….not surprised she has not been on the list…just not enough movies. It is surprising that she has not starred with anybody in the Top 15…but she seems to be acting more these days…so I am sure as she progresses to the grandmother roles that will happen. Good to see John Huston heading up the second list….I have always loved his “persona”….and can so easily hear his voice in my head. Single digit Oscar winning co-stars….that does not happen too often. Good stuff as always.
