Heather Tom (Katie, B&B) “Bette Davis has to go up. I just watched All About Eve again for like the 100th time and was reminded of just what an actress is. Meryl Streep has to go up. Boy-wise, let’s put Marlon Brando and Anthony Hopkins up.”

Michael Easton (Finn, GH) “I was insomniac when I was a kid and my mom used to let me stay up to watch old movies and I was very affected by Montgomery Clift, so he’d by default be on the list. I also love Paul Newman and Cate Blanchett — she’s good in everything she does and I’m always fascinated watching her — and then Daniel Day-Lewis because he’s a good Irishman.”
