    Ooooh, a tough one :) However, there was one of the matches where I didn't like either of them and I didn't know who to vote for... hahahah. That never happened before :P

    The funny thing that struck me looking at this list is how much more I like all the actors in the 1930s and 1940s brackets more than these actors. Heh. I guess the '50s aren't my era. And I chose opposite of the majority on a lot of these. Definitely some great pics, though!

    Well you know where I am on this one...William Holden all the way!!! LOVE that man!! He makes my heart pound!!! And he's not just gorgeous...I think he was a very good actor too. Not the best, of course, as that, for me, is James Cagney, but one of the best.

    Hope you're feeling better!!

    Burt Lancaster against Dean Martin is really unfair. :D Same for Charleton Heston/Frank Sinatra. :D
