Great list!!
2. Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard
3. Elizabeth Taylor in Suddenly, Last Summer
Glad to see Judy close to the top, where she should be. I loved June Allyson in The Glenn Miller Story. Good list! :)
In Dark Victory, which was a very early movie for her, she totally stole that movie from everyone else.
