Simply the Most Wonderful, Beautiful Human Being There Ever Was or Ever Will Be.
CRT's rating:
All the Strong Women Characters on the Screen today owe a tremendous debt to Barbara Stanwyck. Over a 30 year career she played the gambit between women strong in the face of adversity, and women in complete control (and loving it).
CRT's rating:
The total package. Great Dancer, Wonderful Actress, Face like an angel. Probably the closest thing we had to Audrey Hepburn before Audrey Hepburn.
CRT's rating:
Her legendary pairing with William Powell gave her the nickname "The Perfect Wife". Her screen career got her another "The Queen of Hollywood". Both are accurate.
CRT's rating:
The Queen of Screwball. Simply one of the funniest people (if not the funniest ever) in front of a camera, ever. One can only imagine if we had her a while longer, what we'd have in her body of work. Alfred Hitchcock would have immortalized her.
CRT's rating:
Her look was unmistakable and iconically unique. Radiant smile and Almond shaped, large, deep eyes. Most well known as the female lead in "It Happened One Night" but overlooked for her tremendous comedic talent otherwise, in addition to just being an overall incredible talent over all.
CRT's rating:
Her ability to play even small supporting roles in a standout fashion made it so she could have a career that not only extended from the Jazz Singer to Star Wars, but allowed her to act besides nearly every great in the book.
CRT's rating:
The fact that Miriam Hopkins was better than her kept Bette Davis up at night. She said it, not me.
CRT's rating:
One of the screen's best purely comedic actresses. Everything about her, from her looks to her voice, was unique, but made her perfect for underrated masterpieces like "Talk of the Town" and "The More the Merrier".
CRT's rating:
There is ONLY Louise Brooks. Whoever said that was exactly right. Anyone who has seen her work knows it's true. Screenwriter Diablo Cody has referred to her as "Marilyn Monroe for Nerds".
CRT's rating:
Tragically only remembered now for bizarre melodramatic operas, this Philly girl was enormously talented, gorgeous as could be, and funny as all hell. Thank you Ernst Lubitsch.

So, you just hit my top three in your three lists, Blanchett, Blunt, and now Hepburn. She was amazing, I wish she could have lived forever! I like the rest of the list, too.
