Last December, we hosted a Greatest Stars of the 1940s poll and had so much fun that we've produced a sequel. Unlike many sequels, we hope this one is as good as the original!As we've written in this blog before, the 1950s was an intriguing decade for cinema. The biggest stars of the 1940s were still going strong--even as a whole new generation of classic stars emerged. International performers also gained widespread attention, to the extent that Hollywood "imported" some of them (e.g., Sophia Loren).
Once again, we've tried to compile a comprehensive list of the biggest stars for our online ballot. However, it's always possible that we inadvertently omitted a major star. If so, then please use the write-in portion of the ballot to add the missing name(s).

Please remember that you can only vote for a total of 10 stars (you're on the honor system). We will keep the ballot open until May 30th. In advance, we thank you for voting!
Yikes - you left Elizabeth Taylor off the list!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know...and I feel awful. Some folks did include her as a write-in candidate. I tried to add her now, but that won't work. Liz's fans will have to mount a write-in campaign!
DeleteThis was tough! I love these polls, but boy oh boy! Narrowing this list down to 10 is challenging.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun!
So hard to choose just 10, in the end I whittled it down to my favourites who may not necessarily be be the 'Greatest'. Add an extra absentee vote for Elizabeth Taylor for me too. I'd already pressed the vote button before I realized she wasn't on the list.
ReplyDeleteAlso interesting that in the last '40's' poll I chose mainly men but in this one it was mainly women.
Liz will get another vote! For me, I had to make tougher choices than in the 1940s poll.
