I won't stop anyone from mentioning deceased artists. So let's extend it to

Contemporary actors/actresses

All-time actors/actresses

We may see a few contemporary on the all-time list as well.

Well, I've read that she is sick of all the fuss that is associated with being famous. Apparently she has made up her mind but I guess she won't be pursuing her Hollywood career any further. Anyways I'd be happy to see her in some more films.

I was hoping they wouldn't be mutually exclusive. I was going to nominate Linda Lovelace but I didnt want to give away my taste in movies.
