Question of the Day — 8/4/05

Issue: Simpson "Dukes" it out: Pop culture phenom makes movie debut Friday/Cincinnati Post

DFO: Yesterday, Cis Gors mentioned to me that her husband, Ken, doesn't like to watch any movies unless the actors and actresses are now dead. In other words, he likes the old stuff. And I can't blame him. Who's out there besides Sean Connery, Robert DeNiro and a handful of others that can hold a candle to Bogart and Bacall, Clark Gable, Brando, Dietrich, etc. Simpson?

Question: Do any female actresses of today have the stature of the greats of yesteryear?

Feedback: Meryl Streep always brings class to her work. Of the more recent stars, I enjoy Laura Linney, Hillary Swank, Kate Winslet, and Cate Blanchett. They all have talent, style, and class -- Family Phil.
