8 Best Actresses of Old Hollywood

Hollywood
has been going on as the peak of showbusiness for quite a long time
now, so it gets kind of easy to forget which amazing stars it has
produced in the past.

And
because we care about you guys (we really do), we’ll give you a
quick reminder of some of the best actresses Hollywood has produced
in the olden days.

Elizabeth
Taylor

The
only real Cleopatra of the sixties, Elizabeth kept on acting until
she was almost 70 years old! The number of iconic roles she’s had
are hard to sum up in one article, but her IMDB page should probably
lead you to a few “oh, that was her!” moments.

Katherine
Hepburn

No
relationship to Audrey Hepburn, for the record. She played her last
role in 1994, at which point she was already 87 years old. She had
her biggest moments of fame in the fifties and sixties, playing in
movies like The Lion In Winter
and The African Queen.

Bette
Davis

All
About Eve, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?, Dark Victory,
… Bette Davis has a career spanning over 5 decades in the movie
business. Her final movie actually released in the year she passed
away, at which time she was aged 81 years old!

Marilyn
Monroe

There’s
few things left to say about Marilyn Monroe, since she’s pretty
much never left the media since her rise to fame. She was an actress,
model, sex symbol and pretty much the “it” girl of her time.

Audrey
Hepburn

Audrey’s
most famous role was probably the one in Breakfast
At Tiffany’s, but she mostly managed
to make an impact because of her unique looks and style. Even today,
people still look to her for inspiration.

Judy
Garland

Yes,
this is in fact the one and only Dorothy from The
Wizard of Oz. We don’t really need to
mention anything else to prove that she was important to Hollywood,
right? The movie was made 80 years ago and everyone still knows about
it.

Grace
Kelly

Grace
Kelly has made quite a legacy for herself, partially because she
sadly passed away at the early age of 52. She starred in movies like
To Catch a Thief and Dial M For Murder, which are still good movies
by modern standards.

Ingrid
Bergman

Probably best known for her role in Casablanca, this Swedish actress was a lovely beauty from Hollywood’s Golden Era. She played in many big name movies in the fourties, like Spellbound and Notorious. She also had a role in Murder on the Orient Express, which was 30 years later.
