Are there any universally liked actors/actresses?

[Rafter]

Yes, indeed, Ms. Thora. How could we all have forgotten, and how could anybody dislike, the incomparable JEJ?:eusa_doh: :eusa_doh: :eusa_doh:

It's called over-exposure. I detest the once great JEJ, ever since he did the Verizon commercials. I guess money is the route of all evil!

Burt Lancaster.

Glenn Ford.

Lassie.

I can agree with Lassie. Lassie never raised a leg on anyone. Bonzo did ok too.

Luckily Verizon has a limited reach.

He'll always be my Professor Banks.

Ace, on the other hand ..

Oh, that reminds me of Asta. Who could hate a dog that drinks more than WC Fields.

Even more limited when the sum of your TV-watching is A&E, History and the news channels, and even those you rarely watch.lol

I always think "Admiral Greer" from the Jack Ryan movies, myself. The kinda guy I'd wanna work for, the kinda boss I'd wanna be.

I will admit to finding it a bit irksome when I hear rather well known actors snagging voice work which used to be a foot in the door to show business for some, but if you ever decide to forgive JEJ, I recommend either "A Family Thing" with Robert Duvall, or "Cry the Beloved Country" with Richard Harris. His performances are stellar, and if you're in the place for it, they'll warm your heart.

Has anybody mentioned Morgan Freeman? You have to love him!

 

[jamespowers]

Pete the pup.

Petie! Sure. Now there was talent.

No, but I was going to .. He's one of the most adorable sincere men in the world.

Of course, sometimes an actor gets blackballed and has to take whatever gig he can get, especially with how petty modern Hollywood can be.

Another ditto on Freeman, I'd say he and JEJ are two of a kind though.

The entire "Our Gang"!

BTW, Stymie's trademark bowler was actually one of comedian Stan Laurel's hats which accounts for it's oversize.

Dickie Moore, second from the right, and next to Spanky, is the only survivor of this group and is married to Jane Powell!

 

[jazzzbaby]

Hmmm...I would think Sidney Poitier

Jerry Tucker, third from the left, was still alive when I spoke to him and his wife in March. I never knew that about Stan Laurel's hat. They were recycling even then!

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Wasn't Jimmy Durante very well liked? I've only heard good things about him!

 

[HadleyH]

Pete the pup.

Yes!!!! Pete the pup

and Rin-Tin-Tin, and Lassie and Taco Bell Dog, the little chihuahua Flipper the dolphin was a well liked actor too, and of course Skippy the kangaroo :eusa_clap


Of the human kind, everybody liked Clark Gable, and certainly Charlon Heston in all those biblical roles was well appreciated.
Ladies of the screen the one and only Marion Davies, eveybody lked her.

 

[Diamondback]

How 'bout the real star of Top Gun--the mighty Tomcat?

 

[LadyStardust]

Great choices everybody!
I thought of another one too.

Surely no one wants to argue against him, right?

 

[K.D. Lightner]

Not only that, but I am ashamed that I left him off my list of all time great character actors. Was not Casablanca enough? Or Mr. Skeffington?

Thanks for including him, love him in every role he played.
