Re: What is your Favourite Actor from each era??? Before 1940's: N/A
The Golden Years: N/A
New Hollywood: Harrison Ford maybe, but it's really a default choice since I haven't seen quite enough films from this era, but I enjoyed American Graffiti and l like Star Wars. And Tim Curry only has RHPS, so.
1980-2000: Johnny Depp/Whoopi Goldberg
2000-Present: Johnny Depp/Helena Bonham Carter

Re: What is your Favourite Actor from each era??? Just because you love men doesn't mean you have to hate women.

Re: What is your Favourite Actor from each era??? I think it's your self-hatred that you're projecting onto those who love men, in this case, women, that lead you to make that comment.
