to rule the silver screen
she’s out to died practice with rosy
cheeks and everything
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actresses from the United Kingdom you
sir what kind of sick game are you
playing I’m fighting off Cuba oh my god
your face for this list we’ve looked at
female actors from the United Kingdom
who have garnered international fame and
success these are the greatest of all
time so there are no era specific
boundaries
your highness Beach you’ve made a
mistake up one following hey it let me
go when you get big up and the brand
name number 10 Tilda Swinton green dude
I’m not I’m happy we begin with a
Scottish actress of mainstream
superstardom and arthouse Fame excellent
excellent attitude throughout her career
Tilda Swinton’s been able to flicker
between blockbuster movies and edgy
films with apparent ease and clear
excellence and you are accepted the
social boy well I could see one day
becoming Prince of Narnia maybe you can
she’s probably best known for her role
as the white witch in The Chronicles of
Narnia but with a part as the eponymous
Orlando she confirmed her indie
credentials I find no evidence of that
sentiment in your conversation she’s an
Oscar winner as well having picked up
the statuette for her supporting role in
2007’s
Michael Clayton this conversation is
over number nine Dame Julie Andrews with
a Sound of Music
it’s impossible to think of 60 cinema
and not to have Julie Andrews in the
forefront of your mind an Oscar for Mary
Poppins and a Golden Globe for The Sound
of Music have ensured that her name is
etched on many a best actress list
before now yeah
Andy a female deer ray a drop of Golden
Sun her bouncing between genders and
victor/victoria
shouldn’t be forgotten either although
Andrews will forever be most remembered
for her role as the magical musical miss
Poppins or a spoof sugar helps the
medicine go down the medicine go down
medicine go down number 8 Dame Helen
Mirren I haven’t forgotten anything in
terms of British actresses that are
still active today Helen Mirren’s a name
that first comes to mind and with good
reason
most will never marry
she’s garnered a reputation for
Shakespearean classical and period
dramas throughout her career although
her sharp tongue and sassiness have led
her to less highbrow roles – you’ll have
to go back up ma’am or I’ll have to
treat you as a threat
like is the threat Dame Helen has also
played three British Queens charlotte of
mecklenburg-strelitz in the madness of
King George the eponymous role in the
Elizabeth the first TV series and
Elizabeth the second in the Queen she’s
British through and through and through
that’s keeping touch yes let’s
number seven Vanessa Redgrave I’m
finishing my play didn’t you get my
letter a prolific actress who first
found fame in London’s West End Vanessa
Redgrave has starred in over 80 movies
and achieved almost all that is possible
within the world of acting are you like
all my subjects shall have the free use
of your conscience and I have mine my
god she has on her mantelpiece an Oscar
two Emmys and a Tony Award shining out
amongst various other trophies
statuettes and medals Wow this is a
dopey conversation Arthur Miller and
Tennessee Williams described her as the
greatest living actress of our times and
we are not about to disagree it is my
destiny and it is your destiny Elizabeth
to kill me number 6
Audrey Hepburn hey baby what’s going on
here oh she’s one part cinematic icon
one part fashion icon one part
humanitarian and all parts legendary
lady that was a shrewd observation
Audrey Hepburn remains one of the most
famous names to have lived in the 20th
century and she came to be so through
her sheer talent and personality and I
got here we’re a couple of no-name slobs
we belong to nobody and nobody belongs
to us we don’t even belong to each other
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is Hepburn
standout movie and it’s little black
dress is her standout look good night
however Roman Holiday brought her an
Academy Award a Golden Globe and a BAFTA
in just one performance Hepburn had it
all and she really knew what to do with
it say hey you know you were great back
there you weren’t so bad yourself
number five Dame Elizabeth Taylor
I am Isis I am worshipped by millions
who believe it with Liz Taylor it’s as
much about her character as it is about
her career she I got the world by the
tail there’s no doubt that she was a
fine actress and her performances and
Butterfield 8 and Who’s Afraid of
Virginia Woolf proved that point
perfectly Who’s Afraid of Virginia but
Taylor was as terrific off screen as she
was on it ha ha ha she married eight
times over the course of her life
including twice to Richard Burton he
told me I was beautiful she amounted a
150 million dollar jewelry collection
and she was a well-known humanitarian
activist she certainly lived a life I’m
loud and I’m Volga and I wear the pants
in the house because somebody’s got to
but I am NOT a monster I’m not number 4
Dame Maggie Smith what would have
happened if I had not appeared in the
glamorous world of film and TV awards
there are very few which Dame Maggie
Smith hasn’t won she has two Oscars five
BAFTAs three Emmys three Golden Globes
and a Tony tour name that was bloody
brilliant oh thank you for that
assessment mr. Weasley big screen small
screen or on stage she dominates them
all and she hasn’t wilted with age
either if she has one authentic shade of
evidence just one let her bring it forth
as Jean Brodie she played out a
career-defining role but as Professor
McGonagall she will be remembered by
even the youngest generation of
moviegoers today she is an all-round
wonderful actress and woman my granny
your romantic I’ve been called many
things but never there number three Emma
Thompson oh thank you so much what a
lovely thought thank you
she’s a classical actress but she’s also
a comedic one Emma Thompson began her
career at Cambridge University where she
became the first female member of the
fame
funny footlights troupe right it done
Roger deaf doctor for her first film she
starred opposite Jeff Goldblum in the
rom-com the tall guy that was while
before changing direction perfecting her
diction and assuming roles that were
more traditionally romantic hands in
love that’s what I need to know but
Thompson’s portrayal of Margaret
Schlegel and Howards End was her
crowning Academy awarding glory
tomorrow Helen goes to generally yes

End
number two Kate Winslet I expect to get
what I want this actress has made it to
second place on our list before even
making it to her forties you don’t have
the power to upset me you don’t matter

achieved more in her relatively short
career than most can expect in a
lifetime of acting you’re really nice oh

actor to receive five Oscar nominations

youngest actor to receive six I can’t
