Diane Keaton Hall should be Number 7 and Rob Reiner should be Number 6. And I’m a huge Diane Keaton Hall fan. I would also include Gene Hackman over somebody else for his acting skills.

I'm not much of a movie guy and broke out in hives for having to put on so many celluloid heros. Hackman was on the bubble.

I see celluloid stars as both teachers and advocates, who only become heroes, if they have the courage to help others, while elevating their craft in the process. Through the entertainment outlets (e.g., movies, television, concerts, and theatre), actors, writers, directors, and producers teach us about human behavior - attraction, conflict, invention, injustice, and fraud. They are often advocates for the arts, for humanity, and for political action. Articulating their favorite causes often gets them adulation and contempt.

Gene Hackman as Number 15.
