[RCMerchant]

Ok...I'm gonna get on the band wagon with the "100" thing too! It's kinda fun!

The thing here is...well...B movie actors and actresses! The people who went above and beyond to give us great performances in crappy films!  (As in the previous lists...kinda wanna limit one to a post....)

I will start with...uh...hmmmmmmmm...OH!

1. BELA LUGOSI! (didn't see that coming,eh,  )

The man was phenomanel. Even during the succsess of DRACULA, MURDERS in the RUE MORGUE, and his Universal classics,he still had the time to do great tripe like The PHANTOM CREEPS, the MYSTERIOUS MR.WONG and  DEATH KISS. And All those PRC and Monogram films...plus his stint with Ed Wood! A trouper!
the PHANTOM CREEPS ....

WE MADE IT!!!! 

[JaseSF]

2. JOHN AGAR: highly entertaining in some of strangest and weirdest films of all time. Few could play over the top like Agar. His credits include THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS, THE MOLE PEOPLE, JOURNEY TO THE SEVENTH PLANET, DAUGHTER OF DR. JEKYLL, TARANTULA, ZONTAR THE THING FROM VENUS, CURSE OF THE SWAMP CREATURE and WOMEN OF THE PREHISTORIC PLANET.

GREAT CHOICE!  I agree 100%! What would the 50's have been without John Agar?

Trivia Time: In the 1976 KING KONG big budget travesty, he played the Mayor of New York! ( I would vote for him!)

[JJ80]

A few more - Kenneth Tobey;
                  Morris Ankrum;
                  Faith Domerque;
                  Audie Murphy;

I don't wanna be anal retentive...but I kinda wanna do this one by one. All great  suggestions though...can you pick one for #3?

(I like how when I typed the # all I had to do was release  the button and remove my finger to type in 3...how many times does that happen?...so fantastic!)

Those are ALL great choices...but I kinda want to limit one to a post...it just kind of makes it easier, and more fun for everyone else....

[JJ80]

Sorry I got carried away!

#4. Richard Johnson, star of The Haunting, Fulci's Zombie (1980), The Monster Club, and Screamers (1979).

[RCMerchant]

Sorry I got carried away!

Iz awright! Getting Carried Away is my middle name ! (Dam my parents!)   

Sooo who do you pick out of the four choices? 

[Patient7]

I'm surprised nobody has nominated him yet even though we're only 5 in but...

5.  Bruce Campbell

[JJ80]

I think we'll go with Audie Murphy for the slot. A highly decorated war hero who became a prolific star of numerous 'B-Westerns' of varying quality as well as a few 'A' pictures such as "The Unforgiven" and "The Red Badge Of Courage".

Audey Murphey is a great choice...one of the first "non"-actors to make it in the movie biz! 

[Allhallowsday]

TOM ATKINS?

#6. I'll go with the immortal Linnea Quigley (she's been on my mind lately  ):



Star of THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS, among others.  And who can forget the "lipstick trick" from NIGHT OFTHE DEMONS---the most innoative use of a scream queen's nipples in modern exploitation history?

Audie Murphy is a from my hometown of Greenville - well, actually, Greenville, Celeste, and Farmersville all claim him - but Greenville is the county seat, and we have a museum dedicated to him with a 16 foot bronze statue out front.  Inside you can see his uniform, medals, movie memorabilia, and the instrument panel of the plane he was flying in when a crash took his life all too soon.

28 major decorations for valor from four countries . . . but he hated to be called a hero.  He said the real heroes were the guys who never made it back.

I saw that movie a few days ago, that scene is quite disturbing if I do say so myself.
