Sundar, is that gin + grapefruit juice, or the two separately? I am curious because my consumption of non-water liquids is about 40% gin/tonic and 50% grapefruit juice (10% Guinness -- I only drink things that start with G?), so your answer struck me as in very good taste.

Gin + grapefruit juice. Like vodka + orange juice. Better for you than tonic, you know.

Well, in practice actresses and actors do fundamentally different things, just like female and male tennis players. The overlap between the performances of two actresses is much greater than the overlap between the performances of an actress and an actor. But yeah, I should've put Maggie ahead of Denzel.

liz - if i didnt separate out male/female actors, then i would have listed no men, and that wouldn't have been very sporting. actually, it's more cuz i just copied the list that cj made and started filling in the blanks. i don't really think it's that big of a deal but you can lay into me and rip me a new one if you'd like. :-)
