    It sure is cool to have Elvis on there!

    Sinatra is a cool winner though, he sure did some very good dramatic roles, war movies, detectives.

    Good choice for a winner in this list!

    I agree Wendy. Seeing the likes of Madonna on such a list for acting talent makes me take such a list practical.
