I’m not talking about Bob Hope and Milton Berle. Those guys are real living legends. I’m talking about people still giving it a go at things. My list even includes a few who have only recently crossed over into the category of legends (it’s gotta start somewhere)

8 Dustin Hoffman
9 Julia Roberts
10 Paul Newman

Harvey Keitel - I think he has the best filmography of any actor.
When I used to play the Kevin Bacon Game, my favorite challenge of all time was linking Harvey Keitel’s penis to Kevin Bacon WITHOUT using Harvey Keitel. It wasn’t very hard.

Anthony Hopkins
Yahoo Serious (okay, he’s here as a sorbet, to clear the palette)

Meryl Streep
Shirley McClaine
Robert Downey, Jr. (yes, you heard me correctly)

Robert DeNiro
Al Pacino
Jodie Foster
Willem Dafoe
Shirley Maclaine
