I don't care for Tom Hanks, nor do I care for Emma Stone. Blasphemy I know...

Which male and female movie icons - past or present - leave you cold?

I despise John Wayne. Don’t care for James Stewart, either.

But why don’t you like Tom Hanks ?
@rinkydinkydoink My best friend just told me she knew Tom Hanks when he attended Skyline High School, where she went (Oakland, CA).She said he was always a really good guy.
@bijouxbroussard

A confession - I knew you liked him. A lot.

Maybe I should've chosen Mickey Rooney 🤭
@rinkydinkydoink Well, I know he was said to be complicated. Eight ex-wives can’t be wrong !

I know you won't agree, but you asked for this. And what the hell's wrong with Jimmy Stewart?

@rinkydinkydoink I didn't remember the name. I had to look him up. I recognized his face in a bunch of old TV shows.
@Gibbon

There were others who, when I see them in a movie, I remember reading about their WW2 experiences... off the top of my head, I believe Eddie Albert fought on a Normandy beach.

EDIT - Wrong! He fought in the Pacific Theater - Tarawa Beach.

"Served as a landing craft pilot and lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Reserve.Piloted boats under heavy fire to rescue 47 wounded Marines stranded off the reef at Tarawa.Awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his extreme bravery and valor."

EDIT #2 -

@rinkydinkydoink There's a whole slew of actors who are veterans.

Not a huge Hanks fan at all. Marlon Brando bores the hell out of me. I've always felt Bette Davis couldn't act, she just over-emoted everything. Probably others that aren't coming to mind right now.
@ChipmunkErnie

About Brando - gonna repeat myself for the umpteenth time (not here but elsewhere) : he couldn't do romance or comedy imho. Do you agree?

@rinkydinkydoink I never got into mumbles at all.
