You said about Gabrielle Anwar, "Her role in The Three Musketeers (1993) as a seductress of sorts, on the other hand, wasted her talent." I'm wondering if you might be confusing her with Rebecca De Mornay's character. Gabrielle played Queen Anne, and "seductress" would be the last word I would use to describe her as she's rather quiet and timid as the young queen.

Maybe it's because I just watched the 40th Anniversary Mary Poppins, but I can't help but think that the "almost" list should have included Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber (who also appeared together in The Three Lives of Thomasina and The Gnome-Mobile) - kids who were not only cute but had that "something" (especially Dotrice - imagine MP with two UNlikeable kids)... and certainly David Tomlinson, who not only made Mr. Banks the fulcrum of Mary Poppins, but showed his range by being the hissable villain in the Love Bug and the charming song and dance man in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. And I wondered where Kurt Russell was too. :)

Haley Mills in the top spot was no surprise, but I was glad to see my favorite, Dean Jones, score so highly. Also, I'm a Brian Keith fan, so thanks again.

7	basil fan Tue 1/24/2006 2:44p	I can't get over how eternal teen Kurt Russel played the dad in Sky High. That alone made him worth a mention. The Perfect Collectible http://www.whatsitsgalore.com/ disney/collectible.html
8	Jim Thu 1/26/2006 10:37a	Thanks for reading, everyone. It's been so many years since seeing THE THREE MUSKETEERS, but I thought I remembered that she was one who seduced Chris O'Donnell? Like I said, it's been awhile. I never really cared for that movie. It's funny, but Kurt Russel doesn't register with me as a strong Disney star. Obviously, he's been in a plethora of Disney movies, but I think his two strongest performances were in two films I admired greatly--MIRACLE and SKY HIGH. To me, a lot of his earlier roles get lost in muddle of the Disney of the 1970s.

10	Jim Thu 1/26/2006 1:49p	Now I know why the charms of Kurt Russell passed me by but no one else. :)
