Katharine wins but Audrey is gorgeous and was GREAT in Charade and even better in Wait Until Dark
 
If you're saying she's the best actress of all time and the "GOAT" with De Niro then yes shes definitely overrated. I've seen her in:

1. Little Women
2. Adams Rib
3. Guess Who's Coming For Dinner
4. Rooster Cogburn
5. The Glass Menagerie

Im always open to check out some of her better movies so hit me with a few and ill check them out when I get around to it.

The AFI list Audrey at #3 on their list of best actresses of all time which has more merit than "shes not top 20"

Is Katharine one of the best actresses? Of course. Is she the best? Nope. Not to me.
African Queen is a must watch
 
Only someone who sounds poor would make this thread

I had this pic hanging inside my gear locker when I was in the Navy; hope that answers TS' question
 
As an actress, I may go with Katharine here.

She dated Howard Hughes (who didn't back then?).

I believe that she was also the love of Spencer Tracy's life (in real life).

Kate had a huge trail of ensorcelled men behind her. John Ford, too, who directed her in the criminally underrated Mary of Scotland. And yes, she and Tracy met on the film Woman of the Year in 1942 playing characters who meet and fall in love, and in the process met and fell in love and spent the next 25 years together and made 9 total films together until Tracy's death in 1967.

Katharine wins but Audrey is gorgeous

I'm picking on you to vent this, even though others have said it or stuff like it: For me, Audrey was cute while Kate was beautiful. Audrey had a girlish thing about her (though too often for me she looked like a little anorexic boy) but Kate was a woman, and a beautiful woman at that. Kate in Holiday in that black dress, she was a fucking stunner. And I think it was Selznick who said about her famous cheekbones that they were "the greatest calcium deposits since the white cliffs of Dover." Part of what makes Mary of Scotland such an incredible film is that Ford always had a great cinematic eye and he was so captivated by Hepburn's beauty that he shot her stunning beauty stunningly in gorgeous black-and-white.

I never thought Kate was so much of a beauty. But I think it also comes down to their personality styles on screen and which type of woman you find yourself attracted to. They often differed
