The history of film is filled with iconic performances: Marlon Brando in The Godfather, Meryl Streep across decades of acclaimed roles, Audrey Hepburn's elegance, and Heath Ledger's transformative Joker. Great actors can make audiences laugh, cry, and feel deeply. Some have defined entire eras of cinema; others are celebrated for a single unforgettable role.
