Warning: The software I use for polling allows for only 10 options.
[Post-publication addendum (April 17): More nominations from readers (in alphabetical order): Majel Barrett, Candace Bergen, Halle Berry, Cher [Ed.: I respectfully dissent.], Kim Delaney, Bo Derek, Joan Fontaine, Melanie Griffith, Susan Hayward, Paris Hilton, Ruby Keeler, Juliette Lewis [Ed.: I respectfully dissent.], Marsha Mason, Ali McGraw, Liza Minnelli, Ashley Olsen, Mary Kate Olsen, Molly Ringwald, Doris Roberts, Lana Turer, Virginia Weidler, Pia Zadora, and Renée Zellweger.

[Post-publication addendum (April 17): Meanwhile, don’t forget to vote in this week’s poll, posted in the sidebar at right, “Who is the most dishonest member of the Bush administration?” I know it’s hard to choose, and you really can only vote once, but try to choose among the following (in alphabetical order): John Ashcroft, George W. Bush, Elaine Chao, Dick Cheney, Scott McClellan, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld. Voting in this poll runs through Tuesday, April 20.]
