Oh there are great actors of even today as well.
Just think of people like Jack Nicholson,(The Shining,One flew over the cuckoo's nest,just to name a few of his) Morgan Freeman (Shawshank redemption was one of my all time movies)
Brad Pitt (A few of his: A river runs through it, Troy, Legends of the fall)
I know there's going to be some that are/maybe intimidated by Brad Pitt and will cast disparaging remarks about him but I give him credit were it is due. He is a very talented actor. In my opinion he is a lot like Robert Redford of days gone by.
I know there is a lot more out there but my mind is tired today and I'm sure others will be by to post some of their favorites as well.

I really miss William Holden. Great actor.
Gene Hackman is now retired. He was my favorite.
