BEST OF 2008: GLOBAL STARS -- ELIZABETH BANKS AND KATE WINSLET THE SMARTEST WOMEN IN MOVIES



An appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is the official barometer to tell if a star is truly a star in every sense of the word.

Two women whom I saw on Jay Leno who easily are the smartest and brightest actresses of their generation are Kate Winslet and Elizabeth Banks. Both women appeared on Jay Leno's show (on different occasions) and they are both eloquent, have unsurpassed sense of humor, don't take themselves too seriously (TRANSLATION: feet firmly planted on the ground!) and -- MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL! -- can tell the studio audience a good story!
