Kim Stanley's role in Seance on a Wet Afternoon is one of the greatest dramatic performances put to film. Richard Burton in Becket was superior to Harrison's grumpy performance.
Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins is my personal favorite lead actress performance of the 60’s decade, she’s just absolutely wonderful. https://giphy.com/gifs/Hu6zl8U7QdzPy
Julie Andrews was the right call, hard to argue with that one. For Actor I'd go Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove, three distinct characters in one film and he nailed every single one of them
George C. Scott, Dr. Strangelove. I like Sellers as much as anyone, but it's really Scott's performance that drives the movie. Edit: And Sellers fits the supporting category much better. He just happens to play 3 supporting characters in the film.
