Greatest Actor of Every Decade

Choose who you believe is the greatest and most successful actor, actress, director, writer, composer, and cinematographer of each cinema decade. Do not necessarily vote for the most person who had the best single performance, movie, score, or photographic work; do this in "Best Performance of Every Decade".
