[Actors who could "steal the show" in a supporting role.]

Couldn't agree more about Thelma Ritter. She stole scenes from Bette Davis which isn't easy to do. For actors I would say two totally different types but who both fit the category. George Sanders and Strother Martin. Both always made their presence felt in whatever they did. I adored both of them but Sanders always made me swoon. Can't say that about Martin.
