It's a Wonderful Night for Oscar!

who will become a classic....

We all have our faves but who will be remembered as a classic actor in the future. Today we have Audrey, and Gene and Cary....but which actors today are deserving enough to be awarded such a title as "classic". In my opinion I think Meryl Streep will definatly be remembered as one of the greatest actresses of all time. Sean Penn has made a name for himself, and then there are the women who have been around forever, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench and so on and so forth. And for a question within a question...just because I am curious....Do you think an actress or actor has to die to become a classic? Just wanted the opinion of a few experts.
