My Favorite or Most Admired Comedy Actors in Movies

My Favorite or Most Admired Comedy Actors in Movies http://www.imdb.com/list/hgrzOq5WhVk/ Comedians devise their own personae. Comedy actors interpret roles. In practise, the dividing line between the categories of comedians and comedy actors is permeable. Were Marie Dressler, Mae West, Charolotte Greenwood, James Barton, Lucille Ball, Reginald Gardiner, Bette Midler, Peter Sellers, Woody Allen and Dudley Moore comedians or comedy actors? Caveat: The first 10 on my list are in my order of admiration. As for the other 90, my ranking could change from day to day.
