33. FRANK SINATRA
The Manchurian Candidate (1962)

Sinatra was 46 when he made John Frankenheimer's political thriller, and his tired eyes and lined face are starkly visible in the service of a character with a badly damaged psyche. Though he excelled in light Rat Pack fare, Sinatra could also project an almost existential exhaustion. He's so good that you can't imagine any other actor saying the film's last lines (''Hell...hell...'') with the same anguished conviction.
