    I'm with everybody that said William Powell, and then, as a second choice, Cary Grant. All three of these actors had a unique charm, and they worked well together. I'm a huge fan of these actors, and I will forever be indebted to FMC and TCM for playing those marvelous old films.

        William Powell. I don't want o say that because I think it's the obvious choice for everyone, but I love them together. She did have great chemistry with Cary Grant and Clark Gable. I love the Scene in Test Pilot when Gable lands on her property. She had such wit and Sophistication. How could you not lover her?

          Tyrone Power. Their work together in the Rains Came is heart-wrenching. Especially after she realizes she's been exposed to the "plague" and will never be able to kiss him. At that very moment he has just declared his love for her! I've watched this film over 30 times and never tire of it. Powell was certainly her best teaming, but for romance it was Tyrone.

              Definitely Powell! I honestly cannot think of any two actors that had better chemistry than Bill and Minnie.
              Grant and Gable were her best non-Powell co-stars. I also liked her with Clifton Webb in Cheaper By The Dozen. I thought they had pretty good chemistry and would've liked to have seen them do some more films together.

                    I think that definetely Bill Powell. They were so amusing2000, so elegant with each other, and had this chemistry. I love them!

                        William Powell of course! I would even rank them higher than Tracy and Hepburn as far as onscreen chemistry.

                            Don't forget that she starred opposite Tyrone Power in 'The Rains Came'!
