Diane Keaton
Even terrible drivers can be lovable. That's the lesson I took from this great scene in "Annie Hall" featuring Diane Keaton, who just passed away.
She was in a lot of movies, and I have seen only a fraction of them. I was always thrilled when she showed up, though, because there is a way that she could convey cluelessness (ie about her own driving in the clip above) but also intense self-awareness (as in The Godfather Pt. II, where her sense of not fitting in was palpable). Sometimes, too, she would switch between the two, which was magic.
