The list, produced by the American Film Institute, deliberately excluded modern stars.
Cary Grant was number two on the list of greatest male actors, followed by James Stewart, Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire, Henry Fonda, and Clark Gable. Only four on the men's list - Brando, Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas and Sidney Poitier - are still alive.
Miss Hepburn, 92, was followed by Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Like the men, most of the female stars are now no longer with us. Alongside Katharine Hepburn, only Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Shirley Temple and Sophia Loren are still alive.
"For a guy who didn't think of acting as a competitive sport, he would have been honored and awestruck by this," Bogart's son Stephen said.

Last summer, the American Film Institute named what it considered to be the 100 best American movies. Citizen Kane topped that list, followed by Casablanca, The Godfather, Gone With the Wind, and Lawrence of Arabia.
The AFI was prepared for criticism of its choices. "We expect that sort of thing again. Someone will find fault," AFI chairman Tom Pollock said. "Lists by their nature create controversy because of who is on them and who is left off them."
