AFI’s 100 Years...100 Stars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Part of the AFI 100 Years... series, AFI’s 100 Years...100 Stars is a list of the top 50 greatest screen legends in American film history, which included 25 male and 25 female stars. The list was unveiled by the American Film Institute on June 15, 1999 CBS special hosted by Shirley Temple, with 50 current actors making the presentations.

As of 2013, of the fifty stars listed, only five are still alive: two men (Sidney Poitier and Kirk Douglas), and three women (Shirley Temple, Lauren Bacall, and Sophia Loren). At the time the list was unveiled Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando and Gregory Peck were also still living.

Neither you nor I will be around 100 years from now and no one will say “I sure would like to see a Kirk Douglas movie,” but they’ll still be enjoying “For a Few Dollars More.”

Tango Sierra for you and your legend.
