I would put:
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Stephen Seagal
Tom Cruise
Sylvester Stallone
John Travolta
Ahead of most on this list, with Travolta at #1 and Stallone at #2.
Stallone didn’t catch a lucky break.
HE MADE ONE.
He wrote an underdog film called “Rocky” and used it as his starring vehicle. He literally printed his own ticket to stardom.
“John Travolta”
Whaaaat? You are on crack! His portrayal as Vinnie Barbarino was probably the single greatest gift to humanity that any single individual could possibly make.
Katherine Hepburn, terrible actress. They built films around her.
Meryl Streep. No matter what role she plays, she over acts it.
A surprisingly good actress, singer and dancer, and I didn’t expect it, was Marylyn Monroe in Diamonds are a Girls best friend.
