Ok. But it’s a bit dated
Virginia Mayo & Gene Hackman.
Oh, my age! I recognize EVERY name on that list and almost no names of recent articles on TV and movies. Reminds me of mother bemoaning the death of a favorite actress I’d never heard of.
Walter brennan
Clint Eastwood
No Fatty Arbuckle??
How can Clara Bow’s name not be on the list??
Cretans!
No. It’s really more hat the quality is bad now. Comparatively
There are some good stars you would know who were born after 1945
For some strange reason, the grand kids got about 5 names in and lost interest in the whole topic.
No Jayne Mansfield? I hear she had some big breasts.
(Seinfeld reference)
1. Ronald Reagan.
End of list.
1. John Wayne
Not even a huge fan but he’s the biggest star Hollywood ever had.
Heckuva list, but apparently no living person qualified for inclusion?
He’s #13 on the list.
Doris Day and Donna Reed are missing.
Joan Crawford is overrated.
Why is John Wayne only number 13?
The Marx brothers - really? And not Stan Laurel or Oliver Hardy?
Whoopi Goldberg. A Huge omission.😉
