Who is the most popular film star? Then, if you can, list the other nine.
Do not look it up!
After we have given it our best shot, I'll let you know what I found.
Ok, edgar. Now can you list the ones you might think are in the top 10?
I can't make such a list. I no longer know the names of most of the current stars, or if I do know the names I can't identify their films.
edgar, you may be surprised to know that all those chosen are not just current actors/actresses.
This era:
Tom Cruise
Brad Pitt
Colin Farrell
Johnny Dep
Past eras:
John Wayne
Gregory Peck
Harrison Ford
Arnold Scwartzenegger
Clark Cable
(Toss up whether to put Harrison Ford as current era or past era).
Heh! Heh! Mr. Wizard, not bad for a novice.
Julia Roberts
Jennifer Aniston
Hey, Canada. You're half right!
Female stars:
Current era:
Julia Roberts, of course.
Reese Whitherspoon
Nicole Kidman
Angelina Jolie
Cate Blanchett
Past eras:
Bette Davis
Lana Turner
Marilyn Monroe
Elizabeth Taylor
Ava Gardner
Ok, here's a hint:
Over 1000 adults were interviewed. The poll even depicted a cross section of democrats and republicans.
That's a peculiar poll -- the IMDbPro database gives a much larger representation of a pretty good cross section of demography. 1000 adults is not too impressive, especially if they all all urbane adults. Knowing who Republicans voted for and who Democrats voted for is perhaps obvious. I'm anxious to see the poll and who took it.
You're right, Mr. Wizard. Not an impressive sampling...but the poll was NOT just urbane folk...
ok flo, here goes but as I am back in my 2nd childhood, I might be shade out of date

Well, I see the Brat is back...The guy from J. Arthur Rank? Oak, you be funnnneee.
I always wondered if the was a logo for J. Arthur Rank or Wesson Oil.
I always enjoy referring to a bad film as a Rank Production.
. You're gonna be surprised. Another clue. No.1 made a very controversial movie recently.
Mel Gibson
John Wayne
Jack Nicholson
Jimmy Stewart
Mel Gibson is my final answer!
