Let’s Play who’s the bigger STAR

Jennifer Aniston.

Meryl Streep or Glenn Close

Meryl

Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise? (that is a stumper)

Meryl

Matt Damon or Ben Affleck

I’ll answer R2 with Cruise, and pose the Damon/Affleck question again.

Reese has an Oscar

Regardless of box office, Meryl is a legend. Those men...not so much.

Matt Damon was bigger in the beginning with Saving Private Ryan, The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Bourne movies. But now Ben is bigger because he is more of a tabloid figure.

Denzel Washington v. Will Smith

Reese made her name as a film actress so that usually wins over a TV actress of any kind

Even though I wasn't a fan, FRIENDS is one of the most well known shows ever. So that makes Aniston bigger.

Denzel is the better actor but Will Smith is (was?) the bigger star

The name of the show was FRIENDS, r9, not FRIEND.

Brendad Ickson vs. Mamie Van Doren

Faye Dunaway or Jane Fonda?

No one compares to me. I’ve been through the most.

I’d still say Aniston is the bigger star.

Harry Townes vs Alfred Ryder.

Chrissy Metz vs. Oprah for most of the 1980s?

I spanned all the decades. Oprah came in waves.

While Reese doesn't have a ton of range, she is the superior actress. Jen is a celebrity; not an actor. Jen has milked her personal life for every possible drop of drama and in that sense she is the bigger star in the pop culture world. The one thing they have in common is that they're both beloved by female audiences.

Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks?

Hanks

Frances McDormand or Streep

McDormand. More Oscar’s and more well known recent movies.

James Marsden or James Franco?

Bette Midler or Streisand.

Midler. Hocus Pocus and First Wives Club are beloved among modern day audiences

I'm gonna be that guy and point out that OP said biggest "STAR," not most proficient or accomplished actor.

r21 her name recognition is way less than Streep's so I am going to disagree

Helen Lawson or Neely O'Hara?

[quote]Faye Dunaway or Jane Fonda?

Faye

James Marsden or Chris Pine?

Chris Pine

Ryan Gosling or Glen Powell?

Aniston. It makes little sense, but she's more likable. Reese has the whole DUI thing and she's a jerk. J has a better reputation.

Gosling

Which Helmsworth is the biggest star?

Chris, in a walk. He has the bigger hits, and even his flops are bigger than anything Liam has done in forever. (Sorry, Luke).

Character actress battle royale: Margo Martindale or Ann Dowd?

R30: Totally agree. I have no idea why people and particularly women like Reese so much.

Francie Swift or Elizabeth Marvel?

R23 Babs took down Artha in celebrity deathmatch . She will have Midler down without raising a well manicured finger but by simply blinding her with the glow of her to Oscars.

Sally Field or Jessica Lange?

Sally Field.

Rita Hayworth or Ava Gardner?

I'm the greatest star.

Elaine Joyce or Joyce Bulifant?

Betty White or Bea Arthur?

Sandra Dee or Yvette Mimieux?

Simmer down, r39, r40, and 41.

I'm still waiting for an answer to r37.

According to Anita Eckberg it´s a tie between Rita and Ava.

Patti LuPone v Betty Buckley

Patti, hands down.

Bette Davis or Joan Crawford?

Jessica Adams or Amy Chastain?

Amy chastain

Christina Aguilera or Gwen Stefani

Christina Aguilera!

Robin Weigert or Julianna Margulies

Barbra or Liza?

Barbra

Patti or Audra?

Audra

Audra

Bernadette Peters or Mrs. Miller

[Quote] Faye Dunaway or Jane Fonda

Jane

Fonda made her film debut in 1960 and was nominated for seven Oscars and won twice. She appeared in such films as 9 to 5, On Golden Pond, The Morning After, Agnes of God, The China Syndrome, California Suite, Coming Home, Klute, They Shoot Horses, Don't They? Barbarella, Barefoot in the Park and Cat Ballou.

Dunaway made her first film in 1967 and her turn in the biopic Mommy Dearest in 1981 derailed her career After that the only really notable films she appeared in were Barfly (1987) And Rules of Attraction in 2002. She was a three-time Oscar nominee and won once for Network.

Mamie Eisenhower or Michelle Obama ?

Banannarama or The GoGos

Paul Newman or Robert Redford?

Mary Beth Hurt or May Kay Place?

Baby Jane or Blanche Hudson?

Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor?

Vera Hruba Ralston or Belita?

Cybill Shepherd or Sybill Danning?

[Quote] Paul Newman or Robert Redford?

Definitely Paul Newman From 1956 to 2002 he was a top star appearing in such films as Somebody Up There Likes Me, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Hustler, Hud, Exodus, Cool Hand Luke,, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, Slapshot, Sweet Bird of Youth, The Long Hot Summer, Winning, The Towering Inferno, Fort Apache, the Bronx, Absence of Malice, The Verdict, The Color of Money, Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, Nobody's Fool, Road to Perdition. He was nominated 9 times for the Academy Award and won for The Color of Money.

[quote]Bette Davis or Joan Crawford?

Forever Bette.

The James Marsden or James Franco one from way up the thread wasn't answered yet, so I'll answer:

James Franco - but only because of the negative press.

Sophia Loren or Catherine Deneuve?

Catherine Deneuve.

Harold Lloyd or Buster Keaton?

OP did not manage/oversee/garden his own thread

Streisand is a great star in every show business media- she’s also once in a lifetime talent. Pretty hard to top her even in the fall of her life.

R57 even their own parents can’t tell them apart

[quote] Streisand is a great star in every show business media- she’s also once in a lifetime talent. Pretty hard to top her even in the fall of her life.

Fall??

Honey, 82 years old is not autumnal. She's well into winter.

Lindsay or Paris?

Monroe

OP here. Please before you post your own matchup, answer the previous one if it has not been answered. We can continue to discuss who is actually the bigger star but some of these matchups need winners.

Do you understand?

Deidre Hall or Susan Lucci?

Susan Lucci

Kerry Washington or Taraji P Henson

Kerry Washington

Susan Sarandon or Jessica Lange

Jessica Lange

Monica Lewinsky or Stormy Daniels

Monica who told friends she was going to Washington to land some major league cock - and then played the “touched for the very first time like a virgin!”

Stormy Daniels

Dermot Mulroney or Dylan McDermott

Dylan McDermott

Robert Deniro or Al Pacino

Monica > Stormy

Liza or Judy???

Liza has the EGOT….

Bea Arthur or Betty White??

R64 you are kidding right. Has James Mardsen EVER been in a hit movie.

Betty White was an icon!

Lea Michele or Amber Riley?

Some of you aren’t folllowing instructions.

Mary Kate or Ashley?

Amy Ryan vs Amy Adams.

Please obey the rules of this thread.

Amy Adams

Sarah Miles or Susannah York?

York. Deniro.

Marlon Brando or Carey Grant

Cary Grant.

Glenn Close vs Julianne Moore

Carey Grant

Linda Blair or Tatum O'Neal?

Close. You can’t be serious btw. It’s not even close

Will Smith or Tom Cruise

Cruise

Haley Mills or Patty Duke

Cruise

Karen Allen vs. Brooke Adams.

Allen

Sally Field or Mia Farrow?

Sally.

Charlize Theron vs. Nicole Kidman.

Kidman

Mel Gibson or Russell Crowe?

Sarah, Duchess of York or Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh?

Sarah York, the survivor and all-around good 'ol' broad.

You guys think Carey Grant is bigger than Brando? Nahhh. No way.

[quote]Frances McDormand or Streep McDormand. More Oscar’s and more well known recent movies.

Ke Huy Quan has more Oscars than Harrison Ford; doesn't make him a bigger star.

[quote]You guys think Carey Grant is bigger than Brando? Nahhh. No way.

Of course you wouldn't think so. You can't even spell Grant's name. Cary Grant was the bigger star and for a much longer period of time.

R103 yes but being that they’re both dead I am talking about presently. The Godfather is one of the most iconic characters if not THE most iconic film character. And he was A list before that. I doubt anyone under the age of 40 can named ANY Cary Grant film.

[quote]Haley Mills

Who?

Diana vs. Jackie

Diana

Hermione Gingold or Hermione Baddeley?

Mel Gibson or Russell Crowe?

I think Mel.

Margo Martindale or Ann Dowd?

Ann Dowd.

Ted Bundy vs. Joan Crawford?

RuPaul vs. Billy Porter.

RuPaul

Billy Porter vs. Porter Waggoner

R100 In 1999, the American Film Institute named Grant the second male star of Golden Age of Hollywood cinema (after Humphrey Bogart). Grant was known for comedic and dramatic roles; his best-known films include Bringing Up Baby (1938), The Philadelphia Story (1940), His Girl Friday (1939), Arsenic and Old Lace (1944), Notorious (1946), An Affair to Remember (1957), North by Northwest (1959) and Charade (1963).

Bette Midler

Joy Behar or Kathy Griffin?

[quote]Hermione Gingold or Hermione Baddeley?

Ms. Gingold. Not even close.

Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds?

Gosling.

Debra Monk vs. June Squibb

Reynolds is the bigger, wealthier movie star and producer. Gosling is the better actor/talent.

June Squibb

Heather Graham or Chloe Sevigny

Chloe

Kathryn Erbe vs Julianne Nicholson.

Who and who?

Ricky Lake or Jenny Jones

Lake for Hairspray alone

Shirley Maclaine or Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda. Come on now

Prince or George Michael.

PrincESS Michael of Kent!

Prince, for sure. At least in the US.

[Quote] Shirley Maclaine or Jane Fonda

[Quote] Jane Fonda. Come on now

Maclaine Made her film debut in Alfred Hitchcock's The Trouble with Harry in 1955. From 1959 to 1984 she was nominated for the Oscar five times winning in 1984 for Terms and Endearment.

She has appeared in 3 films that won Best Picture: Around the World in 80 Days, The Apartment and Terms of Endearment.

She's had a prolific career that spanned 6 decades appearing in such films as Irma la Douce, Being There, The Turning Point, Steel Magnolias, Postcards from the Edge, Sweet Charity, The Matchmaker, The Children's Hour, Some Came Running, Guarding Tess, Gambit, Bernie . . .

She's made over 50 films working with Vincente Minnelli, William Wyler, Billy Wilder, Bob Fosse, Mike Nichols, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Anne Bancroft, Jack Lemmon, Michael Caine, Clint Eastwood, Peter Sellars, Rob Reiner, Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Alfred Hitchcock, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman, Jennifer Aniston, . . .

She received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2013

R134 I don’t give a fuck. Shirley is not a bigger star or more famous than Jane fkin Fonda. Jane Fonda is more than just Hollywood actress who was popular for a decade or so. She is forever an icon of political defiance. She is an A list actress sure but also the face of contemporary Hollywood’s alliance with liberalism. She also was a sex symbol at one time. Not to mention her famous Hollywood family.

Girls, girls! You're both entitled to your opinions! Because that's all they are.

Speaking of which

Lena Dunham or Issa Rae

Jennifer Lopez or Mariah Carey?

Hmm in the states I’d say they are on the same wavelength but internationally JLo.

Kathryn Erbe vs Julianne Nicholson.

Julianne.

Harry Styles vs Justin Bieber

Bieber but in ten years it will be Harry mark my words. And they are both currently A list.

neither will last another 2 years R142 Mark my words

R143 nah Harry is really talented.

talent is everything R144

r145 (^.^) often talent isn't enough R144

Jeff Stryker or Ken Ryker

Stryker he could maintain an erection

R135 being well-known is not the same as being a star.

R149 maybe for a high school quarterback but for a Hollywood commercial actor its a big part of the fkin gig.

R150 being well known for activism doesn't translate into success at the box office.80 for Brady

Florence Henderson vs Shirley Jones

Broadway Edition!

Sutton or Audra?

Josh Gad or Andrew Rannells?

Karen Olivo or Gavin Creel?

You mean limited edition R153 and many including me aren't familiar with most of the people you named. This year's Tony Awards had a very small viewership. And before the pandemic I saw two or three Broadway shows a year.

R151 Thanks for proving my point. Has Shirley Mclaine been the lead in any theater released film in the past 20 years.

Richard Linkletter's Bernie a very funny film R155

Rumor Has It (2005)

In Her Shoes (2005)

R155 In Her Shoes

George Clooney vs Matt Damon

George

Glenn Powell vs Timothee Chalamet

Timothee

Michael B Jordan or Jake Gyllenhaal

Jake

James Caan vs Jeff Bridges

Jeff Bridges, I think. More longevity. Wider appeal.

Babe Paley or Wallis Simpson, The Duchess of Windsor?

Lucille Ball or Carol Burnett?

Liza Minnelli or Goldie Hawn?

Liza.

Ron Howard vs Henry Winkler

[quote]Florence Henderson vs Shirley Jones

Shirley Jones. Oscar winner for "Elmer Gantry" who was in other very good movies, including "The Music Man" and "Oklahoma!" The Florence Henderson's only starring role in a movie was in the horrible flop "Song of Norway." Florence Henderson had "The Brady Bunch" on TV but Shirley had "The Partridge Family."

Yet many more people have seen the Brady Bunch over the last five decades than all of Shirley Jones movies combined. The Brady Bunch was in constant rerun for decades, the show even had specials as well as 2 popular two theatrical based on the characters. The Brady's are far more iconic than the Partridges and even the other BB cast members who went on to do nothing afterwards are still recognized for that show alone.

Alison Arngrim versus Mindy Cohn

Mindy much bigger

"The Brady Bunch" always was and always will be a shitty piece of kitsch, R177. Gazillions of people have watched "Gilligan's Island" over the years, so, by your reckoning, Bob Denver was a bigger star than Montgomery Clift.

Elizabeth Ashley vs Suzanne Pleshette.

Greg vs Marsha?

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!

R180 glad to see those anger management classes are working out for you. It was Florence Henderson vs Shirley Jones and talent aside, Henderson (Mrs. Brady) is more of an icon than Jones.

MARCIA, not Marsha.

Ann B. Davis vs Nancy Kulp?

Whoever gets last licks

Beyoncé or Taylor?

R188 I was waiting for someone to enter the Queen which is absurd. How can one even respond to such an absurd question.

Taylor

Matthew McConaughey vs Matt Damon

2 Matts cancel each other

Linda Lavin or Bonnie Franklin

^Penalty kicks

Moses or Mohammed

Connie Francis or Connie Stevens?

Francis

Tom Hanks vs Tom Cruise

JD Vance or Sarah Palin?

Sarah Palin

Michael Jackson or The Beatles?

Michael

Dorothy Kilgallen or Arlene Francis?

Dustin Hoffman vs Robert Redford

Mamie Gummer, Grace Gummer, or Louisa Jacobson?

R200 The Beatles

Cher vs Bette Midler

R204 is a thread killer.

Cher

Eva Marie Saint or Tippi Hedren

Dahmer or Bundy

No contest R208 Eva Marie Saint by far. Hedren is basically known for two films both of them directed by Alfred Hitchcock: The Birds (1963) and Marnie (1964).

Eva Marie Saint was busy for 2 decades appearing in North by Northwest, Exodus, On the Waterfront, Grand Prix, Loving, Raintree County, A Hatful of Rain, The Stalking Moon, The Sandpiper, All Fall Down, Nothing in Common, The Russians are Coming . . .

R209 Bundy

Angelina Jolie or Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts

Zac Efron vs Matthew Perry

Janet Jackson vs Ashlee Simpson?

Letoya

Ashanti or Brandy

Brandy

Madonna or Taylor Swift

Matthew Perry vs. Keanu Reeves

R214, Matthew actually drowned so, Matthew.

Marlon Brando or James Dean.

The ghost of Matthew Perry is not bigger than Keanu Reeves.

So actually that is very tough one. I would say Dean only because he personifies an ideal. But obviously in life and most of the twentieth century Brando. But James Dean will probably never be forgotten in pop culture at large, literary circles, theater types, and art and culture.

R219 Brando if only for The Godfather, A Streetcar Name Desire and On the Waterfront

and that stick of buttah

Eddie Murphy or Will Smith?

Smith. Though Eddie is still a huge star.

Murphy WAS a huge star R224 Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F wasn't released in theaters while Smith's Bad Boys: Ride or Die has pulled in $200M in domestic box office. Most of Murphy's films over the last 3 decades have been poorly received and were not successful at the box office: Norbit, Meet Dave, Imagine That, Tower Heist, The Haunted Mansion, Daddy Day Care, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Bowfinger, Life, Holy Man, Showtime, Vampire in Brooklyn . . .He's been the voice of Shrek but most of his movies are dreck!

Nicole Kidman or Julianne Moore?

R225 Dreamsgirls, Norbit, Nutty Professor, Black Dolemite. I agree he has been in a lot of duds since the 90s but he had a renaissance like career resurgence in the aughts and his Netflix comedies as of lately have been extremely successful.

I think some of you older people think that Netflix original films of the past 7 years are movies that couldn’t find a distributor or the big studios didn’t want them. They are produced by Netflix because Netflix is investing in original content. The stars of these films aren’t taking pay cuts. In fact many of them are partaking lucrative multiple movie deals. Streaming is the future. Hollywood traditional theaters to rental to streaming isn’t sustainable. People want to watch their shit at home with a handful of unique exceptions.

R228 in other words Murphy couldn't get people to go out to a movie. What was his last BO success?

R229 That’s not true. That’s what I’m saying. Netflix is now one of the major studios. And is more profitable than all of them except Disney.

Please stop derailing the thread. It's more of a game than a discussion thread.

James Coburn or Lee Marvin. (Always confused them.)

R231 I created this thread. Don’t tell me how to live my life. lol 😉

Coburn because I don’t know who Lee Marvin is.

Jack Nicholson vs. Harrison Ford

I want to answer some of the early matchups. lol you queens are delusional if you think Bette Midler is bigger star than Barbera Streisand. Ahahahahah. Lawd I am going to repost.

Bette Midler vs. Barbara Streisand

Answer: Barbera Streisand.

Lee Marvin

And anyone who can't spell "Barbra" (with two different spellings no less) shouldn't be allowed on the site, much less waddle her fat ass around proclaiming herself Queen of the Dumpster and stuffing her unconvincing racist poses in. While showing her illiteracy further. Let's see:

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Harrison Ford or Michael Douglas?

Among people under fifty, Bette is a bigger star, yes. Hello Dolly! on Broadway. First Wives Club and Hocus Pocus are HUGE among the younger generations.

Gays and Pre Gen X'ers will always love Streisand, but crossover appeal has diminished greatly the last two decades, while Bette's had increased.

Remember, it's not the best entertainer, it's who is the bigger star.

Barbera Streisand is beyond an A list star. She is a cultural icon at this point. You have stars and then you have people like Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson. I’m can’t think of a movie star with that level of fame. Barbers Streisand is the next tier after them.

Babs, Frank Sinatra, Madonna, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks. Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth.

These are more than just STAHS. They are cultural icons. Bette is gay cultural icon and A list for sure but not on the same tier as the aforementioned list of celebrities.

Barbra*

Jane Fonda never made a movie with a little person.

Goldie Hawn or Lily Tomlin?

Oscar winner Goldie Hawn

Harrison Ford or Michael Douglas?

Ford he's #7 on the list of Highest Grossing Actors of All Time

Samuel L. Jackson or Robert Downey Jr.?

I say Michael Douglas. More iconic personna. But then again Star wars. Actually yeah it’s Ford.

R242 Tie

Glenn Close or Julianne Moore?

Close

Glenn Close or Zendaya?

Glenn Close

Zendaya or Glenn Powell?

Zendaya

Zendaya vs Miley Cyrus

Zendaya

Zendaya or Timothee Chalamet?

Donny or Marie?

Marie.

Whoopi Goldberg or Viola Davis?

Whoopi

Whoopie's an EGOT but pretty much C-List now. Viola is A-List and still commands top roles.

Whoopi Goldberg is not C list. She could never be C list again life. And she is on one of the highest rated daytime talk shows.

John Benjman Hickey vs Dennis O'Hare.

Hickey

Alicia Keys vs Norah Jones

They won best new artist right after each other.

Keys

Keys for sure. More cultural staying power. I don't even know what Norah Jones looks like and she's only had one song enter the top 40.

R262 Most people only know Don’t Know Why. What’s crazy is that her debut album sold over 20 million copies worldwide. The 2nd sold a lot too. Alicia Keys doesn’t have any individual album that has sold that much but she has a signature look and hits. Yea I’d say Alicia Keys. This is what Norah Jones looks like.

Frances Conroy vs Lisa Emery

R257, if you've ever watched her on The View you'd see her salivate every time an A-Lister comes on the show. She's desperate to be back in the fold. They devoted an entire show to the godawful (pun intended) Sister Act II most likely because she's been trying to get funding for Sister Act III but no one's stupid enough to bite.

Lastly, the only reason she is on The View is because she had been black-balled (cancelled) in the industry and she couldn't find work. Barbara (not Barbera) Walters was kind enough to offer her the gig as moderator.

Whoopi is an 80s throwback. VIOLA IS THE BIGGER STAR.

R265 Nobody would recognize Viola Davis on the street even if snot were coming out of her nose.

Jesse Williams or John C. Holmes

R265 Hi there. And please tell us why she was blackballed, eye roll, since you are so right about Sister Act 3.

Jesse Williams or John C. Holmes

Jesse

Gaga or Katy Perry?

Gaga

Brenda Strong vs Susan Misner

Brenda

Candice Bergen or Ellen Burstyn

Zendaya or Timothee?

Bergen (as far as being a "star")

Timothee, because Zendaya (urp) won't last.

^ I’m calling a Zentimotie

Neither will Timothee if he doesn’t eat something.

Bette Davis or Zendaya?

Zendaya. She has 183 million Instagram followers and even though Challengers was a dud, it still topped anything non-IP little Chalamet has had top billing in.

Jeff Goldblum vs Vincent D'Onofrio.

Goldblum

Andy Garcia vs. Cuba Gooding Jr

Cuba.

Rita Moreno vs Mitzi Gaynor

Rita Moreno

Selma Hayek vs Rosie Perez

Zendaya

Selma.

Dane Clark vs Steve Cochran

Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato?

Selena Gomez

Mary J Blige vs Sarah Mclachlan

R279 doesn't understand what a star is.

Poor little consumer of cheap goods.

Cameron Diaz vs. Bridget Fonda

Bridget Fonda

Patrick Dempsey vs. Christopher Meloni

I wouldn’t be so sure about Zendaya. She’s nearly 30 and she still hasn’t shown that she can bring anything non-IP to decent numbers. She’s a shit actress to boot.

Zendaya is an A list star. The industry format is changing. Halle Berry is A list and I can’t think of one movie she ever lead that was big profitable success. She has sold magazines and perfume for the past 20 years though.

R290 I say Meloni.

JLo or Shakira?

JLo

Rock Hudson or Harry Belafonte

Lena Dunham vs. Chrissy Metz

Leave the scale out of this…

Rock Hudson

Here you go, R268.

As for Sister Act 3 it's "in development" which is code for nowheresville. Get back to me in a year and let's see if there's been any movement on this wishful thinking project.

R297. I know I realize it is still in development hell. I think they need a good script. Money is not an issue. Tyler Perry is funding I believe.

Blake Lively or Jessica Biel? I know that I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel, but why the hell not?

Lively With 4 upcoming projects she seems to have the livelier career at the moment

Goldie Hawn or Diane Keaton?

Keaton

Goldie Hawn or Bette Midler?

Midler

Sarah Jessica Parker vs Jennifer Aniston

Aniston definitely. Anniston had numerous high paying gigs:$25M Murder Mystery 2, $45M Murder Mystery (2019) $26M We're the Millers, $25M Just Go with It, $28M The Break-Up . . .

I don’t know. For some reason SJP just seems more well known. Maybe it’s the name. Just has a better punch to it.

To my mind R306 it is clearly Anniston. Friends was a huge success and ran on network television for 10 years and has been hugely popular in syndication for decades. Each of the Friends cast members has been paid $20M a year in residuals for the last 2 decades. Sex in the City had six seasons on HBO. After friends Aniston had a successful film career and made more money for one film than SJP probably made in her entire career.

R307 She didn’t make 20 mil per episode but she made a shit ton of money from Sex and the City, and the franchise’s films. She wasn’t just star, she was also EP. Let’s not forget SJP was a working film actress in the 90s too. I’ll admit Aniston has made more money but something about SJP feels more iconic. I think 100 years from now SJP will be remembered by pop culture while Jennifer Aniston won’t.

It’s funny. I just googled. They are both worth 200 mil.

R309 It's not funny' it's incorrect.

Jennifer Aniston / Net worth 320 million USD

Aniston receives $20M per year from reruns alone which started in 2000. Do the math!

SJP's salary combined salary for the 2 Sex in the City movies was $35M. Aniston made $45M plus $20M+back end for 2019 Netflix film Murder Mystery. Parker could never command a salary anywhere near that.

And don't forget the Rachel

I would say that Goldie Hawn was a bigger star than Diane Keaton and Bette Midler.

Warren Beatty or Robert Redford?

Redford.

Jack Nicholson or Robert Redford?

I would say Redford.

Alfre Woodard vs Angela Bassett?

Angela Bassett.

Nicholson. Sometimes sustained A list actors do shit to make them iconic like Jack being the most well known Lakers fan regularly attending the games.

Bassett.

Angelina Jolie vs. Jennifer Aniston.

Angelina.

Angelina

Kathleen Turner vs Debra Winger.

Kathleen only because she was the more traditional leading lady.

Chris Tucker vs. Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence for sure.

Ann Miller vs. Eleanor Powell

[Quote] Jack Nicholson or Robert Redford?

Definitely Nicholson. He's been in many iconic films: Chinatown, The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Terms of Endearment . . . He's won three Academy Awards and has been nominated 12 times between 1970 and 2003

Ann Miller for the simple fact her career carried over many decades while Eleanor's fizzled in the mid 40s.

She did Broadway, tv appearances and I still remember seeing her in 2001's Mulholland Drive, her last role. She died in '04 so she was pretty much working up until the end.

Vanessa L. Williams vs. Sheryl Lee Ralph

Vanessa Williams. The scandal gave her a lot of exposure and she overcame it and became a well respected singer and actress

Melania vs. Stormy Daniels

Stormy has more films, so her. Melania is skankier, however.

Heather Locklear vs. Jennie Garth

Heather.

Esther Rolle or Theresa Merritt?

Esther

Chris Noth vs Christopher Meloni

Meloni

Ree Drummond or Ina Garten

Drummond Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B

Nicki Minaj, although she shouldn't be.

Jennifer Coolidge versus Jane Lynch

Coolidge

Ciara vs. Jessica Simpson

Ciara

Angie Dickinson vs Kathleen Turner

Serial Mom will always win over Police Woman on DataLounge

Don Cheadle vs. Jeffrey Wright

Cheadle

Sammy Davis Jr. or Harry Belafonte?

Sammy

Tom Selleck or Lee Horsley?

Selleck

Ann-Margret or Raquel Welch?

Raquel, though Ann-Margret is much more likable.

Connie Francis or Annette Funicello?

Connie Francis

Annette Funicello or Connie Stevens?

Annette

Esther Williams or Sonja Henie?

Connie Steven’s, only because she’s embedded in the Liz Taylor, Debbie Reynolds, Eddie Fisher mess.

Stevens, not Steven’s. F’ng autocorrect.

Muriel, where’s the edit button?

Connie Francis all the way! Hundreds of millions sold, prestigious venues, etc. !

R350 Muriel is a cheap whore.

Vivian Vance or William Frawley

Vivian Vance

She appeared on The Lucy Show from 1962-68 and was busy appearing in TV movies and doing guest appearances on television shows until 1978. She did Broadway and was in the film The Great Race (1965) Frawley was on My Three Sons from 1960-1965 and died in 1966 of a heart attack on Hollywood Boulevard shortly after seeing Inside Daisy Clover (1965)

Muriel vs. Joan Crawford

Joan

Leonardo DiCaprio or George Clooney?

Leo.

Esther Williams or Sonja Henie? Don’t ignore r348

I say Esther

Esther Williams or Esther Rolle?

Williams she had more rolles.

Aileen Wuornos vs. Muriel

[quote]Williams she had more rolles.

Not THIS one, bitch.

Blake Lively or Kate Hudson?
