The rankings come from Quigley Publishing Co.'s annual list (since 1932) of top money making stars in the USA, which based on a poll of hundreds of theater executives. The list does not rank stars only on how much cash their films made, but on what theater owners say about who attracts audiences on their star power alone.

I love 'em all. Especially the Duke and Lee Marvin, McQueen and Eastwood. Really a great decade for the movies. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Clint! Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas and all the best this holiday season. - Tom
ReplyDeletefortunatly, the Great Clint is still on the top. With every new movie he becomes greater to me. I always cry watching "million dollar baby" and "Gran Torino". Besides, I wish Dustin Hoffman appeared more often in the films lately, but I suppose that he is to retire, like Gene Hackman and Sean Connery.
