It would suit me fine if there never was another John Wayne. He amde William Shatner look deep. (Shoot me, now...)

Current actors who I feel will be well remembered (although not pop icons) are Robert Duvall, Billy Joe Thornton and Harrison Ford. I suppose that you'd have to add Robert DeNiro to that list. I can't get too warmed up over Tom Cruise, although he can act, when required. Jack Nicholson will have a good career to look back on, although he seems usually to play variations on a smart ass. Once the old studio system broke down, and "stars" weren't "owned" by a single studio, they had the freedom to go into a wide variety of movies.

One question... why is Ben Afleck considered to be the Sexiest Man on earth (recent headline.) I'd like to see him in the life story of Ken (before and after he was jilted by Barbie.)

Now we have Adam Sandler doing the Jimmy Stewart roles? Maybe they'll do a re-make of On The Waterfront with him in the Brando role..

Ecch..
