The living legend herself, Meryl Streep.

A rare star actress in her post-40s who actually defies "rules" and can still draw.

EDIT - fun fact, Dick Smith was supposed to do make-up for TERMINATOR, but couldn't do it. He instead recommended to James Cameron a young make-up artist by the name of Stan Winston.

Thanks Dick.

EDIT 2 - Xenu was supposed to honor Oprah Winfrey, but he couldn't make it so his follower John Travolta filled in.

For those puzzled, Steve Jobs was included because he was an executive at Pixar. If he wasn't there to save Pixar in the late 80s, there wouldn't be a Pixar today.

Good than it wasn't just me. I didn't know many of them either. I'm sure they all were important in the movie world but NOT known as much in general population.

True. Liz Taylor was probably the biggest "movie star" on the list, with Jane Russell, Farley Granger, Ben Gazzara and Peter Falk next.
