2008 | AFI's 10 Top 10 |
AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars is the American Film Institute's list ranking the top 25 male and 25 female greatest screen legends of American film history and is the second list of the AFI 100 Years... series.
The list was unveiled through a CBS special on June 15, 1999, hosted by Shirley Temple (who is herself honored on the female legends list), with 50 then-current actors making the presentations.[1]
AFI defines an "American screen legend" as "an actor or a team of actors with a significant screen presence in American feature-length films (films of 40 minutes or more) whose screen debut occurred in or before 1950, or whose screen debut occurred after 1950 but whose death has marked a completed body of work." In other words, the list generally honors actors recognized for their contributions to classical Hollywood cinema.[1] Jurors selected the final lists from 250 male and 250 female nominees.[2]
The top stars of their respective gender are Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, who starred together in the classic adventure 1951 film The African Queen, for which Bogart won his only Academy Award.
The male stars where all born in American, except Charlie Chaplin, Laurence Olivier and Cary Grant, who were born in the United Kingdom.
The female stars where all born in the United States, except Vivien Leigh and Elizabeth Taylor, who were born in the United Kingdom, Sophia Loren, born in Italy and Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo both born in Sweden.
As of May 2022, at 87, Sophia Loren is the only surviving honoree.[1] At the time of the lists' unveiling Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Shirley Temple, Lauren Bacall, Kirk Douglas (the longest-lived star at 103) and Sidney Poitier were all still living, but they have since died.
