1930-2020
Thank god that's over! This took a lot more work than i expected.
We started with less than 1000 movies per year in the 30s but it ballooned up to over 8000 per year in the 2000s.
We can now say with mathematical certainty that ROBERT DE NIRO is the most popular movie star of all time.

1000th: Miranda Richardson
5000th: Mary Vivian Pearce
10000th: Brycen Hall
50000th: Celeste Desjardins
100000th: Anu Choudhury
Least popular movie star of all time: Trish Bauman

My pick for 10,000th was pretty close (Tor Johnson ranks 10,675th)

There were a total of 332,263 movie stars in all.

And the winner of quiz #1 (most popular movie star) is D1iabol1cal
And the winner of the $200 is: NOBODY
$200 went to anyone who could win all 3 quizzes - D1iabol1cal did not enter #2 or #3
And I finish behind Good Housekeeping (so embarrassing!)

I'm still mad at myself for taking Clark Gable at #6 lol.

Are you gonna put that top 100 list on imdb or anything?

thanks for this FerencL and congrats to everyone

We each won a quiz (even if D1iab won the main quiz)

Lots of work.

While I was doing this I came across the IMDB usage rules.
Seems everything on their site is their property and they do not allow anyone else to use it for any purpose without their written consent.
I'd better not post it on IMDB.
We now know that Dawn Bender was the 20,909th most popular movie star from 1930-2020 but we'd better keep that info under our hats!
