However, I did give away a little teaser (the 1930 results).
I'll add that one here plus a movie teaser (top 100 movies after just 1930).

and I've now written the program to give us our leaderboard in the quiz (most popular movie stars)
these are the 17 "entries" I found on the internet
since they didn't know the rules of this quiz when they made their list, they should be easy to beat by 2+2 entries
I'll be adding results one year at a time (1930, 1931, 1932 etc) so entries with old-timers will sprint to the lead.
Entries with more contemporary movie stars will come charging down the stretch.

I've added a 3rd movie quiz (least popular actor) and put up $200 for anyone who can win all three.
Deadline for entries is just 3 days away.
Deadline for entries is just 3 days away.
Entries close today at midnight PDT (3AM EDT).
So far, only xander biscuits is taking a shot at the $200 so he only has to beat my entries.
Nobody else want to take a shot at the money?

entries close in 6 hours
all 3 close in just 2 1/2 hours
hurry hurry hurry
hurry hurry hurry
well, well, well, another disaster
the more colossal the puzzle, the fewer the entries
and the final nail in the coffin was offering a $ prize: if there's anything that 2+2ers hate, it's money!
But, me + xander are all set to see the results - that was always more important than the quiz anyway
Who is the most popular actor/actress of all time? Least popular?
We're not just guessing here, this will be objective based on cold hard facts.
I had already run 1931 but I'm kinda busy today so here's a little bit of the results: least popular.
I gotta check this out - there are this many actors that already have 10 or more starring roles in just 1930 + 1931? Seems odd.

After I made the list I saw that Tim Holt starred in Treasure Of The Sierra Madre. Don't think he'll be top 50.
I now have 4 of my Top 10 "most popular" on the leaderboard:
#71 Bette Davis
#74 Clark Gable
#100 John Wayne
#127 Cary Grant
xander biscuits has 2:
#13 Boris Karloff
#100 John Wayne

and almost forgot, we have 2 more entries for "most popular" D1iabol1cal and Egix NinetySix: they both have Clark Gable
I guess I'd better show all the entries in full. I'll get right on that.

I feel like 9 out of 10 entrants are way off. Possibly 10 out of 10.
Most are a list of "greatest" instead of "most popular".
Some include TV work.
IMDB is "most popular" but obviously today not 1930-2020.
And Newsweek goes by quantity not quality.
I also found another source for Entertainment Weekly's list. They have Cary Grant at #6 and not the totally unknown Rebecca Love. I'll change that.
The idea for adding these is to give every 2+2 entry someone they can beat. 2+2ers, hang your head in shame if any of them finish ahead of you.
So how many years do you expect this reveal to take?
If you did it all over again, who would you pick for #1?
I'm going on vacation mid-August so if I can do 2 years a day, I should be finished by then.
I have no idea. My comment is just based on how wildly different everyone's answers are.
Probably someone that started a lot rather than someone in really popular movies. The weighting thing really negates the million vote movies.
