'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
There should be a search engine (this is where someone proves me ignorant) where you can type in a star's name and get back the gross of their movies.
Before The Grudge, I wouldn't have hesitated reading that as Portman needs to be as famous as SJP. Okay, no, I would, because Portman is pretty famous, and has a higher movie profile than either Sarah.

Yeah, any way you slice it, that fametracker rating seems to have its head up its ass.
Yeah, my perspective may be skewed by my being part of the demographic that is most in love with NP, but I'd say she's more famous than either of the others, at least in the general population.
They might also have been in love with the "Hey! They're both named Sarah and they both have three names! Let's throw them in somewhere and look hip."
I agree. I mean, she got tons of press for Garden State, and she's everywhere with Closer, and that's just recently. It would be really difficult to have missed her association with Star Wars, even if you tried. Though I would forgive not remembering her earlier stuff so well, since she was fairly young in a lot of them.
Though anyone who didn't see Where the Heart Is totally should, because it's awesome.
I like Beautiful Girls far more than I should. It is completely a guilty pleasure.
To muddy the waters a bit, for Katie Holmes it says:
Current approximate level of fame: Sarah Michelle Gellar
Deserved approximate level of fame: Natalie Portman
I am so confused.
In the review of Closer in the New Yorker (or maybe it was TONY) the reviewer was arguing that Portman is too beautiful, that directors don't know what to do with her. Lucas had to slather her with makeup so that she could fit in his asexual universe.
aaand, it's official: the Fame Audit just doesn't like SMG:
Current approximate level of fame: Kirsten Dunst Deserved approximate level of fame: Melissa Joan Hart
That is confusing, Victor.
Though I think it is fair to say that Sarah and Katie are pretty equal on the fame scale. It is beginning to look like everybody is at a Sarah level of fame, and deserves a rise, or something, however.
Does Julia Roberts get a ranking?
