Lilian Gish, Rudolph Valentino and swashbuckling heroes such as Douglas Fairbanks Snr and John Gilbert dominated the silent era, and in their wake have come stars whose names are now legendary: Greta Garbo, Errol Flynn, Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. New decades bring forth new stars: Paul Newman, Sean Connery, Jane Fonda, James Dean and Audrey Hepburn all came to fame in the 1950s and '60s, and the more recent big names include Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Cher, Harrison Ford and William Hurt.« less
