I think there was a time when the answer to that question would have been, Charlie Chaplin. Maybe not now, though. Who could claim that title now?

Tom Cruise?
probably Will Smith thanks to that slap . . .

There is no definitive answer to your question, Sandy. There are now so many franchise films in so many genres that keep certain actors well and truly in the public's attention. They could probably all lay claim to being the most famous?
Perhaps looking at the wealthiest indicates the most revered in movies or better still the highest fee for recent movies. In the past there would have been highest paid actors such as Clint Eastwood, Nicholas Cage, Harrison Ford etc.
Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks.
Difficult to say but highest paid usually indicates this. Might be easier to define it by decade. Robert De Niro was huge in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Currently Scarlet Johanssen is the highest paid actress and George Clooney is the highest paid actor.
Sorry, I mean Daniel Craig.
I would also have said Tom cruise. But that's just because he's had a recent big film and it may also be to do with my age
Everyone is thinking Western World. There are some huge Bollywood stars.
homer simpson
In their own minds, each and every one of them.
I also think Tom Hanks
Marilyn Monroe. I don't think there's any one actor now who can claim the title.
Question Author
Among her greatest performance was her singing of, Happy birthday, Mr President, to Kennedy
She was never a great actress - but she was world famous - and still is.
I wouldn't class her as great actress either but somehow Marilyn Monroe became an icon/legend in the same way as James Dean.

Marlon Brando is another iconic actor.
I think she's more iconic than James Dean, tigger. I'd hazard a guess that a lot of young people today haven't a clue who James Dean was - but I'd bet my boots they know who Marilyn was.
Sandy, she probably gave JFK a better performance than that - in private, of course. And, m'lord, allegedly.
....and his brother :)
Do you know if Marilyn was as famous in life as she was in death? She's an icon, but I'm wasn't around back then, so I have no idea how embellished by her young passing her legend is (just like James Dean, Bruce Lee etc).

I suspect that during their lifetime, Charles Chaplin was more famous, partly due to Hollywood being less swollen with celebrity than it subsequently became.
