Hollywood stars: they don't make ‘em like they used to. While there are still many fine actors and actresses working in film and television today, very few have the megawatt star power that used to bring audiences to the theaters from the mid- to late 20th Century. And as we move further and further away from the Golden and Silver ages of Tinseltown, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine: who WAS the Best Classic Hollywood Movie Star?
We consider 16 film actors and actresses who made their big breaks prior to 1969, including: Cary Grant, Paul Newman, Judy Garland, Ingrid Bergman, Humphrey Bogart, Fred Astaire, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis, Gene Kelly, Gregory Peck, and Barbara Stanwyck.
Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Derek Mekita, Jonny Minogue, and Karissa Kloss as they discuss 16 of the biggest Hollywood legends who made their big breaks prior to 1969.
