Icon of the century
(AP)
Updated: 2005-10-22 10:48 Sorry Johnny, Oprah and Madonna — you just missed
the cut. Variety ranks the top 10 entertainment icons of the century in a new
commemorative issue marking the trade publication's 100th anniversary. The
Beatles were dubbed the no. 1 icon in the issue, currently on newsstands.
Following the Fab Four, the top 10 is rounded out by Louis Armstrong, Lucille
Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, Charlie Chaplin, James Dean, Marilyn
Monroe, Mickey Mouse and Elvis Presley.
Variety also lists 90 more icons, though not ranked. It includes Frank
Sinatra, Cary Grant, Bob Dylan, the Marx Brothers, Johnny Carson, Oprah Winfrey,
Madonna and others.
Bugs Bunny did not make Variety's list, but Pac Man did. The most
contemporary choices were Kurt Cobain, Tupac Shakur and Quentin Tarantino.
The lone animal named an icon? Lassie, much to Alf's dismay.
