The All-American Favorites of 1960

 

By VELMA WEST SYKES

 

   For the third successive year, Cary Grant has won first place among the top male stars in BOXOFFICE'S annual poll for the All-American Screen Favorites.

 

   Leading the feminine contingent is Doris Day, who has been advancing steadily from her first naming to this select circle in 1951.

   The others chosen by a cross-section of public groups and theatremen are listed in the adjoining column. There have been some changes in positions in the past year and some new names have been added, particularly to the list of male stars, but the long-standing favorites still hold the majority.

 

   Securing the honor for the first time are Sandra Dee, Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Robert Mitchum, all of whom have been in the runner-up ranks during the past several years.

 

   As so much of the popularity of stars is contingent upon the boxoffice success of their films, it is not surprising that there have been several notable "drop-outs” among the top favorites, some over a long period, in recent years. Either they appeared in no new pictures during the current season or the vehicles and the roles they portrayed did not meet with wide favor.

 

    In the case of Cary Grant, topping the poll for the third straight year, the great popularity of his last two pictures, "North by Northwest” and "Operation Petticoat,” both running to large grosses during 1960, assured his maintenance of the highest public approval, which has been strongly evidenced at the nation's boxoffices.


/ - Gary Grant

 

 

 

    Doris Day, who had reached second place among the feminine stars in the poll the last two years, received tremendous impetus from the success of "Pillow Talk,” which was followed by two additional winners at the boxoffice, "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and "Midnight Lace." 

  The steady advance of Doris Day from a singing and dancing star, to a dramatic actress of stature has been notable. She has been teamed with successful male actors, surrounded by lavish productions and dressed in fabulous gowns, all of which accoutrements have contributed to the accolade she has now received.


/ - Doris Day

 

 

 

 

   The sure craftsmanship of Jack Lemmon's comedy brought about his almost phenomenal rise to second place in the male ranks this year, from that of no mention among the top winners of last year. "Some Like It Hot," which he and Tony Curtis made with Marilyn Monroe, catapulted all three of these stars to high positions of popularity, while "The Wackiest Ship in the Army" and "The Apartment" brought about the final surge in Lemmon's instance.


/ - Jack Lemmon

 

 

   

   Elizabeth Taylor, in fourth place last year (1959), who had topped the poll in 1958, now climbs to second place after her two pictures which were winners at the boxoffice, namely, "Suddenly, Last Summer” and "Butterfield 8."


/ - Elizabeth Taylor

 

 

  

 

   Rock Hudson with no major release since "Pillow Talk,” who was top man on the poll in 1957, and second last year (1959), is still a strong contender in the third place bracket this year. Even in cases where a star has not been too active in the current year, this carry-over of popular appeal is often noted. Hudson's newfound skill with the comedy situations of "Pillow Talk" gave him a whole new category of fans and a resultant continued high regard as evidenced by his strong position this year.


/ - Rock Hudson

 

 

   Shirley MacLaine, introduced in the Hitchcock thriller-comedy, "The Trouble With Harry," has been busy almost continuously ever since and her career received tremendous impetus by the interpretation of her role in “Some Came Running." With two successful films to her credit in 1960, "Can-Can” and the hilarious "The Apartment" made with Jack Lemmon, she has now risen from seventh place last year to third place among feminine stars this season.


/ - Shirley MacLaine

 

 

   Debbie Reynolds, in fourth place, falls from first place last year (1959).

   Debbie Reynolds, even though a few notches lower this year, has a strong hold on the affections of moviegoers as shown by her successful films, "It Started With a Kiss," "The Gazebo” and "The Rat Race."


/ - Debbie Reynolds

 

 

 

 

   Tony Curtis, who was not among the winners last year (1959), demonstrates great strides in the race for popularity.  

   Tony Curtis, after the record-breaking "Some Like It Hot," he went on to comedy portrayals in "Operation Petticoat" with Cary Grant, "Who Was That Lady?" and "The Rat Race," and the heavier role in "Spartacus," which schedule of steady activity brought him into the ranks of the winners.


/ - Tony Curtis

 

 

 

 

   Joanne Woodward, in fifth place among the women stars this year, continues a steady advance through sound dramatic performances in "The Fugitive Kind" and "From the Terrace" which have brought her from eighth place in 1958 and sixth in 1959. Her Academy Award winning role in "The Three Faces of Eve" first brought her into the ranks of stars to be reckoned with and her progress since has been only what might have been expected from so auspicious a beginning.


/ - Joanne Woodward

 

 

 

   Yul Brynner's popularity graph as recorded in the poll would seem to be one of seesaw dimensions. From third place in 1958, to tenth place in 1959, he rises again, to fifth this year. Four films of varying boxoffice success are the result of an extremely heavy schedule, "Solomon and Sheba," "Once More, With Feeling," “The Magnificent Seven" and an excursion into comedy,” "Surprise Package.”


/ - Yul Brynner

 

 

 

   Sixth place on the distaff side finds Deborah Kerr one place lower than last year (1959), although it may well be that her current film with Robert Mitchum, "The Sundowners," will be the stimulus for a better rating in the season to come.


/ - Deborah Kerr

 

 

 

   The hardy perennial, Frank Sinatra, riding high on two boxoffice bonanzas, achieves a sixth place rating this year as opposed to ninth in last year's (1959) poll in a return toward fourth place which he held in 1957. With "Can-Can" early in '60 and "Ocean's 11," later, he continues with his boxoffice success and again proves his personal popularity.


/ - Frank Sinatra

 

 

 

   A star whose popularity as shown in the poll seems to reflect not only the boxoffice grosses of her films, but also the sympathetic appeal of the particular roles she plays, is Audrey Hepburn. She was in tenth place in 1958 and fifth the year before (1957), eighth in 1959 and in 1960 she is in sixth place. Her role in "The Nun's Story" had great sympathetic appeal.


/ - Audrey Hepburn

 

 

 

   William Holden has, for several years now, kept a place among the top-ranking male stars, this year placing seventh with the success of "The World of Suzie Wong" adding to the carry-over power he has consistently shown. Last year (1959) found him in fourth place and the two preceding years he came in second.


/ - William Holden

 

 

 

   Marilyn Monroe, eleventh ranking woman star last year (1959), has moved up to eighth place in 1960, perhaps more due to the smash hit, "Some Like It Hot" of the preceding season, than to the current film, "Let's Make Love."


/ - Marilyn Monroe

 

 

 

 

 

  The great western star, John Wayne, moved up to eighth place in 1960, whose long record of successful films culminated this year in his own production of "The Alamo." His role in "North to Alaska," a hilarious “northwestern," added its weight to the overall summary of his popular strength.


/ - John Wayne

 

 

 

 

   Susan Hayward drops from third place on last year's (1959) poll to ninth this year. Her last two films have been "Woman Obsessed" and "The Marriage-Go-Round," the latter coming too late in the season to have been able to add to her popular following.


/ - Susan Hayward

 

 

 

 

   Kirk Douglas, who did not appear among the top winners in the 1959 poll, again enters the lists, on this occasion in ninth place, due no doubt to the success of his two most recent films, "Strangers When We Meet" and the spectacle, "Spartacus."


/ - Kirk Douglas

 

 

 

 

  A drop from his last year's (1959) ranking is registered by Glenn Ford, third then and now tenth. However, in the opinion of most critics, his fine performance in the current "Cimarron" will give great support to an upward climb during the coming season.


/ - Glenn Ford

 

 

 

 

   Ingrid Bergman, in spite of the fact her last picture released here was "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness," still wins a position, tenth, on this year's poll. The recurring upsurges in her popular appeal coincide with releases of her new films.


/ - Ingrid Bergman

 

 

 

   Kim Novak, who headed the aggregation of women stars in 1957, but dropped to ninth place last year (1959), now maintains her position in the upper twelve by ranking eleventh with one film to her credit, "Strangers When We Meet."


/ - Kim Novak

 

 

 

 

   Robert Mitchum with three films of major stature, "Home From the Hill," "The Night Fighters" and “The Sundowners," gains a place among the winners at the eleventh level.


/ - Robert Mitchum

 

 

 

   Sandra Dee, a newcomer to the winning circle, achieves a "first" in the popularity poll by making twelfth place in the listing.


/ - Sandra Dee

 

  

 

   "Oldtimer" Jerry Lewis continues among the toppers, albeit a notch below his eleventh position last year.


/ - Jerry Lewis

 

 

 

 

   The All-American Screen Favorites Poll is conducted by sending ballots listing the eligible stars to the following individuals and groups:

1. Motion picture editors of newspapers and magazines.

 

2. Theatres — circuits and independents in both large cities and small towns.

 

3. The working press comprising domestic, foreign and radio correspondents.

 

4. Radio and TV commentators.

 

5. National Screen Council members, who each month select the film most suitable for family entertainment to be given the BOXOFFICE Blue Ribbon Award. The Council is composed of motion picture editors, radio film commentators and representatives of better films councils, women's clubs, civic and educational organizations.
