   CARY Grant and Doris Day reign as the King and Queen of the screen stars in BOXOFFICE's 26th annual All-American Screen Favorites Poll for 1962.

   Results this year, with only a few slight changes from the 1961 poll, indicate that, while stars may come and stars may go, the real pros retain their popularity year after year. They may move up and down the ladder a rung or two, or more, but still occupy a place of honor among the top echelon. This is the second time around for this royal pair, having shared the No. 1 spot in the 1960 BOXOFFICE poll.

 

   Cary Grant reverses positions with Rock Hudson and Miss Doris Day crowds out Elizabeth Taylor, the latter moving down to sixth place among the feminine contingent.

 

   Cary Grant, a long-time screen personality and poll champion, led the male contingent for three successive years — 1958, 1959 and 1960. Having dropped to fourth place in 1961, he has regained the "throne" in 1962. It is his 17th time among the Top Winners since his initial appearance in 1940, thus giving him the distinction of having maintained top star status on the BOXOFFICE poll for 17 out of 22 years.

 

   Doris Day moves up from second place last year, having held second position among the female winners for the years 1957, 1959 and 1961, having moved down one step to third place in 1958. She first climbed to the higher rungs of popularity in 1951, gradually rising to the number three spot in 1956.

 

   An important addition to the 1962 roster is the name of Sophia Loren, who places fourth in her first appearance among the winning array of stars since her name first was placed on the ballot in 1957. While most of her films have been Italian imports, she has been popular in America and her first English-language film, "Boy on a Dolphin" for 20th-Fox (1957), made her eligible for the poll. She won an Academy Award for 1961 as best actress for her role in "Two Women" an Embassy film (1960) released in both Italian-language and English-dubbed versions.

 

   Special mention is also due Paul Newman and Charlton Heston, this being the first appearance of both on the male roster, the former zooming to fourth place and the latter achieving seventh position.

 

   Absent this year from the Top Twelve male winners are Marlon Brando, who placed ninth last year and Gregory Peck, who ranked eleventh.

 

    Marlon Brando's slight drop to first position in the Runners-up this year is probably due to his having appeared in no new films since "One-Eyed Jacks" for Paramount in 1961. He is currently appearing in "Mutiny on the Bounty" for MGM (1962).

 

   Gregory Peck's only film following his boxoffice smash, "The Guns of Navarone" (Col., 1961), was "Cape Fear" (Univ) in 1962, which did just fair business.

 

   Shirley MacLaine moves up two notches to second place in the top ranks, her fourth appearance on the poll. Her recent films are "The Children's Hour" (UA., 1961), "My Geisha" (Paramount, 1962) and currently, "Two for the Seesaw" (UA, 1962). Miss Shirley MacLaine wife of producer Steve Parker, has come a long way since her initial role in "The Trouble With Harry," which she made for Paramount in 1956.

 

    Rock Hudson moves down to second position from first place in 1961. Having made his film debut in 1948 with a small part in "Fighter Squadron" (WB), Rock Hudson received his big break in 1954 when he played the lead in "Magnificent Obsession" (Univ), opposite Jane Wyman, which boosted him to overnight stardom. He also starred opposite Elizabeth Taylor in "Giant" (WB, 1956) and was a sensation in "Pillow Talk" (Univ, 1959) with Doris Day. Latest films, both Universal, are "Lover, Come Back" (1961) with Doris Day and "The Spiral Road" (1962) with Burl Ives.

 

   Audrey Hepburn, among the women stars, is elevated to third place in the current poll from the tenth spot last year (1961). This makes her seventh appearance since winning fifth place honors in 1954. Her role in "Roman Holiday," which Paramount has reissued, won her an Oscar when it first was released in 1953. Recent films were "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (Paramount, 1961) and "The Children's Hour" (UA, 1961).

 

   Burt Lancaster, who won an Oscar in 1960 for "Elmer Gantry" (UA, 1960), climbs to third position from the number eight spot in 1961. His recent "Judgment at Nuremberg" (UA, 1961) was a top grosser and in "Bird Man of Alcatraz" (UA, 1962) he gave an excellent performance.

 

   Mention was made previously of Paul Newman's initial entry in the number four spot, probably due to his brilliant performance in "Sweet Bird of Youth" (MGM, 1962) and acclaim by critics for his role as The Battler in "Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man" (1962).

 

   As for newcomer Sophia Loren's rise to fourth place on the stellar horizon, her two 1962 top hit films released in this country are “El Cid" (AA, 1961) and "Boccaccio 70" (Embassy, 1962).

 

   John Wayne, eleven-time winner, slipped from second place in the 1961 poll to the number five spot for 1962. The former western star's development as a top dramatic actor was not so noticeable in his 1961-62 films, "The Comancheros" (20th-Fox, 1961) and two Paramount films, "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962) and "Hatari!" (1962) as in the two in which he is currently appearing: "The Longest Day" (20th-Fox, 1962) and "How the West Was Won" (MGM-Cinerama, 1962).

 

   Debbie Reynolds, six-time winner, is in the number five niche, having fallen two steps from her 1961 pinnacle. She placed first in 1959 and has remained near the top since her initial appearance in 1957. She has two pictures for the season, "The Second Time Around" (20th-Fox, 1961) and "How the West Was Won(MGM-Cinerama, 1962).

 

   Elizabeth Taylor, who is an eight-time winner, is sixth in the 1962 feminine line, a tumble from her first place perch in 1961. She was also first in the 1958 poll.

 

   Jack Lemmon, who drew the male number six spot, has three consecutive wins. His role in "The Apartment" (1960) won him second place in the 1960 poll. He recently starred in "The Notorious Landlady" (Col, 1962) and is currently playing in "Days of Wine and Roses" (WB, 1962).

 

  Natalie Wood, with three poll successes,  remains in seventh position which she held twice before — 1958 and 1961. A former child star, Miss Natalie Wood starred in "Splendor in the Grass" (WB, 1961) and "West Side Story" (UA, 1961) this season and is now appearing in "Gypsy" (WB, 1962).

 

 

   Charlton Heston is a newcomer, seventh in the male lineup. He won a 1959 Academy Award for his role in "Ben-Hur" (1959). His films this season are “El Cid" (AA, 1961) plus "The Pigeon That Took Rome" (Para, 1962), and he is presently starred in “Diamond Head" (Col., 1962).

 

 

   Rounding out the feminine contingent for positions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, the respective winners are Kim Novak, Susan Hayward, Sandra Dee, Joanne Woodward and Deborah Kerr.

 

   Miss Kim Novak (No. 8) has six wins in a row to her credit and ascended to first place in 1957.

 

   Miss Susan Hayward (No. 9) also has six consecutive wins and won a 1958 Oscar for her role in "I Want to Live" (1958). She starred in "Back Street" (Univ., 1961) before her current film, "I Thank a Fool" (MGM, 1962).

 

   Sandra Dee, a newcomer in 1960, has had three straight wins, but was relegated from fifth place last year (1961) to No. 10 this year (1962).

 

   Joanne Woodward, No. 11, has placed five times and is one notch up from 12th place last year. She won an Oscar for her role in "The Three Faces of Eve" in 1957.

 

   Deborah Kerr, going down from eighth position in 1961 to No. 12 for 1962, holds six steady wins. Her picture for the season was "The Innocents" (20th-Fox, 1961).

 

 

   Concluding the male lineup for positions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, the winners, respectively, are Glenn Ford, James Stewart, Kirk Douglas, William Holden and Tony Curtis.

 

   Glenn Ford, No. 8, moved down from fifth place last year and has six consecutive wins to his credit. His recent films were "Pocketful of Miracles" (UA, 1961) and "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (MGM, 1962).

 

   James Stewart, No. 9, is a long-time favorite with ten wins since 1939-40, and has appeared since on many lists, both combined and divided polls. He has maintained a steady record — his film career interrupted by several years of combat service in World War II — with only two absences from the poll. This year's "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation" (20th-Fox, 1962) was both a boxoffice success and a Blue Ribbon Award winner.

 

   Kirk Douglas, No. 10, has a long list of screen triumphs and is credited with four wins since 1958, having skipped 1959. Famed for his "Spartacus" role (1960), Kirk Douglas's films for 1962 are "Lonely Are the Brave" (Univ., 1962) and "Two Weeks in Another Town" (MGM, 1962).

 

  William Holden, No. 11, descends from his seventh place peak which he held, both in 1961 and 1960.

 

   Tony Curtis, actor and producer with his own company, winds up the male laurel line by swinging into the No. 12 spot, which gives him three straight wins. However, he took quite a drop this time from his third place pedestal in 1961 and fourth in 1960. He currently is appearing in "Taras Bulba" (UA, 1962) and "40 Pounds of Trouble" (Univ., 1962).

 

 

 

   The All-American Screen Favorites Poll is conducted by sending ballots listing the eligible stars to the following 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, educational and exhibitor organizations.
