Popular Before My Time

Here's how "Popular Before My Time" works.
I name three actors/actresses/directors
who were really famous before I really got into film.
There are people whose careers I never dove into
and whose popularity I never understood.

Here's where you come in.
VOTE!
Tell me which of the three most deserves special attention,
the one who most deserves their fame and success.
Tell me which of their movies are most worth watching.
I'll watch them and report back later.
