G, I wish I'd thought of middle initials sooner. Then I wouldn't have spent a full minute on "Robinson"! That was a good stop-and-think name.

Nice - maybe except either first name for either hepburn. Not hard to figure out, but some people will complain.

Fun quiz, LTH. I might add Charles to go with Charley/Charlie (which I believe is the name he often used on screen). Also, you have Jimmy for the first James but don't seem to accept it for the next two even though they both went by it at times.

@munga, Katharine Hepburn is #1 on AFI's list so since there is a specific order, I'm gonna leave it.

It would be nice if you'd accept Vivian as well as Vivien for Leigh. I realise that it's not the correct spelling, but it's well in the same ballpark, and if you're accepting Katherine instead of Katherine for Hepburn, it seems reasonable to accept a slight misspelling here as well.

Darn, wish I had a spellcheck. I tried Shirly, Shirlei, Sirly, Sirlei... pretty hard as a non native speaker with spelling issues. Anyhow nice quiz which made me remember a few good movies. But John Wayne as #13?? Seriously?? :-o

I'm 23 and I got 43/50. I love all films from the 30s, 40s, 50s and on. Very few modern actors will ever be good enough to be put in the ranks of these legends right here.

I did attempt "Arthur" for Groucho Marx since it's his given name but was not accepted.

Got stumped by the second "Kelly". I guess the princess's ascendance to royalty removed her from the Hollywood section of my brain.

Once I got past Michael, Diane and Alex P for Keaton, Robinson and Princess Grace were the others that I had to think harder about. As with RaggedyAnne, I first thought of Bill Robinson too.

@madlion, Wayne was a staple in westerns and military movies well before Clint Eastwood. He was also Mel Brooks first choice to play The Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles.

When I saw Robinson, all I could think of at first was Frank and Brooks, but that's the Orioles fan in me...

Could I please ask that Ms Lombard's name include the final "e" when being entered, as when I started to type in Ms Pickford's name, there was a spurious "e" already in the answer box. Thanks.

@madlion: John Wayne is a Western legend and an Oscar winner. I'm pretty sure that qualifies him for this list...

@barnztormre: Groucho's given name was Julius, not Arthur. But Julius is also not accepted on the quiz.

Meryl Streep belongs on here much much more than Marilyn Monroe and Shirley Temple. The AFI is a puzzling group sometimes.

@demonpie...you've played 2000 Sporcle games and you still don't know that Sporcle ignores punctuation? It's not the . that tripped you up, it's Edward, not Edgar.
I'm mostly against making quizzes into spelling tests but in this case, the quiz is so easy I think the only challenge is whether you can spell the names correctly. So I would not accept all of these alternate spellings.

You should really have the last names in the first column so that they show up above the box for the answers we're typing in instead of the numbers in the first column. That way we wouldn't have to keep looking down at the list.

Almost none of these are their real first names .... Frank Cooper, Archibald Grant, Frances Garland, Norma Monroe, Marion Wayne, Eugene Kelly, Issur Douglas, Joseph Keaton, Emanuel Robinson, Ruth Davis, Margarita Hayworth, Harlean Harlow, Emilie Colbert, Ruby Stanwyck, Marie Dietrich, Virginia Rogers, Betty Bacall, Mary West, Jane Lombard, Eldred Peck, Gladys Pickford, William Gable, Lucille Crawford ...

For what it's worth, this comes directly from AFI's site:
AFI defines an "American screen legend" as an actor or a team of actors with a significant screen presence in American feature-length films whose screen debut occurred in or before 1950, or whose screen debut occurred after 1950 but whose death has marked a completed body of work.
