According to their website: "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."

I'd say giving us a notable (or even not so notable) movie they have starred in would create a more fun quiz. Guessing actors and actresses purely on either knowing this list or guessing from their active years is rather difficult.

I think the quiz is fine as it is.

I think I agree with Miko. It was fun to take a set of years and try to imagine who had acted in the movies during those decades. Although, Crazylegs's suggestion would make for an entirely different, but probably still very enjoyable quiz. Either way, very fun.

Didn't Elizabeth Taylor only die within the last few weeks?

I misunderstood and thought it meant American actresses as in from America rather than they acted in American films. Doh!

The pre-1950 debut is understandable. Someday AFI will have to alter to definition to include Wood, Streep, etc.
