2008AFI's 10 Top 10

AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars is the American Film Institute's list ranking the top 25 male and 25 female greatest screen legends of American film history and is the second list of the AFI 100 Years... series. The list was unveiled on June 15, 1999, through a CBS special hosted by Shirley Temple (who is herself honored on the female legends list), with 50 then-current actors making the presentations.[1]

AFI defines an "American screen legend" as "an actor or a team of actors with a significant screen presence in American feature-length films [films of 40 minutes or more] 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." In other words, the list generally honors actors recognized for their contributions to classical Hollywood cinema.[1] Jurors selected the final lists from 250 male and 250 female nominees.[2]

The top stars of their respective gender are Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, who starred together in the classic adventure 1951 film The African Queen, for which Bogart won his only Academy Award.

As of January 2022, Sidney Poitier (age 94) and Sophia Loren (87) are the only surviving honorees.[1] At the time of the lists' unveiling Katharine Hepburn, Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas (the longest-lived star at 103), Marlon Brando, Lauren Bacall, Shirley Temple, and Dame Elizabeth Taylor were all still living, but they have since died.
