It’s no secret that many of Hollywood’s greatest stories <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-based-on-books">originate from novels</a>, but you might be surprised to learn which authors are responsible for your favorite adaptations. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-based-on-stephen-king-books/ranker-film">Stephen King</a>, JK Rowling, and Jane Austen are household names, but Philip K. Dick, Walter Tevis, and Patricia Highsmith have inspired movies and TV shows with reputations on par with&nbsp;The Shining,&nbsp;Harry Potter, and&nbsp;Pride and Prejudice.&nbsp;Authors who have a surprisingly excellent track record on-screen may be overlooked for a number of reasons. In some cases, their stories were picked up by A-list filmmakers whose fame eclipsed theirs. Daphne du Maurier, for example, produced stories that became the basis of three Alfred Hitchcock movies that are now almost exclusively associated with him. Another reason is variety. Authors like Richard Matheson and Walter Tevis wrote novels that spanned such a wide range of genres that it’s hard to believe the movies and television shows they inspired came from the same person. Few would assume that the 1980 period romance&nbsp;Somewhere in Time&nbsp;was dreamed up by the man who wrote the story behind Will Smith’s post-apocalyptic thriller&nbsp;I Am Legend. Whatever the reason for their undeserved anonymity, these authors created stories that <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-and-movies-you-didn-t-know-were-based-on-books/brent-sprecher">found a wide fandom</a> when they were brought to the screen.

When it comes to the most famous athletes&nbsp;in the world right now, a select few names easily top the list. Not only that, but many of these popular players&nbsp;are also some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-athletes-of-all-time" target="_blank">best athletes</a> in their respective sport. However, while skill and statistics are surely major factors in ranking athletes by fame, the most famous athlete out doesn&#39;t have to be the very best&mdash;especially not on this list. In short, it&#39;s up to you fans to decide just who takes the title for the most famous athlete, as well as those who follow close behind.&nbsp;

For starters, we all know <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-male-athletes/reference" target="_blank">famous male athletes</a>&nbsp;like Lebron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Roger Federer will find themselves high on the list. Then you have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-female-athletes/reference" target="_blank">top female athletes</a> like Serena Williams and Hope Solo. Keep in mind, though, the sport isn&#39;t necessarily a factor here. Whether you consider natural talent or straight statistics in determining who&#39;s the most famous, that&#39;s your choice. Perhaps it&#39;s who you see on TV the most in 2021, or those with the most endorsements. Whatever it is, give your input as to who makes the list of best athletes today with the most fame in 2021.&nbsp;

Method acting is when actors immerse&nbsp;themselves fully, emotionally and physically, in a role. Behind-the-scenes stories about method actors reveal that many have stayed in character off-camera as well. Like when <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/firsthand-depictions-of-tom-hanks/katherine-walker" target="_blank">Tom Hanks</a> decided not to bathe for weeks to look the part in Castaway. Or when <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/people-talk-about-nicolas-cage/pierce-nahigyan" target="_blank">Nicolas Cage</a> had his teeth pulled out, minus anesthesia, to feel the pain his Vietnam vet character endured in the movie Birdy.&nbsp;

Those who have worked closely with method actors on a film set offer different reactions to their character-focused colleagues, ranging from awe to puzzlement. Stories that reveal what directors and&nbsp;co-stars say about method actors, and what it&#39;s like&nbsp;to work with them, might surprise you.

Many of the most beloved sitcoms to have appeared on American television have been notable for the extent to which they have introduced the world to various child actors and, just as importantly, introduced said children to the art and craft of television performance.Many child actors who appeared in these series have expressed their thoughts and feelings about what it was like to be in front of the cameras and the world at such a young age.

List of celebrities with stage names, loosely ranked according to fame and popularity. It's tough to break into show business, but a good stage name might give you a leg up in a sea of boring Joe Smiths and Anne Taylors. This list includes famous people you didn't know were using fake stage names, including those who go by their middle names and celebrities who used variations of family names. A number of people on this list changed their names to avoid confusion with other actors. For example, the Batman you know as Michael Keaton was born Michael John Douglas - not to be confused with Michael Kirk Douglas (whose own father, Kirk Douglas, was born Issur Danielovitch). Other celebrities changed their names to protect their privacy. Natalie Hershlag was a famous child actress, but you have always known her as Natalie Portman. Some celebrities who use pseudonyms changed their names themselves just because they sounded better.This list of famous stage names includes celebrities who go by nicknames and famous people who have changed their names. It does not, however, include female celebrities who use their married surnames professionally, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/adopted-celebrities/carly-kiel?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous people who were adopted</a> by stepparents at a young age and had their names legally changed as children, or celebrities with obviously theatrical stage names, such as many wrestlers and eponymous artists.

While many grow up dreaming of becoming a famous celebrity one day, few actually get the chance to display their talents to the world on the big screen or dazzle audiences at red-carpet events. Despite the industry's cut-throat nature, some argue that there are a privileged few that have an easier time making their name in the Hollywood ranks. Specifically, those whose parents have already made a name for themselves and are <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/current-stars-with-famous-parents/carly-kiel">famous celebrities</a> with the best connections to agents, producers, and talent scouts.&nbsp;In 2022, media outlets repeatedly referred to these actors and models as “nepo babies,” claiming that much of their own stardom had little to do with their talent or ability and everything to do with who their parents knew. Naturally, the stars who also have celebrities for parents had <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/firsthand-accounts-of-famous-parents/ivey-nucilli">something to say </a>about the trend. While some acknowledged that it was much easier for them to catch their big break, others argued they had to work twice as hard to prove they were worthy of the roles they received.&nbsp;

History

Cameos have become a fun and expected trope in almost all new movies and shows. It&#39;s a visual shorthand joke; a quick wink to the audience. We have an already established relationship with this celebrity and now the juxtaposition of their appearance in the&nbsp;fictional world we were in the middle of is making a statement. Or the fact that there&#39;s just a bunch of cameos is funny by itself. See the&nbsp;later Austin Powers movies.

But not all cameos are created equal. While most are pop culture celebrities&nbsp;dropping by a friend&#39;s film set or the hot act of the day, there are some people that could qualify as legitimate historic figures: novelists, philosophers, film legends, members of all time great bands, actual royalty. This is what happens when cameos gets to the big leagues and historic names come to play.

We generally think of family movies as being the &quot;lightweights&quot; of the cinema world, but there have been plenty of amazing performances in kids&#39; movies. From actors who star in something because they want their own kids to be able to watch them to the many, many, many thespians who have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-played-scrooge/ranker-entertainment" target="_blank">essayed the part&nbsp;of Ebenezer Scrooge</a> over the years, there are lots of reasons why top-tier talent take&nbsp;on roles in movies aimed at young ones.

Just because a good actor is in a kids&#39; movie, though, doesn&#39;t mean their performance is anything special. Too often, talented actors take on roles in family films with an eye toward collecting a paycheck and not much else. Sometimes, though, the combination of talent and material is perfect, and an actor delivers an unforgettable, show-stopping performance in what could otherwise have been just another children&#39;s movie to clog video store shelves - back when there was such a thing. These roles tend to not only <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/overqualified-performances-in-parody-movies/jake-williams" target="_blank">elevate their material</a>, but often become defining moments in the actor&#39;s career.

Historical Figures

Perhaps the best way to complicate one&#39;s view of a notorious historical figure is to learn about their personal tastes. Even a person that you, and much of the public, may absolutely despise will have had interests that overlap with your own. Look no further than movies for some prime examples. Love&nbsp;Star Wars? So did a famous serial killer.&nbsp;The Godfather? You&#39;re in company with an Iraqi dictator. What about James Bond films? An infamous drug lord and a North Korean supreme leader were big fans -&nbsp;one even owned a box set. Have some warm nostalgia for cartoons like Tom and Jerry? A <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bizarre-obsessions-of-dangerous-dictators/mike-rothschild" target="_blank">Ugandan despot couldn&#39;t get enough</a> of that rascally cat and mouse.

The more <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-cruel-rulers-in-history/michael-anderson" target="_blank">ruthless the figure</a> and wholesome the film, the more shocking the connection. Although you may be tempted to dive into the psychology of each incongruous choice, just know people are people - even the worst ones require good entertainment.

Who are the top celebrity role models for girls? They're those famous females who encourage girls to be themselves and to stay true to their own thoughts and imaginations. They run their own world and make their own decisions.&nbsp;No one is perfect and celebrity role models for girls are certainly human. It’s because of this, not despite it, that artists and actress role models can best influence the badass women of tomorrow. This list aims to include both women who have always been positive role models, as well as those who have faced some tough times, scrutiny, and even scandal to come out on the other end even more successful and healthy than ever.The older ladies on this list have been around the block and can give some real life on surviving the slings and arrows of life. Betty White is one of the most positive celebrity role models for girls because she’s been scandal-free, hardworking, hilarious, and still popular as she approaches a century.Younger female actor role models can teach a master class on how to lead, too. Emma Watson is a UN ambassador and has been inspiring girls since her Hermione days. Her HeForShe campaign has put Watson on the world stage where she is happy to inspire and promote women. &quot;My recent research has shown me that 'feminism' has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists ... Why has the word become such an unpopular one?” Why, indeed, Miss Watson. P!nk, Ellen Degeneres, Leslie Jones, and Katharine Hepburn are examples of role models who inspire young girls to embrace both sides of their personalities. You can be a girly girl and then switch over to sports in a flash. You can be smart, nerdy, introverted, or a social butterfly. Just be yourself in all cases, according to these celebrity role modes for girls. In fact, Amy Poehler started an entire online community, <a href="http://amysmartgirls.com/" target="_blank">Amy Poehler's Smart Girls</a>, dedicated to this mission.Who leads the pack of the top artist and actress role models?
