Updated my initial post to reflect box office calculation.



The correct answer is Burt Reynolds.

From my book:

GUYS
Marlon Brando
Gregory Peck
Richard Burton
Kirk Douglas
Yul Brynner
Jason Robards
Clint Eastwood
Paul Newman
Dustin Hoffman
Lee Marvin
Sean Connery
Steve McQueen
Warren Beatty
Donald Sutherland
Michael Caine
Dennis Hopper
Gene Hackman
Rajesh Khanna
Bruce Lee
Robert Redford
Al Pacino
Robert De Niro
Robert Duvall
Burt Reynolds
Jack Nicholson
John Travolta
Gene Wilder
Woody Allen
Kamal Haasan
Gérard Depardieu
Harrison Ford

GALS
Charlotte Rampling
Anne Bancroft
Julie Christie
Jane Fonda
Glenda Jackson CBE
Pam Grier
Gena Rowlands
Jessica Lange
Faye Dunaway
Sissy Spacek
Sridevi
Barbra Streisand

But the biggest star was Reynolds.
I’m troubled by the fact that three of the actors you listed I have never heard of.



^Clint was a little more niche than we seem to think of him now. Westerns were popular but they weren't the biggest things going. I feel Clint's had a very slow climb since the 70s.
