The users of the famous IMDb platform (Internet Movie Database) have decreed who are their most beloved celebrities in cinema and TV. The stars who finished in the top 30 will certainly include some of your favorites, too. Have a look!
To understand how people got where they are on the list, it's important to note that IMDb is a user-based ranking site. This implies that whatever is trending in entertainment today may generate a spike in votes on the movie and TV platform.
Take, for example, the series 'Dahmer' on Netflix and the film 'Hocus Pocus 2' on Disney. As you will see, they had a big impact on this list!
In first place is Evan Peters, who had already occupied this position in the past. The actor returned to prominence with the Netflix thriller 'Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' in 2022. He also played an interesting role in 'Mare of Easttown' (2021).

Despite passing away in 1962, Marilyn Monroe continues to be one of the most loved and voted celebrities in the history of cinema. Twelfth position for her. A possible explanation for her high ranking in the list could be the renewed attention for Monroe through the biopic 'Blonde.'
