There’s something special about seeing a Hollywood legend not only survive the years but also live long enough to be celebrated through the annals of history. They’re the stars who have grown up right along with us, making us laugh, cry, and feel deeply until their very last moments on this earth. What if we take a moment to revisit these timeless icons—whose work has been seen on the small and big screens of our lives—and let their incredible lives inspire us to grow old with a smile, purpose, and dignity?

10. Norman Lear (101)

However, Norman Lear didn’t just change television; he also lived for more than a century. The man who brought us All in the Family and Good Times continued to make us think right up until the time of his passing at the ripe old age of 101. The man was an avowed supporter of democracy and the right to free speech, and he kept it simple when asked about his philosophy: “I get up and do the things that I like. That is my gift to myself.”

9. Kirk Douglas (103)

Not many men can be said to be “legendary” in the truest sense of the word, like Kirk Douglas. Best known for his role in the classic film “Spartacus,” the legendary actor lived to the ripe old age of 103, celebrating his birthdays surrounded by friends and family, and the occasional drink. He often credited his longevity to humor and kindness, saying they were “priceless gifts.”

8. Gloria Stuart (100)

Gloria Stuart had one of Hollywood’s longest career paths, from starring in 1930s movies to an Oscar nomination at 87 for Titanic. She lived to 100, still working through the 90s. Her daughter at one point said Stuart simply refused to accept illness, keeping a spirit of resilience and optimism to the very end.

7. George Burns (100)

Comedy legend George Burns was sharp (and funny) through the second century of his life. Renowned for his cigar and wisecracks, he planned to celebrate his 100th birthday with Las Vegas performances. Although illness forced cancellation, his sense of humor never left him. His philosophy: “If you love your job, you avoid stress and stress is what’ll get you.”

6. Bob Hope (100)

Bob Hope was Hollywood’s greatest entertainer, hosting the Oscars more often than anyone and amusing U.S. troops around the world. He reached 100 years of age, a feat he accomplished by sticking to morning strolls, rain or shine. His family attributed it not just to the exercise, but to a life of laughter that kept him in good health.

5. Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mother (101)

Even not an actress herself, the Queen Mother was a global icon and lived to the ripe age of 101. She believed in famously living each day as if it were your last, i.e., never missing out on the fun or the little things that make life exciting.

4. Eva Marie Saint (100 and counting)

One of the most amazing film phenomena of all time, Eva Marie Saint, winner of the Oscars for On the Waterfront and North by Northwest, had a 100th birthday that was more like turning 100 years young in 2024, and did not at all give the impression that she was going to decelerate. She is still very much involved with attending baseball games, visiting her family, and taking her daily walks. “I certainly don’t feel 100,” she proclaimed, suggesting that the best age-defier might be the right mindset.

3. Ellen Albertini Dow (101)

Ellen Albertini Dow, who was most notably known as the “rapping granny” from The Wedding Singer, had a beloved stage and screen career she created in her later years, especially in her 90s. She went on to live up to 101 years old and passed away, leaving behind a comedic legacy that included appearances from Seinfeld to The Wedding Crashers.

2. Glynis Johns (100)

The worldwide audiences could easily spot Glynis Johns the very moment they saw her as Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins. She left this world at 100 in 2024. Through her charm and quick wit, she used to say, “For each age I was very good looking,” and she was not far from the truth.

1. Jimmy Carter (100)

Jimmy Carter is mainly remembered for being the U.S. president, but his life outside the White House turned him into a cultural icon way beyond politics. He celebrated his 100th birthday in 2024 with concerts and testimonials, although he was under hospice care. Throughout his life, he was resolute in his commitment to service, faith, and the future, a heritage bigger than any office.

The Real Secret to Longevity

Not everything that Hollywood says about aging is true. The investigation into the Wizard of Oz “Munchkin” performers ended the confusion that their short stature meant that they died younger. What were the things that actually made a difference? Purpose, positivity, love, humor, and maybe a bit of luck.

Those moments lead us to think that the length of life is not just the years but also the quality one possesses. Laughter, through their misery, and their belief in the arts, they had learned the message that the greatest performance is a life well-lived.

Pride Month is about so much more than rainbow-colored outfits and parades – it is the opportunity to celebrate and honor the stories and voices of the queer community, and what better way to do that than to indulge in the wonderful world of LGBTQ+ content?

15. The Watermelon Woman (1996)

The Watermelon Woman is a landmark entry into cinema as well as queer history for director Cheryl Dunye. A mix of documentary, romantic comedy, and elements of drama, this film is full of humor as it tells the story of a video store clerk played by Dunye as she searches for information about a forgotten black actress of early Hollywood cinema. The Watermelon Woman is a bold film that is full of wit and is a must-watch.

14. Pariah (2011)

Dee Rees’s debut film is a deeply empathetic, ceaselessly brave coming-of-age memoir about a Black teenager who aspires to accept her orientation, and at the same time, she has to deal with family and cultural expectations in Brooklyn. The film is a masterpiece to show the lesser common traits of identity. The power with which Adepero Oduye delivers the message through her acting can hardly be forgotten.

13. But I’m a Cheerleader (1999)

The film that has been given a cult status is a visually bright satire that copes with conversion therapy with the use of camp and charm as tools. Natasha Lyonne is radiant in the role of Megan, a cheerleader through whose eyes we discover love (and the self) in the most unlikely manner. Apart from that, with the presence of Clea DuVall and RuPaul, it also becomes laugh-out-loud and sentimental.

12. Fire Island (2022)

Andrew Ahn’s romantic comedy has a feel of Pride and Prejudice all over it, only that it is set at a distinctively queer summer retreat. It follows a group of friends who are always together.’ The film is intelligent, comedic, and extremely queer- a modern love story that just radiates joy.

11. Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

Céline Sciamma’s sumptuous historical love story is one about forbidden love between an artist and her subject set in 18th-century France. Through its stunning visuals and dreadful yearning, it is a slow-burning masterpiece that haunts your heart.

10. Paris Is Burning (1990)

Jennie Livingston’s landmark documentary presents the viewer with the extravagant and innovative world of New York City’s ball culture, highlighting not only the creativity and resiliency but also the chosen families that were there to support one another, no matter what. In short, the film is for everyone interested in queer culture and the dynamics of the early years.

9. The Handmaiden (2016)

Park Chan-wook takes the story of Sarah Waters’s Fingersmith, and literally, with just the visuals, the retelling of the story is reversed, and it’s a thriller that ends up shocking the audience due to numerous plot twists when the background is Japanese-occupied Korea. Between the two is a passionate love affair that features cheating, control, and freedom.

8. Disclosure (2020)

Trans directors led this fascinating documentary, and among those who gave their voices for it was Laverne Cox. It is about Hollywood’s trans representation pattern going back beyond a century, and those trans people who met because of the film characters in the outside world. Eye-opening and deeply moving, it is a must-watch film.

7. Brokeback Mountain (2005)

Once upon upstream, there was the sad love story of Brokeback Mountain written tirelessly and beautifully by Ang Lee and acted by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. The film was the first to show the love of queer characters in a mainstream movie and, besides that, managed to touch many people emotionally, still to this day.

6. Moonlight (2016)

The first time I heard “Moonlight” was when Barry Jenkins won an Oscar for it. The life turns of Chiron, a black gay boy, become the director’s decision to tell a very compelling story of love, identity, and the struggle with traditional masculinity notions that keep reconstructing queer cinema paradigm.

5. The Old Guard (2020)

Another one of Gina Prince-Bythewood’s queer theater productions is The Old Guard, a superhero action film that is the darling of those who cannot stand the usual silent or invisible presence of queer characters in this kind of genre. Among the endless fight and adrenaline rush scenes, the love affair of Joe and Nicky remains one of the most outstanding moments that illuminated the whole film.

4 . Saving Face (2004)

Alice Wu’s nice romantic comedy features a confident Chinese-American woman who struggles to have a new relationship and meet her mother’s expectations at the same time. With its lovable and funny moments and the care given to the cultural aspect, it is one of the first narratives to put queer Asian American love front and center.

3. Pose (2018–2021)

In the creation of Pose, Steven Canals, Ryan Murphy, and Brad Falchuk are acknowledged for creating the opportunity for fashion and historical culture to intersect, as well as trans women of color, a historically marginalized group, to narrate their own stories in this series. This show is both enjoyable and groundbreaking through jaw-dropping acting and brilliant plot developments.

2. Carol (2015)

Todd Haynes’s glamorous and inventive miniseries adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel about Carol (Cate Blanchett) and Therese (Rooney Mara) explores the intense moments of their love story that are present as well as the history Rachel with Hannah watched in reverse. In short, it is one of the best queer love stories ever to be put on film, very mutually euphorically and heartbreakingly.

1 . Call Me By Your Name (2017)

What went on in the splendid Sicilian nature when Luca Guadagnino made his first, most beautiful, lyrical, wistful, and tender coming-of-age tale about first love, Elio and Oliver? Timothée Chalamet acted the character with such great power that the audience could feel the sharpest of desire and agony of loss in a nightmare-like way.

Queer cinema is a genre of film, not only based on watching it for pleasure one can get from watching it, but it is also a way of visibility, validation, and celebration. These movies and shows will forever be the proof that queer filmmaking is vibrant, alive, and here to stay, whether they are for those who love laughing, crying, or passionate love stories.

Sydney‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Sweeney appears to be everywhere these days—gracing your screens, dominating fashion features, and making waves across the digital world. But beyond the viral moments and the red carpet, Sweeney is also proving to be far more than simply the troubled teen or the privileged daughter of Hollywood royalty. By sheer force of will, Sweeney has managed to carve her own path through the industry, demonstrating a very natural and convincing talent that still shines through from a distance. Here are ten film and television roles that not only showcase her incredible vocal range but also her courage as a performer:

10. Christy Martin (Upcoming Sports Biopic)

Sweeney’s next role brings her the challenge of playing the part of Christy Martin, the pioneering boxing champion. It’s a far cry from the other roles she’s had to date, and the transition demands rigorous training, a physical transformation, and even the donning of the 90s fashion staple – the mullet haircut. It’s not simply a case of transforming to fit the role but also of demonstrating her ability to carry a gritty sports drama and dispel any lingering perceptions of the type of roles she should and should not be taking.

9. Sister Cecilia in Immaculate

Horror movies are currently all the rage, and Sweeney is jumping into the fray headfirst. In the movie Immaculate, Sweeney stars as a nun in an Italian convent where something dark and sinister lurks beneath the surface. She not only starred in the movie, she also produced it, making a $9 million budget into a box office smash hit of $27 million. It’s full of gore, suspense, and fright, and shows that Sweeney is willing to get her hands dirty, both on and off the camera.

8. Reality Winner in Reality

Playing whistleblower, Reality Winner demanded precision, subtlety, and an ability to channel real-life events with honesty. Sweeney fought for this part, and her performance is taut, understated, and unforgettable. It’s the kind of role that sheds all the glamour, proving she can hold her own in serious political drama.

7. Snake in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Tarantino’s ode to 1969 Los Angeles gave Sweeney a small but memorable part as Snake, one of the Manson Family members. Sharing a film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt was a career milestone—and a signal to the industry that she could seamlessly fit into big-name, big-budget productions.

6. Olivia Mossbacher in The White Lotus

As Olivia, the razor-tongued, know-it-all college student, Sweeney delivered one of the first season’s sharpest performances. Equal parts amusing and infuriating, Olivia earned her an Emmy nod and cemented her reputation as someone who can play entitled with just the right edge of vulnerability.

5. Cassie Howard in Euphoria

Cassie is the role that made her a household name—a heartbreak-prone teen whose messy love life and emotional spirals became both meme-worthy and deeply moving. The performance earned her another Emmy nomination, but it also risked boxing her into the “troubled girl” lane—one she’s been deliberately steering away from ever since.

4. Alice in Sharp Objects

Originally meant to be a brief appearance, her role as Alice—a fragile, damaged young woman in a psychiatric ward—grew as the director kept adding scenes to showcase her talent. Acting opposite Amy Adams, she left a haunting impression that lingered long after the credits rolled.

3. Eden Spencer in The Handmaid’s Tale

In one of her most quietly devastating performances, Sweeney played Eden, a devout young bride in Gilead whose tragic fate delivers an emotional gut punch. Innocent yet resolute, Eden was an early hint at Sweeney’s ability to portray heartbreaking sincerity.

2. Emaline Addario on Everything Sucks!

Placed in the ’90s, this short-lived Netflix show allowed Sweeney to showcase her comedic chops alongside touching moments. Playing drama club queen Emaline, she charmed the screen with charisma and emotional depth, and she was the standout in the ensemble.

1. Lana on Clementine

Leading the pack is Lana, an enigmatic and intriguing young woman in the indie drama Clementine. Her multi-faceted performance—part vulnerability, part mystery—grounds the film’s subtle tension and makes it one of her most underappreciated films.

Sydney Sweeney’s career up to this point is an exercise in not being typecast. Whether she’s wearing a habit, sporting boxing gloves, or subtly peeling away a character’s most profound vulnerabilities, she infuses every role with an intensity and authenticity that’s hard to deny. One thing is for sure—she’s just beginning.

Amazon Prime Video is a vast cinematic playground full of surprises and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. From blockbuster productions to quirky indie flicks that flew under the radar, there’s something for all tastes. If you’re looking for something bold, heartwarming, or just uniquely bizarre, here are 15 of the best underrated flicks currently available for streaming on Prime Video, featuring a mix of critical darlings, festival standouts, and must-watch flicks you won’t want to miss.

15. The Voyeurs (2021)

The voyeurism thriller, which was once a staple of the 1990s, is back in the form of The Voyeurs. Starring Sydney Sweeney and Justice Smith as the young couple obsessed with the scandalous lives of their neighbors, The Voyeurs is like Rear Window updated to the era of smartphones, neon lights, and moral decay. It is stylish, clever, and, yes, quite gripping, as it draws you in and makes you a voyeur, watching even though you really should not be watching.

14. Afternoon Delight (2013)

Kathryn Hahn is fantastic in this smart and touching dramedy, playing a discontented wife who becomes an unlikely friend to a stripper, played by Juno Temple. What begins as prurient interest soon leads to a thought-provoking exploration of desire and change. Smart and sensitive, the film shows us that self-discovery is rarely straightforward and often arrives at the most unexpected times.

13. The Handmaiden (2016)

Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden is cinematic sin a maze of love, deceit, and manipulation in 1930s Korea. Based on Sarah Waters’ Fingersmith, the film winds and turns with each scene, all of them being jaw-droppingly stunning. Each betrayal reads like a verse, each shot an artwork. Dark, erotic, and painstakingly made, it’s one of the most entrancing thrillers of the 21st century.

12. The Tender Bar (2021)

Ben Affleck is most likable in The Tender Bar as a wisecracking bartender who takes on an unlikely mentorship role with his nephew. Directed by George Clooney, this coming-of-age drama is about family, ambition, and finding your path one drink and one tale at a time. It’s warm, nostalgic, and quietly uplifting, the sort of movie that catches you off guard with its honesty.

11. Paterson (2016)

Jim Jarmusch’s Paterson is a paean to the purity of routine and creativity. Adam Driver drives a bus (named Paterson) part-time and poetically in between shifts, recording tiny miracles that occur in quotidian life. Nothing blows up here except feeling in its mildest expression. It’s peaceful, hilarious, and profoundly moving, with a soulful directness that sticks with viewers long after they leave the theater.

10. Blow the Man Down (2020)

Think Fargo meets Gilmore Girls. This darkly comedic neo-noir tracks two sisters in a coastal Maine town who kill a man by accident, and also discover the dirty secrets of their community. The movie’s blend of offbeat humor, small-town danger, and powerhouse performances by June Squibb and Margo Martindale make it one of Prime’s most criminally overlooked gems.

9. My Old Ass (2024)

Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella lead this sweet, time-traveling dramedy about a teenager who encounters her 39-year-old self while on a mushroom trip. What might have been a gimmick becomes a moving exploration of regret, development, and the bittersweetness of knowing your own future. It’s funny, sad, and deeply serious, a trip it’s worth taking.

8. The Lost City of Z (2016)

James Gray’s sweeping epic tracks the actual explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) into the depths of the Amazon in pursuit of a fabled city. The end product is an otherworldly, visually breathtaking coming-of-age story about obsession and discovery. Half Heart of Darkness, half Lawrence of Arabia, it’s a movie that makes you feel the summons and price of the unknown.

7. Sound of Metal (2020)

Riz Ahmed delivers a stunning performance as a drummer whose life falls apart when he starts to lose his hearing. Immersive sound design and genuine representation of the Deaf community make Sound of Metal more than a movie; it’s an experience. Raw, compassionate, and quietly life-changing, it’s one of Prime’s finest achievements.

6. Suspiria (2018)

Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s horror masterpiece substitutes neon gore for a dark, hellish fever dream. In a Berlin dance school with sinister supernatural origins, Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton (appearing in multiple roles!) lead the cast in a tale of art, manipulation, and witchcraft. It’s long, weird, and mesmerizingly ambitious, a mesmerizing movie that you will never forget.

5. Annette (2021)

Half rock opera, half surreal bad dream, Annette teams Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard in a story of fame, love, and jealousy with a singing puppet baby thrown in. Leos Carax’s musical is euphorically offbeat, by turns moving and maddening. It won’t be for all, but for those who give themselves over to its beat, it’s an unshakeable movie high-wire act that never glances down.

4. Deep Cover (2025)

Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed lead this witty British caper about improvisational actors who are recruited by the police to go undercover inside a criminal organization. What ensues is an absolutely superb, rapid, self-referential, and actually quite funny farce. It’s a testament that comedy as an art form can exist, particularly when the tension is preposterously high.

3. Nosferatu (2024)

Robert Eggers reawakens the undead in his reimagining of the 1922 horror classic. Bill Skarsgård’s Count Orlok is both monstrous and tragic, while Lily-Rose Depp brings haunting depth as his obsession. Every shadow, every whisper drips with gothic atmosphere. It’s terrifying, elegant, and beautifully deranged, exactly what you’d hope from Eggers.

2. American Fiction (2023)

Jeffrey Wright gives one of the career’s highlights as a disheartened writer whose satirical “Black” book is a huge commercial success. American Fiction skewers the publishing world’s love affair with stereotypes and manages to mix sharp wit and sincere feeling. It’s a far cry to hear that a comedy was this intelligent and this affecting at the same time, and even farther to not be able to stop thinking about it afterwards.

1. Challengers (2024)

Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor set the screen ablaze in Luca Guadagnino’s chic tennis drama of love, competition, and ambition. Real competition isn’t just on the court, it’s in each look, each line, each ricochet of desire. Powered by a pulse-throbbing score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Challengers is as much sensual as taut, as thrilling.

Prime Video’s catalog is a cinematic buffet, a little bit of everything, for every mood. Whether you’re chasing wild stories, emotional gut punches, or bold filmmaking that refuses to play it safe, these 15 films prove the platform is packed with overlooked brilliance just waiting to be streamed.

Hollywood has provided viewers with many unforgettable performances, but not all roles have gone as planned, either for the actors or for viewers. Some roles can be attributed to miscasting, while for others, it could be due to a lack of cultural sensitivity. Many actors have, over the years, looked back on their roles and wished they could change some of them. The cases of these 16 actors are a clear reminder of the significance of thoughtful casting, accountability, and awareness.

16. Halle Berry – Considering a Trans Man Role

The actress Halle Berry was criticized when she was rumored to be playing the role of a trans man in an upcoming film. Many in the trans community and their supporters felt the role should be played by a trans actor, which is why Halle Berry stepped down from the film and apologized.

The actress understands the significance of the representation and the fact that she should not have been in the film. Halle Berry’s move is a highlight in the long discussion in Hollywood about who gets to represent the stories of marginalized communities.

15. Ed Skrein – Hellboy Whitewashing Controversy

The actor, Ed Skrein, was originally set to play the role of Major Ben Daimio in the Hellboy reboot, a character who is Japanese American in the comics. However, the casting of the actor in the role was criticized for whitewashing, and the actor himself has since decided to step down from the role, saying that the role should be played by an actor of the character’s heritage.

The decision by the actor to step down from the role has been praised, and it is an important case of an actor being aware of the power he has and the importance of using it for the greater good. The controversy has also brought to the forefront the whitewashing problem that Hollywood is facing.

14. Jimmy Kimmel – Blackface Sketches

Jimmy Kimmel’s past comedy sketches included blackface, which resurfaced and drew significant backlash. Kimmel publicly apologized, acknowledging that the performances were offensive and inappropriate.

The incident reignited discussions about the legacy of blackface in American comedy. His apology was part of a broader reckoning in entertainment, highlighting the responsibility of comedians to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

13. Julianne Moore – Playing a Lesbian in The Kids Are All Right

Julianne Moore starred as a lesbian mother in The Kids Are All Right, a performance that earned critical acclaim. However, she later expressed uncertainty about taking similar roles in the future, reflecting on the importance of LGBTQ actors portraying LGBTQ characters.

Her comments demonstrate Hollywood’s growing awareness of authentic representation. The conversation around this continues, balancing the opportunity for talented actors with the need for lived experience in storytelling.

12. Alison Brie – Voicing Diane Nguyen in BoJack Horseman

Alison Brie voiced Diane Nguyen, a Vietnamese American character, on BoJack Horseman. Years later, she admitted regret, recognizing that the role should have been cast with an actor of Vietnamese descent.

Her acknowledgment came amid a wider push in the animation industry for authentic representation. Brie’s reflection emphasizes that inclusion matters not just on screen but behind the microphone as well.

11. Kristen Bell – Voicing Molly in Central Park

Kristen Bell originally voiced Molly, a biracial character in Central Park. Following criticism, she stepped down, stating that the character should be voiced by someone who shares her racial background.

The role was recast with Emmy Raver-Lampman, a Black actress, and the move was widely praised. Bell’s decision reflected the growing expectation that characters of color should be voiced by actors of color, promoting both authenticity and equity.

10. Jenny Slate – Voicing Missy in Big Mouth

Jenny Slate was initially the voice of Missy, a biracial character. Over time, however, Jenny Slate realized that her involvement in the show was part of the problem of a lack of authentic Black voices in animation. This was a positive step towards a better approach to storytelling.

The character was recast with Ayo Edebiri after Jenny Slate stepped down. The decision was well-received as a step in the right direction. Jenny Slate’s decision was a good example of actors recognizing their mistakes and helping to create a better and more thoughtful approach.

9. Anne Hathaway – The Witches and Disability Representation

Anne Hathaway starred as the Grand High Witch in the 2020 adaptation of The Witches. Critics argued that the character’s physical differences reinforced negative stereotypes about limb differences.

Hathaway issued a public apology, expressing regret and committing to do better in the future. The controversy sparked broader discussions about disability representation in Hollywood and the need for more thoughtful portrayals.

8. Hank Azaria – Voicing Apu on The Simpsons

Hank Azaria voiced Apu Nahasapeemapetilon for decades, but the character became controversial for perpetuating South Asian stereotypes. Azaria eventually stepped down and apologized publicly for his portrayal.

He recognized that his performance contributed to harmful representation, prompting The Simpsons to commit to casting actors of color for characters of color. The Apu controversy remains a key moment in conversations about diversity and inclusion in animation.

7. Jimmy Fallon – Blackface on SNL

Jimmy Fallon was accused of a sketch aired on SNL, in which he played Chris Rock in blackface. The video was shared again after a number of years and caused a lot of controversy and discussion about racial sensitivity in comedy.

Jimmy Fallon apologized for his actions in a public statement and admitted that his actions were wrong and offensive. The controversy caused a lot of discussion in the industry about content created using racial stereotypes.

6. Rooney Mara – Playing Tiger Lily in Pan

The movie Pan starred Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily, but this did not sit well with many people, especially considering the whitewashing of the Native American role. Rooney Mara played Tiger Lily, but many people felt that an Indigenous person should have played the part.

However, Rooney Mara admitted that an Indigenous person should have played the part, indicating that many people were right in their criticism of the movie. It is important to note that Rooney Mara’s statement served as an important reminder of the need for authenticity in movie production.

5. Zoe Saldana – Portraying Nina Simone

Zoe Saldana received criticism for her portrayal of Nina Simone in the biopic. She was criticized for her use of dark makeup to portray the singer. It was argued that an actress of dark complexion should have played the role of Nina Simone.

4. Scarlett Johansson – Trans Role in Rub and Tug

Actress Scarlett Johansson was initially given the part of playing a trans man in the upcoming film Rub and Tug. This caused an immediate backlash because many people felt that the part should be played by a trans actor.

In an attempt to rectify the problem and calm the backlash, Johansson announced that she was withdrawing from the part. This was a turning point in Hollywood and helped shape the way in which they handle similar roles in the future.

3. Jake Gyllenhaal – Prince of Persia Whitewashing

Jake Gyllenhaal was also given the role of the Persian hero in the film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. However, the film received a lot of criticism on the basis of whitewashing. Many felt that the role should have been played by an actor of Middle Eastern descent to respect the character’s culture.

However, Gyllenhaal would go on to admit that he should not have taken the role, citing the importance of cultural representation in film casting. The film has since been used to illustrate the whitewashing issues that Hollywood continues to grapple with in its productions.

2. Gwyneth Paltrow – Fat Suit in Shallow Hal

Gwyneth Paltrow wore a fat suit during her role in Shallow Hal, which is now criticized for fat-shaming and body image insensitivity. The body image and comedy of the movie do not stand the test of time, encouraging discussions about body image and comedy.

Paltrow confessed that she was embarrassed by her role, which she now regrets. It is evident that body image and body diversity values of Hollywood have come a long way, encouraging sensitivity.

1. Emma Stone – Playing Allison Ng in Aloha

Emma Stone was given the role of Allison Ng, a character who was half Asian and half Hawaiian, in the movie Aloha. This decision was met with instant backlash since Stone did not identify with the character’s ethnicity, leading to an important discussion on race in Hollywood.

Emma Stone has since apologized for taking up the role, stating that she should not have done that and that she has learned a lot from the backlash. This situation has led to an important discussion on the need for accurate representation in Hollywood, especially when it comes to mixed-race or Asian roles.

Hollywood is evolving, and so are the conversations around representation and authenticity. These actors’ reflections show that even mistakes can lead to growth—both for performers and the industry. By acknowledging past missteps, they’re helping pave the way for more inclusive, respectful, and thoughtful storytelling on screen.

While in Hollywood, star power really does speak for itself in some cases, there are some actresses who quite literally tower above the rest of their peers. When one considers that the average height of an American woman is 5’4″, it becomes apparent that a handful of these leading ladies are significantly taller than their co-stars in film and television, as well as on the red carpet and in everyday life. Who are the 10 tallest actresses making a splash in Tinseltown?

10. Jennifer Lawrence – 5’9″ (175 cm)

Jennifer Lawrence is 5’9″, which is just one inch shy of the six-foot figure. This makes her stand tall and tall in every sense of the word. Her portrayal of the character in the Hunger Games series not only proved her acting capabilities but also her strength and power as an actress. Whether she is playing the role of an action heroine or the female lead in a romantic comedy, Lawrence is sure to make an impact due to her height.

9. Ann Colter – 5’9″ (175 cm)

Ann Coulter, though more popular for her scathing political commentary, has also left her mark on the entertainment industry with her role in Sharknado 3 and her regular spot on daytime talk shows. At 5’9”, Coulter’s height is the perfect match to her larger-than-life personality, ensuring that she never blends into the crowd. It is not only her bold ideas that make her impossible to ignore; her height and voice make her stand out in the entertainment industry, whether people love her or hate her.

8. Stephanie Corneliussen – 5’11” (180 cm)

Model and actress Stephanie Corneliussen of Denmark is the one who blends the European touch and toughness with the glamor of Hollywood. She is almost six feet tall, and her unusual looks and impactful aura have made her very popular on Mr. Robot and American Horror Story, where her image complements the darker and more mysterious aspects of the plot, gaining her recognition. The combination of her modeling career and her acting skills makes her one of those artists who can effortlessly dominate fashion shoots and complex TV characters.

7. Whitney Cummings – 5’11” (180 cm)

The very presence of Whitney Cumming, who is one of the best things that comes with height, is the whole package of confidence and a sense of humor. The 5’11” tall stand-up comedian, writer, and actress has turned their sharp wit and elevation to their advantage on shows like Whitney and 2 Broke Girls. Rather than trying to hide her distinct quality of appearing, she often jokes about it, and thus, what other people might see as a downside is what she uses in her stand-up.

Mariel Hemingway, the daughter of the one and only film director and granddaughter of the literary icon Ernest Hemingway, has carved her path in Hollywood with her remarkable acting talent.

Honorable Mentions – Other Tall Queens

Numerous tall actresses in Hollywood are tall, and these top 10 countdown actresses narrowly miss the list. Lucy Lawless, who achieved fame as the warrior woman in Xena: Warrior Princess, is 5’11” tall and always looks powerful and confident. Abbey Lee was a very strong presence both in Mad Max: Fury Road and The Neon Demon, thus the actress, who is almost six feet tall, had quite the inimitable one for the screen.

Swedish actress Lena Olin and Vikings star Alyssa Sutherland are the ones who prove that height can be an added layer of depth to an already impressive skill set. And of course, Sigourney Weaver is there too — at 5’11”, she wasn’t long in helping to define the female action star category with her landmark role in Alien as Ellen Ripley.

Just being tall will not turn an actress into a star; however, it might be the reason that gives her a unique characteristic, which enables her to be noticed among the others. Not only are these ladies not tearing down their physiques, but they are also doing it to their advantage, reminding us that talent comes in all sizes.
