  • Julia Roberts Most Popular Movie Star
    THE HARRIS POLL® #62, Embargo Until December 19, 2001 JULIA ROBERTS MOST POPULAR MOVIE STAR First time in series (since 1993) that a woman has topped the list Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford in second and third place ______________________________________________________________________ by Humphrey Taylor Every year at this time since 1993 we ask a cross section of adults to tell us who is their favorite movie star. This year, for the first time, a female star, Julia Roberts tops the list. She is followed by Tom Hanks, who moves up from number six last year, and Harrison Ford, who was the nation's favorite star in each of the last three years (1998, 1999, and 2000). Last year Julia Roberts was in fourth place, and the year before that she was number eight. The other stars in this year's top ten are Mel Gibson (down from number three last year to number four), Sean Connery (up from number ten to number five), John Wayne (down from number two for the previous three years to number six), Clint Eastwood (down from number five to number seven), Denzel Washington (down from number seven to number eight), with Robin Williams and Sandra Bullock in positions nine and ten, respectively. The biggest changes since last year were: · Sean Connery up five places to number five. · John Wayne down four places to number six. · Tom Hanks up four places to number two. Bruce Willis (equal number seven last year), Arnold Schwarzenegger (number nine) and Robert DeNiro (equal number ten) all drop out of the top ten, as Robin Williams and Sandra Bullock move in.

  • Friday Night Lights”) and Oscar® Winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”) Star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros
    Sandra Bullock (“The Proposal”), Tim McGraw (“Friday Night Lights”) and Oscar® winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”) star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Blind Side,” which depicts the remarkable true story of All-American football star Michael Oher. Teenager Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) is surviving on his own, virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock). Learning that the young man is one of her daughter’s classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael—wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter—come out of the cold. Without a moment’s hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy home for the night. What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family despite the differences in their backgrounds. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. And as the family helps Michael fulfill his potential, both on and off the football field, Michael’s presence in the Tuohys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. “The Blind Side” is directed by John Lee Hancock (“The Rookie”), who also wrote the screenplay based on the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. Gil Netter, Andrew A. Kosove and Broderick Johnson produced the film with Molly Smith, Erwin Stoff and Timothy M. Bourne serving as executive producers. Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw star as Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, and Kathy Bates stars as Michael Oher’s dedicated tutor, Miss Sue.
