Thanks for your perspective. But I think, depending on your generation, that you're out of

step, at least for boomers.
Cary Grant. Humphrey Bogart. John Wayne. Gary Cooper. Jimmy Stewart. Fred Astaire. James Dean.
Restricting myself to those few, who were JUST as famous around the world as in their own country. You do know that European directors and actors copied from them? Look at Godard's, "Breathless." Belmondo's character shamelessly mimics Bogart, as did many French gangster actors.
Certainly, some European actors became famous, but we're talking iconic stars, world-wide, aren't we?
Gabin. Huge in France, virtually unknown unless to serious film connoisseurs outside of it.
Burton (largely because of his American films) and several others are stars, but of a decidedly lesser magnitude.
I appreciate European film and actors as much as American ones, but the nod goes to Americans for star quality and quantity (we poached talent from Europe, yes, but they became great here, with a few exceptions).
I am a great fan of Aussie actors and directors, btw....
