Harrison Ford Named Most Popular

When it comes to
celebrities, the American public can be unforgiving.
How else to explain why John Wayne, dead these past
20 years, managed to come in second on a list of
America's favorite stars, while Kevin Costner, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, and Richard Gere didn't even make the
cut? The Duke was runner-up to Harrison Ford, who was
voted the country's No. 1 star. The annual Harris
poll, released Tuesday, revealed that the 56-year-old
Sexiest Man Alive was the top choice of the 1,010
adults surveyed. The big-screen icon also was tops
with the all-important, marketer-friendly 18 to 24
crowd. The very much alive Mel Gibson was third after
Wayne, while Clint Eastwood (No. 1 last year) and Tom
Cruise tied for fourth. Rounding out the Top 10 were
Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Sean Connery, Denzel
Washington, and Wesley Snipes. Women didn't fare very
well in the rankings, with Julia Roberts the
highest-charting actress, coming in a dismal No. 15.
