Love Angelina Jolie’s movies? Of course not. Why, exactly, is Angelina Jolie so famous?

In today’s column I ask the most pressing issue of our time: why, exactly, is Angelina Jolie so famous? https://t.co/0QF0W3WIVr

The Guardian says it’s been years since Angelina was in a film worth watching, but she has made being a celebrity its own art form

RE: ONTD, is Angelina Jolie the A list most famous actress with the weakest filmography?

Not when Blake Lively and Katie Holmes exists. And the countless men coasting by.

Angelina's career and her level of fame are far more mismatched than Blake and Katie's (I wouldn't even call Katie A-list). And OP was only asking about actresses.

lmao. I agree. Angelina may not have a strong filmography but there are definite contenders out there that don't even have one or two things that made a real splash in cinema.

I feel Blake keeps a low-profile now because she's secured her spot as part of a status couple (even though they are nowhere near the level that Brad and Angelina were). Back in the Gossip Girl days ... the time of that cinema-esque field trip with Leonardo to Italy ... she was definitely playing the game.

I don't think Blake Lively was ever A list.

I don’t think Blake Lively is A-list, although she’s on the cusp of it.

There are definitely a lot of men who can be named here but Blake Lively does not have household name recognition like Jolie. GG wasn't that popular and she has nearly 9 million fewer followers than Ryan.

Katie purely because of TC so if held up her picture to people on the street, the majority would know her face but not her name.

But nearly everyone knows who Angelia Jolie is.

Is Katie Holmes A-list anymore?

Katie Holmes probably gets asked for ID when buying wine. She is NOT a-list and never was.

I don't think blake lively and katie holmes are considered A list, not even at their peak.

They’re not even close to the level of Angelina. Not outside of North America at least
