This is one of those quizzes I will come back to now and again, just to see if I improve.

When I saw Shia LeBeouf, my first thought was, "Who is she?" After I looked him up I still have no clue why he would appear on this list - twice.

The Tranformers series Shia starred in was a ubiquitous box office success. That's what this quiz is asking for - who starred in the most profitable movies for the listed years i.e. which stars brought in the most money. In Shia's case it just happened it was the movies and not the star power that brought in the money.

I don't think any poll of this kind is valid if you do not include Morgan Freeman.

The question wording doesn't make sense anymore. Can you "NAME THE" actors and actresses. And it's weird that this has been updated.
