75 years from now, who will we know and remember?

Someone at Carole & Co. found the August 1934 issue of Photoplay magazine, including the "13 Most Irresistable Women" in Hollywood at the time. Looking at it, I found myself thinking about the fact that it's almost 75 years later, and I know about two-thirds of the names on the list. I can easily conjure mental images of about half.

So I'm wondering, who in today's Hollywood will still be recognizable 75 years from now. I'll probably be dead---and so will you, sorry to bring you down---but will our (hypothetical) grandchilden know the names of...Julia Stiles and Claire Danes?

I tend to doubt it. Call me a dinosaur if you must-somebody else already has today...
