Julia Roberts’s performance in Pretty Woman” was enough to convince some people she’ll be the biggest actress of the ’90s.
She was the top woman pick for stardom in a Movieline magazine survey of college students while Tom Cruise was chosen as the top male star of the decade.
”˜”˜We were surprised to see that Harrison Ford and Cher didn’t make it in the top 10,” Movieline Editor Edward Marguiles said.
”˜”˜Cruise was an obvious choice but Roberts seem s to have done well mainly since her hit ”˜Pretty Woman’ was released just before we did the poll earlier this summer.”
After Ms. Roberts, the survey said the top women stars of the ’90s, in order, will be Meg Ryan, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder, Kirstie Alley, Kim Basinger, Bette Midler, Madonna, Alyssa Milano of “ Who’s the Boss” and Kathleen Turner.
Cruise was followed by River Phoenix, Alec Baldwin, Mel Gibson, Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks, Fred Savage of “ The Wonder Years,” Keanu eeves, Christian Slater and John Cusack.
