The IMDb can be compared to a search engine for actors and actresses. It has a Top Star Meter, which can vouch for the most popular celebrity at a certain period. It is able to use its functionality to gauge which celebrities are currently trending, as opposed to clearly establishing her popularity.
Gina Carano became a top star, ranking no.1 in this star meter which can anger her detractors who have relentlessly gone after the actress. Elizabeth Olsen also became top 1 as WandaVision became a major talk of the town. The actress recently became a target of cancel culture, but this was not exactly why she was dethroned.
The star meter proves that the popularity rankings doesn't require a celebrity to be ‘alive' to reach the top spots. Two of the recently departed (and beloved) iconic screen legends occupied the first and third spot. This knocked Olsen down to fifth place.
The dearly departed celebrities are Cloris Leachman, 94 and Cicely Tyson, 96.
Two recently departed screen legends occupy the first and third positions, knocking the previous titleholder Elizabeth Olsen down to fifth place in the process. Cloris Leachman and Cicely Tyson recently passed away within one day of each other at the ages of 94 and 96 respectively, with both of them leaving behind an indelible legacy for a variety of different reasons. Bot icons are no longer with us but their contributions to the industry will stay.
As for the Marvel star, she may soon get back her top spot as she is heavily backed by fans to get an Emmy nomination. The IMDb Star Meter is filled with many talented people, who are currently in projects generating major buzz.
That said, WandaVision airs every Friday.
