John
Wayne makes No. 2 in Poll
WASHINGTON,
Jan 5, 1999 (Reuters) - Harrison Ford is America's favorite
movie star, according to a poll released on Tuesday, with the late
John Wayne coming in second place.
The
annual Harris poll, based on interviews with 1,010 adults, found
that Ford, the star of blockbusters such as ``Raiders of the Lost
Ark'', ``Witness'', and the Indiana Jones movies, was the number one
choice among people aged 18 to 24 as well as for
American adults overall.
Western movie superstar John Wayne, who died in 1979, was the second
most popular star, ahead of Mel Gibson who came third and Clint
Eastwood and Tom Cruise who shared fourth place. Eastwood had topped
the list last
year.
