As of the selected ranking year, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Faye Dunaway form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Catherine Zeta-Jones the larger theatrical footprint.

The category score gives Faye Dunaway the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Faye Dunaway, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
