The 2026 comparison presents Demi Moore and Kathy Bates through the ranking data available at that point in time. The category score gives Kathy Bates the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Kathy Bates's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Kathy Bates without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
