At this point in the rankings, Faye Dunaway versus Sissy Spacek is best read as a compact career snapshot rather than an all-time verdict. The category score gives Sissy Spacek the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Sissy Spacek the larger theatrical footprint. The comparison therefore points leans toward Sissy Spacek, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
