Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

As of the selected ranking year, Faye Dunaway and Zendaya form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. Selected-year rank is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Zendaya holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

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