At this point in the rankings, Glenn Close versus Julia Roberts is best read as a compact career snapshot rather than an all-time verdict. The category score gives Julia Roberts 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 Glenn Close's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Julia Roberts and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
