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

As of the selected ranking year, Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. The category score gives Jodie Foster 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 Helen Hunt's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. The comparison therefore points leans toward Jodie Foster, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
