As of the selected ranking year, Jessica Lange and Robert De Niro form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. The category score gives Robert De Niro 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 Robert De Niro the larger theatrical footprint. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Robert De Niro, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
