At this point in the rankings, Meg Ryan versus Sean Connery is best read as a compact career snapshot rather than an all-time verdict. The category score gives Sean Connery 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 Sean Connery the larger theatrical footprint. The comparison therefore points leans toward Sean Connery, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
