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

The 1989 comparison presents Robert De Niro and Glenn Close through the ranking data available at that point in time. Selected-year rank is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Glenn Close holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Glenn Close's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. The comparison therefore points stays evenly split, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
