Many years ago, using the weekly TV guide that came with the Sunday Chicago Tribune, I started keeping track of all of the movies I had seen over the course of my lifetime. The guide would list the two main stars for each movie, and that is a tradition that I’ve carried on in my database ever since. So, given those guidelines, it is time to look at the most prolific actors that have starred in the movies that I have seen in the first half of the decade of the 1990s, corresponding with the end of high school and the transition into college.
1991
| Name | Films |
|---|---|
| Raymond Burr | 4 |
Gosh darn that Perry Mason and its ongoing dominance in this particular category.
1992
| Name | Films |
|---|---|
| Raymond Burr | 3 |
Guh
1993
| Name | Films |
|---|---|
| Raymond Burr | 3 |
GUH!
1994
| Name | Films |
|---|---|
| Bridget Fonda | 4 |
A very busy year for Bridget Fonda as she breaks Raymond Burr’s stranglehold, mostly due to his death in 1993. Fonda starred in Bodies, Rest & Motion, Point Of No Return, Leather Jackets, and It Could Happen To You.
1995
| Name | Films |
|---|---|
| Billy Crystal | 3 |
| Michael Douglas | 3 |
| Michael Keaton | 3 |
| Sharon Stone | 3 |
Our first tie of the 90s, each coming in with 3 movies apiece. Crystal made it with the critically maligned Mr. Saturday Night, Forget Paris, and City Slickers II. Douglas scored with Disclosure, Basic Instinct, and Coma. Keaton earned his place with Speechless, One Good Cop, and The Paper. Sharon Stone nabbed the only 3 starring roles that I’ve seen, with Basic Instinct, The Specialist, and Sliver.
