For this quiz, we thought it would be fun to take a ride through Hollywood history and have a look at the most popular film stars over the years. These men and women were on the tip of everyone's lips over the decades from the 1930s through 2020s. Like all such quizzes, choosing and compiling the notable actors and actresses to represent each period of ten years was no easy feat. From the the Golden Age of Hollywood to the modern era, this quiz contains some of the best actors and actresses of all time, many of whom are Academy Award winners, as well as classic movie stars.

Whether you're 18 or 88, take a stroll through the past and check out the men and women in Hollywood that were popular during your birth year. Pick some of your favorite stars from each decade to find out which generation you would feel right at home in.
