what modern and past stars are equivalents?

there are some modern actors/directors who fill the same kind of role, or do the same kind of movies as actors/directors of the past.

so what modern and past stars do you think are equivalents?


roberto benigni = charlie chaplin
pamela anderson = marilyn monroe

Roberto Benigni can't match what Charlie Chaplin does.

And for the last time, Cary Grant is not like modern day George Clooney!

Neither of these comparisons are accurate. And the first one is so heinous, it prevents me from participating further.

Nicholson = Gable is a good comparison.
Katharine Hepburn = Meryl Streep (Awards magnet, Classy, Long-lived career)
Jerry Lewis = Adam Sandler (Very popular in high concept formula comedies)
