Hart's strong, silent Westerner, Douglas Fairbanks' swashbuckling adventurer, and Rudolph Valentino's Latin lover. Their mantles were picked in the 30s by Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn and Charles Boyer respectively.

Fonda concedes that although the studio system that produced these stars has disappeared, the public's need to identify with performers will create the new stars of the future, and speculates which of the current breed of actors and actresses (Shirley Maclaine, Warren Beatty, Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, Natale Wood, etc.) will be the stars of tomorrow.
