Actors on the world stage
Jamie Foxx, Hilary Swank and Clint Eastwood, who all won academy awards this year, have all made it onto Time's list of the world's 100 most influential individuals. The top 100, published Monday by the venerable US news magazine, ranks these artists on a par with George Bush, Condoleezza Rice, the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela. The list of highflyers features artists, politicians and scientists from 31 countries. "It really shows the breadth of human endeavour," Time's managing editor Jim Kelly said. "Influence can be defined in a myriad of ways." Zhang Ziyi, Quentin Tarantino, Johnny Depp and Michael Moore also made it on the list. Fellow artists profiled the winners for Time. Sean Penn, who won a best actor Oscar thanks to Eastwood's Mystic River, described his former boss as "cinema's Mount Rushmore". Million Dollar Baby writer Paul Haggis said of Swank: "When Hilary is great ... you forget she isn't that role. You believe she is the girl who just happened upon the set before the cameras rolled." Oliver Stone, who directed Foxx in the American football drama Any Given Sunday complemented the actor's ability to "sing, dance, do both drama and comedy."
