The "50/50's"

There are some actors who have been deemed a "50/50", because they just happen to be a type who people either totally love or totally hate.

Here are three that I know of that are complete "50/50's":

Lucille Ball
Roseanne
Jim Carrey

Oooo, and the "biggie".....

Tim Allen
I have never met anyone who is "in the middle" on this guy.

Who are some "50/50's" you know of?

I love Divine. I've heard a lot of otherwise, though...mostly from the unenlightened.; ▶ Reply to This

Retract the claws! Aint no 'Jungle Red' going on in here!

Divine was divine, yes.....but Hairspray was mainstream, the other movies he did were not.
So, not a whole lot of people who may have liked Big D in Hairspray may have not liked the earlier stuff.
And vice versa for ones who loved the "bitch" Divine.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by leela42 on July 30, 2008 at 9:23pm: I like both of them -- pretty much right in the middle of the range. They're both good actors in my book.

That is one of the less attractive photos I've seen of Juliette Lewis, however. She was hilarious in Catch and Release, the most recent movie I've seen her in.

Haven't seen Peta Wilson in anything since The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.; ▶ Reply to This
