4	Shelley Duvall	1,595,838	Actress Shelley Duvall broke out in the 1970s with Robert Altman-directed flicks like McCabe & Mrs. Miller and Nashville, had a supporting role in Annie Hall, and saw her two most famous roles in 1980, Olive Oyl in another Altman production, Popeye, and tormented wife Wendy Torrance in The Shining, while spending the rest of the decade creating renowed children's programming like Faerie Tale Theatre. Duvall took an extended hiatus from acting and public life in 2002 before doing an independent film, The Forest Hills, twenty years later, and has now died at the age of 75.

6	Jasmine Paolini	1,097,302	After losing the French Open final, this Italian tennis player remained strong in the following Grand Slam, reaching the Wimbledon final... which was another defeat, this time to Barbora Krejčíková (#13). At least Paolini will remain in the WTA rankings top 10, and have great expectations for the Olympic tournament.

13	Barbora Krejčíková	753,181	From English football to tennis in England, two females who exceeded at Wimbledon. First, the tournament champion, a Czech who is the only active player alongside Venus Williams to win Grand Slams in singles, doubles (her most successful discipline, a downright Career Super Slam alongside Kateřina Siniaková) and mixed doubles. Then, an underdog story comparable to Emma Raducanu, being another player with a multicultural background (Chinese mother and Croatian father) born in one country and raised in another (albeit this year she shifted from the Switzerland where she grew up to the New Zealand of her birth certificate) who reached the Wimbledon fourth round out of nowhere, and adequatedly it was against Raducanu herself, resurging after years of injuries and bad results! Ms. Sun then beat Raducanu in front of her home crowd (also guaranteeing Emma was the first off this list at #26) before the quarterfinals where Donna Vekić ended her Cinderella campaign.

16	Gladiator II	666,040	No one asked for this sequel. Specially if it was the batshit insane script written by Nick Cave (pictured), featuring Maximus fighting his way out of the afterlife. But Ridley Scott returned to Ancient Rome, with another story of a man captured, turned into a slave and then a gladiator, and has just released a trailer showing Paul Mescal as Lucius Verus (who in the first movie was only a child - his on-screen mom Connie Nielsen is one of two actors returning for part II) and two big supporting actors in Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington. Even if the sword and sandals epic had a rap song in its preview, it certainly showed some promise, to be answered when Gladiator II hits theaters in November.

19	Richard Simmons	617,845	Fitness guru Richard Simmons died at the age of 76, having grown famous in the 1970s and 1980s with gyms and aerobics videos, and having not made public appearances since 2014.
20	Mukesh Ambani	616,852
21	Indian 2	616,580
22	Inside Out 2	606,222	You've got me feeling emotions! - is probably what Riley would sing to Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger, as well as the new characters Anxiety, Embarrassment, Ennui and Envy, all of which administer her thoughts and actions throughout the girl's puberty. This weekend, Despicable Me 4 beat it at the box office, but Pixar's latest drew more pageviews to appear one more time on this list. Inside Out 2 is already approaching $1.3 billion and the top 20 highest-grossing films, and should have another strong weekend given the only big releases are #9 and Fly Me to the Moon - next week will be harder, as the movie with a whirlwind of anxiety will have the competition of actual tornadoes.
23	Joe Biden	586,892
24	Novak Djokovic	569,368	Closing it off with more tennis. First, the Serbian dominant force who is seeking his 25th Grand Slam title in a repeat of last year's Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz. And finally, a female player who won many titles between 1987 and 1999 (like compatriot #13 she won Grand Slams in all three disciplines: a Career Grand Slam in doubles, 3\4 of the Slams on mixed, and the Wimbledon singles once) and died at 49 of an ovarian cancer.
