the American star factory died.
From experience, I can tell you that in S. America, the American film industry stars, even though Brazil and Argentina had many of their own, shone far brighter.
At any time during the 20th century, you could go to an Italian city and mention a number of American actors and they would be known and beloved. Outside of a few sex bombs, Lolabrigida and Loren, the same wouldn't happen here. Same in France. England would be a bit different because of the cross-pollenation.
Now that I think of it, however, American blockbuster films still outperform most native films in most countries. Ahnie Terminator films; the Batmans; Spidermans. I don't know if the actors, outside of the Gov, are very well known, but the films are. The Rambo films also were world-wide sensations as were the Die Hard ones.
