Actors forever associated with certain roles or movies

[Salemdog]

Was just thinking of this the other day. Notice how some actors or actresses are associated with a role. If you name them to the average joe on the street usually one movie will pop up. Now sometimes you may get two movies roles but on the average just that one will be named no matter what else the star has done.

Example. No matter how many great films James Stewart has done if you mention his name what's the film that people will think of? It's a Wonderful Life.

Actress? Julia Roberts....Pretty Woman.

Now I know that being film buffs here some may think of another just from having a favorite role outside the norm. But on the average what are some roles you can think of that the average film watcher will associate with an actor or actress?

Whenever Jamie Lee Curtis is brought up, Halloween follows. If not that one the second one I hear most following her is True Lies.

I think its too bad that he has not been Pee Wee for a long time. According to Wikipedia, his last appearance as Pee Wee was 1992 for a tribute to Minnie Pearl at the Grand Ole Opry. But there is good news, a new Pee Wee movie is in the works. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0837156/
