Literally came to say this

 

And no Madonna for 1958?

[GraceRandolph]

1964 should probably be Kamala Harris.

You actually think Natalie Portman is more famous than Britney Spears?

[Rev8]

Baba Vanga was Bulgarian

I didn't expect the list to start in the Mesozoic era 

[Infernal Paradise]

The effort that went into this OP

 

Most of these feel correct. What's the source/methodology?

[Alongoria13]

Brigitte being labeled as "companion"

Russia gave her gold during their Olympics then her career ended and no one remembers her

 

[Saintlor]

Emma Roberts appearing twice on this list for both 1919 and 1991

According to who? No offense to whoever made this but this list is idiotic, and I'm saying this despite my fave pop girls being on there

She's been in two of the most famous franchises of all time and has been acting consistently since childhood, not to mention one of the most well regarded Oscar wins ever.

Okay but factually she's still not as famous as Britney Spears, sorry

Actually ignore me, my non-anglophone ass though renowned was strictly synonymous to acclaimed/high regarded but apparently it can also just mean famous.

Not to mention, Serena Williams was born that year. I would have picked her if Maria Sharapova got her own year.

[Taylena]

Lisa for 1997 but some random Russian skater over Jennie for 1996?

Some random Spanish actress for 2000 over aespa's Karina? 

And again some Russian skater nobody heard of being chosen over Haerin from NewJeans?

No shade to Natalie but to say she is more famous than Britney or Serena is wild

@Kavish Why are Olivia and Cardi listed as actors? They're primarily known as musicians

[UseYourIllusion2002]

No Madonna? Garbage list. 

[Franz Ferdinand]

Methodology?

[Cheers]

JLO is the same age as Celine??? I'm shocked

[king_queen]

All I know is 1981 invalidates this whole list
