I consider Angelina an icon. She has the potential to become a legend when she dies.
For whatever reason, I think it's more difficult for actors and actresses to really attain legend status. And the few that I think truly deserve such a title are, in many ways, more remembered for their personal lives/exploits, or beauty/style, than their actual acting talent and performances. There's nothing wrong with that, and it's not something that's unique to the acting world; plenty of legendary musicians are remembered more for their celebrity or style than musical output. But there are really only a handful of actors/actresses that are commonly referred to as legends. By contrast, every musician who's had any sort of impact, released an album of critical acclaim, or (most importantly) died has been deemed a legend by some person/publication, even if they were, in the scheme of things, relatively inconsequential.
