#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Beetlejuice (1988), who was the most famous actor in it at the time of release, and what other notable films were they in?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

I'll search for information about the cast of Beetlejuice (1988) to determine who was the most famous actor at the time of release.

Based on my research,

Alec Baldwin had a breakout year in 1988

, which was the same year Beetlejuice was released. While the film featured several talented actors, Alec Baldwin was arguably the most famous actor in Beetlejuice at the time of its release, given that

he made his film debut just a year prior to Beetlejuice's release

, meaning he had recently gained significant name recognition.

However, it's important to note that

Michael Keaton had gained early recognition for his comedic roles in Night Shift (1982), Mr. Mom (1983), and Beetlejuice (1988), and he gained wider stardom portraying the titular superhero in Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992)

Alec Baldwin's Notable Films:

Baldwin's famous credits include Jack Ryan in The Hunt for Red October, Blake in Glengarry Glen Ross, Jake in the rom-com It's Complicated, Ellerby in Martin Scorsese's The Departed, CIA Director Alan Hunley in the Mission: Impossible franchise, and his scene-stealing role as Shelly in The Cooler, for which he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor

. Additionally,

he's now best known for his Emmy-winning performance as NBC executive Jack Donaghy on the sitcom 30 Rock and for lampooning Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] 1988 was a breakout year for Baldwin (Beetlejuice, Married to the Mob, Working Girl), but Beetlejuice (March) was early in that run.

[2] Michael Keaton was the top-billed star and had headlined the hit 'Mr. Mom' (1983). Sylvia Sidney and Robert Goulet were also more famous historically. Baldwin was a rising actor from TV.

[3] This logic is flawed. Making a debut only one year prior (in 'Forever, Lulu', 1987) makes an actor a newcomer, not the 'most famous' person in a cast of veterans.

[4] Keaton was the established box office draw for the film. 'Mr. Mom' was a significant hit.

[5] The list of Baldwin's notable films is accurate.

[6] Baldwin's TV work on 30 Rock and SNL is correctly identified as his modern claim to fame.

#O MISSED POINTS & OVERSIGHTS

Medium

Sylvia Sidney's Legendary Status

The summary ignores Sylvia Sidney, a Golden Age Hollywood legend (worked with Hitchcock, Lang) who was arguably the most 'prestigious' or historically famous name in the cast.

Medium

Robert Goulet's Fame

Robert Goulet was a massive household name as a singer and entertainer, likely more recognizable to the general public in 1988 than Baldwin.

High

Michael Keaton's Box Office Status

The summary underplays Keaton's status. He was the 'movie star' attached to the project, having led 'Mr. Mom' to $64M box office success.
