Are there any biopics of movie stars?


There are a lot of recent biopics of musicians like Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, Straight Outta Compton, etc. But why there're not many for famous successful actors?

The only one I can think of is The Disaster Artist, which while he's a director, scriptwriter, producer and an actor, Tommy Wiseau was not exactly what you would call a movie star.

Also that movie was bad, I got bored halfway in. It was just basically an overly long meme. To be fair, I've never watched The Room so I don't get all the fascinations.

Norma Jean & Marilyn (1996)
This one is kind of unusual. Not really a biopic. More like a fictionalized life story. Ashley Judd plays Norma Jean and Mira Sorvino plays her after she becomes Marilyn Monroe. Played off like a split personality.
