Will people remember him 50 years from now?


People still talk about and there's merchandise of Elvis, Dean, McQueen, Monroe, Earnhardt, 2pac? Will people still remember Paul Walker?

As much as I love Paul as an actor and as a humanitarian, there is no way you can compare Elvis, who was massively famous for many, many years while he was alive. He was the first artist to bring a mixture of rock/soul/country/blues to the white population of United States, with an incredible voice and the first one to move in a sensual way--back then it was considered so, to the point that when he appeared on tv, he would be filmed from the waist up. Then he went Hollywood and though his movies were very mediocre at best, they had Elvis and his public went to see them.

Marilyn Monroe is what she is due to her great beauty and sensuality mixed with a huge dose of innocence which makes men go crazy for her and women instead of feeling jealous empathize with her. Her many movies, many which are great, with famous actors showcase her talent...but bottom line, not many people in Hollywood have had the charisma of Marilyn...or Elvis.

Paul, as gorgeous as he was, and as great a person as he was, had only a handful of good movies, and those he was famous for, the F&F series, will be left behind in the past. Not one of his movies is as great as it needs to be to be remembered fifty years from now.
