Actors, actresses and even directors who are famous for a role, a movie, or even a picture from a movie, that would have been totally forgotten, except for movie connesseurs if they hadn't made that part, or been in that right place when a photo was taken, and so on.
An example:
I came to think of this since I noticed that Max Schreck was born 140 years ago. Max made another 40 movies or so that nearly nobody has heard about, and he continued to act in movies well into the sound age. but the reason we have heard about him is for one role, that of Graf Orlok in Nosferatu 1922
The young Max, who we would never had heard about if it wasn't for one specific role.
Other examples are Charles Ogle who acted in around 325 movies, remembered at least among horror fans as the first actor who played Frankenstein's creation, but nothing else.
Is it possible that we would have known about Giulietta Masina if it wasn't for La Strada and Nights of Cabiria?
Among directors, Gillo Pontecorvo who made The Battle of Algiers, or Marcel Camus who made Black Orpheus, those movies made them famous, but what else did they do?
Have any of you any other examples, old or new?
