Burning Question: What current star would have benefitted most from the Studio System?

This post is brought to you by agonizing advertisements for The Huntsman: Winter's War. Which looks dreadful.

Sometimes when I look at Charlize Theron, it hurts. She has such old school "MOTION! PICTURE! SPECTACULAR!" scale to her persona, this inarguable magnificence / screen beauty. The catch: she's almost never in movies that do anything for her when she's doing so much for them.

She might be my #1 choice for current star whose career is alright but would have been spectacular under the Studio System when star magnetism was carefully catered to, packaged, and regularly served up rather than an "extra" your random movie can sometimes benefit from.

Who is yours?

Lol Lamy Adams has zero charisma and star power, she'd be an extra during that time.

None of them, since traveling back in time is a fantasy? There are so many variables for anyone in show biz, and they all happen in messy real time.

Romola Garai just sprung to mind. She's wonderful in period drama, but is really quite a specific performer in a lot of ways.

Kristin Chenoweth is my obvious answer. She'd have an Oscar or two by now. Sutton Foster maybe as well.

Really late, but...

Alicia Vikander would have a JLaw-like career under the studio system, IMO.

And it's kind of branching outside of the question at hand, but... I also think Katy Perry could have had a decent side career as an actor in the studio system - she has a very Golden Era look about her. I'm not saying she would have been "one of the greats," but it would be fun to see.
