It says that they ranked at 19th & 22nd respectively.
What's the opposite ?
That they were wildly successful ?

Yes, a "teenage idol" who was too old to play a teenager.
There are many bizarre examples of actors / actresses playing the role of teenagers, while they were well into their twenties in real life.
James Dean was 24 when he appeared on "Rebel Without A Cause", Elvis was 23 in "King Creole", 26 in "Blue Hawaii", etc.
There is a 1956 film directed by Don Siegel, "Crime In The Streets", starring John Cassavetes. The film is about juvenile delinquency... but Cassavetes was already 26 years old !
He was young at heart though.
