The list was first published in 1999 as a result of a debate between American academics, politicians and journalists and is now a highly publicized annual event.
Appearing on the list, which is ultimately chosen by Time editors, is often seen as an honor, regardless of the consequences of their actions.

In her article on Coolidge for Time, Farrow revealed that the two ladies first met last year while filming the Netflix series The Watcher on a soundstage in Brooklyn.
After confessing that she had long admired Coolidge and her work as an actress, Farrow would go on to highlight the qualities she says are why “everyone falls in love with her,” including “her eccentric mannerisms, hilarious improvisations and, the most of all, painful vulnerability.”
Farrow further boasted that Coolidge’s “honesty and kindness make her a friend everyone should have.”
Farrow first gained recognition for her role as Allison MacKenzie on the soap opera Peyton Place (1964-1966).
But she would see her star rise as the leading lady in the classic psychological horror film Rosemary’s Baby (1968), which was only her fourth film role.
