The Most Appealing Celebrity in America is____?

by Steve Levitt

Fill in the celebrity of your choice and you are probably way off target!

Could it be Oprah, Kim K., Sofia V., Clooney, Julia?????

Actually, it's Betty White!!  Believe it or not.  She achieved the highest Q Score in our most recent study of 1800 celebrities released in March 2012.  To be fair, however, she tied with Tom Hanks who has been at or near the top for 10 years running.

Betty White demonstrates remarkable staying power with high awareness, averaging nearly 70% recognition among all Americans since 2004.  As seen below, she has grown significantly in her appeal over the past 8 years.


2004 2007 2010 2012
  %   %   %   %
Positive Q Score   27   30   40   51
Negative Q Score   14   13   10     9


To say she is adored in her "Hot in Cleveland" role and other guest TV appearances during this time frame is clearly an understatement.
