Great topic for a showdown!!

Probably more than others a very American area and for sure a topic in which it becomes quite obvious what a subjective sub-world of stardom-narration each of us creates through watching art in general but film specifically.

For once my favorite moment is in a "Quality-TV-era"-series. My most memorable cameo-moment is Fats Domino in Treme. In general, looking at the list, old (male) legends being pratctically filmed while dying scores pretty high with me. Also the list rises two questions (amongst others) for me: 1. How is the cameo linked to masculinity? And how do more female-gaze-cameos look like? Like Cindy Sherman in visual arts, in movie-cameo-art you have male heroes like Hitchcock, Stan Lee or Jarmusch, Korine, Herzog. But female views being obsessed with ideas around cameos? Why can't I wrap my memory too much about Varda, Cher or Madonna when I think of cameos even if they seem to fulfill a lot of my favorite criteria?
2. The second question is linked to this and can be viewed throughout the list: what can still be considered a cameo and what is "too fictionalized" or even already a whole movie about a persona and thus more a bio-fiction, documentary or mockumentary.

Definitely missing because not having watched it:
When it sizzles (Marlene Dietrich)
