Especially Woody Strode. Never a star, really.

Ah, but the quest was of two great ACTORS. Not "stars". There usually is a difference between the two. If you want, replace Strode with Marvin, or Trade Marvin for Strother Martin or Lee Van Cleef, or put Qualen in there somewhere.

Replace Lee Marvin? Jeezus.

It is often useful to review the initial post related to a thread like this: "Sometimes there are two equally talented and popular actors paired together in a film. It is sometimes hard to figure out who is the lead since the story is shared equally by both. What are some of your favorites?"

Of course, one doesn't have to following the criteria as established by the OP.

Gable and Monroe in The Misfits

I haven't been following this thread, i am sort of odds with it, too many examples. Anyway, sorry if the above has already been posted.

Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck in The Lady Eve

They weren't both big at the time - only one was (because of The Graduate) - but they were sure both big after this came out and got them both Oscar nominated. And - they were the whole show in this.

Dustin Hoffman, Jon Voight - Midnight Cowboy (1969)

Watched a couple of westerns last night on the Movies! channel.

The first was Broken Arrow (1950, and filmed right here in Sedona AZ) with Jimmy Stewart and Jeff Chandler.

The second was Broken Lance (1954) with Spencer Tracy and Richard Widmark...although it also starred some young fresh-faced kid named Robert Wagner.

LOL

Yeah, it was. And in fact, the third western they showed was a real turkey that featured a young Jack Nicholson and was titled "The Broken Land" (1962).

(...could only take about 20 minutes of it before turning it off...the direction especially was horrible...it has an IMDb rating of "5.1")

Life With Father
Irene Dunne and William Powell

Cheaper By The Dozen, Myrna Loy, Clifton Webb

Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams in Awakenings (1990)

Sean Penn and Robert Duvall in Colors (1988)

Sean Penn, Christopher Walken - At Close Range (1986)

What's Love Got To Do With It

Angela Bassett and Lawrence Fishburne. ( I think they both deserved Oscars for this one )

Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster in Vera Cruz (1954)
