Van Johnson : Johnson's box office popularity

Johnson's box office popularity

Van Johnson was the most popular "boy next door" movie star of the 1940s. His box office decline has been blamed on his marriage to Evie Wynn. It has been claimed that his marriage to an older looking and unglamorous lady affected his popularity. Could be true. He did slip after 1947. I think his popularity was no different from most movie stars. Here is his ranking:

1945: 2
1946: 3
1947: 13
1948: 20
1950: 18
1951: 24
