This question appears to be being looked at with way too much of a modern male slant.

I think that all depends on how you define "iconic"...in a purely filmic sense I might agree with you (and earlier examples of Bogart, Brando, Nicholson, and my own examples Newman, Wells, and James Dean), but my interpretation of 'iconic' in this case is much more along the lines of a
pop culture icon, which is a different creature altogether.
