It is not just playing two characters in genre films....any schnook can do that. It's characters of roughly equal value! Thus Lynda Carter playing WW AND a character in SKY HIGH doesn't count because the Sky High character was clearly an homage to her role as Wonder Woman. Jessica Alba as Nancy and Sue Storm does count, though. I think Lon Chaney is the winner. For extra credit: imagine internet reaction to Lon Chaney's career.
