OMG, I used to get those two mixed up as well! The thing that helps me out is knowing that Reynolds is a nobody now and Selleck is the guy who played "Magnum P.I.", as well as helped Kevin Kline's character get out of the closet in In & Out (so Selleck obv wins). OH, nearly forgot when he was Monica's older boyfriend in "Friends", too! So the '90s obv made Selleck stand out a bit more, thankfully....
And Patrick Swayze is the dude in "Donnie Darko". Kurt Russell I remember as being the guy who started out as a child actor.
I used to be confused by Dorothy Hamill and Mary Lou Retton when I was a little kid, too. Just remembered. And the names of the two families on "Charles In Charge" -- the Powells and the, gee, can't remember the other one. I used to, though, and eventually figured out the Powells were from the latter part of the series and that other family were the first ones, the one without the grandfather.

You could also probably throw in Ernest Laszlo, a cinematographer who was nominated eight times for an Academy Award through the '60s and '70s (winning for Ship of Fools). Truthfully, I wasn't even aware of him till I started checking into László Kovács earlier.
