Well if it's female stars of the current time they're after, what about Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslett, Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie?
Thing is, are they 'icons'? I'm not sure, maybe not in the same way as Audrey Hepburn, Bridgitte Bardot and Sophia Loren.

Perhaps too sixties ?

Just spent time with DD2 and SIL. DH is a talented artist so they've asked him to draw three screen icons for the wall of their new home cinema (yes I know-it's in the cellar!). James Bond was an easy choice, Edward Fox in Day of the Jackal, Jason Bourne, Harrison Ford but what about a female star?
Marilyn Monroe is obvious but they would really like someone of their generation-they're in their forties. well folks, any suggestions?
