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?

She's certainly versatile!

I don't think that there is any doubt that Meryl Streep is the most iconic big screen actress of our generation.

I didn't always think so because OH fancied her and I didn't like her because she's slimmer and prettier than me, but I have to accept that she is a very good actress, versatile and amazing in so many diverse roles over so many years. She's brilliant at accents, very prolific and as a person she does seem to have her head screwed on.

She is; however, today's actresses don't seem to have the glamour that the old Hollywood stars had.

Grace Kelly lived up to her name (IMHO)
