Just bringing the master list of famous foriegn actors and actresses forward because I hadn't updated it for a while. I have also (finally!) integrated a lot (but not yet all) of the surviving members of Predictor's October 2013 list into the master one. UPDATE: I have now also integrated CaptainChorizo's list of directors. Vladimir Zeldin has been hospitalised with a broken hip. https://www.rt.com/news/311782-unique-Russian-actor-hospitalized/ Noted Russian thespian Vladimir Zeldin, aged 100, has been hospitalised after breaking his hip "during a medical screening". Is there some kind of echo in here? Apologies, I was so busy snipping I hadn't noticed a post had gone through. -

Decided to save Leslie Phillips from becoming the third in a triumvirate of UK national treasures (following on from Cilla and Cole). By voting for him I've assured his survival until the next expiry.

Grim Up North and one other voter were right with George Cole.
