One of my favorite British actresses. Well respected. We're having a Bond marathon on one of the channels here - I just watched for the millionth time in Casino Royale, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day. I see you also have Colin Firth and a few others whose faces I recognize (Masterpiece Theatre, MI5, etc.). Lovely!

We wanted a place to honor the best actors of our generation, in our opinion. And they are all gorgeous which is an added plus.

They're all so talented and yes, gorgeous. I'm a Bond fan myself.
