    Difficult to narrow it down to one but those that spring immediately to mind are:

    Actors - Tom Hollander, Bill Nighy, Johnny Depp (in anything except Pirates!), Jim Broadbent, Jeremy Irons

    Actresses - Miranda Richardson, Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham Carter


    Celebrities - Does this just mean people who are known but have no apparent talent or just anyone that doesn't act?

    Favorite Actor;
    Tom Hanks
    Favorite Roles of his;
    Practically everything he has been in but especially Rain man

    Favorite Actress;
    Whoopi Goldberg
    Favorite Roles of hers;
    All her films especially Sister Act

    Favorite All Time Celebrities;
    Bob Monkhouse - because he was so witty and relavtively clean
    John Barrowman - for his sheer talent
    Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - tremendous respect for those two
    David Barbie - Antiques programmes, I love his taste.
    Andrew Lloyd Webber - grew up with JC Superstar, Joseph and go to all his musicals since. He is a true legend.
    John Dankworth and Cleo Laine - absolute legends, cried when John passed on last year.
    Peter Kay - always makes me laugh. Best comedian today imo.
    Jeremy Beadle - a wonderful kind man who quietly did a lot for charity on the side. Sadly missed.
    Anne Diamond. has huge respect from me.
    That may seem a strange choice to some but Anne was the first woman to be on daily TV who had a baby out of wedlock.
    She gave me confidence at the time as I was in the same position as her.
    I love her down to earth feelings on day to day life as a mother and I agree with her opinions when she is on The Wright Stuff.
    She was brilliant when she campaigned about cot death.

    Actress: Stephanie Beacham.
    Roles: Phyl Oswyn in Bad Girls, Maria Callas in the play Master Class, Sable Colby in The Colbys/ Dynasty, Kristin Westphalen in SeaQuest DSV.

    Celebs All of Girls Aloud. There are more but it would take me ages!
