A dead ringer for Twiggy, I loved her in Angels and Insects. She’s been working steadily in films since landing the lead in Absolute Beginners, and worked as a child model/actor before that since age four, mostly in print and TV ads.

In memorium of this actor, popular in Australia for decades, who I did not know until Lambdamooer Ko brought him to my attention. He’s been a stalwart of Australian cinema for going on 60 years, with his most note-worthy work occuring as Detective Inspector Craddock in a series of Miss Marple films in the mid 60’s. I don’t actually recognize him from his picture, but he’s been in a number of movies I like, including Breaker Morant, A Cry in the Dark, and the hilarious little-known comedy The Castle. RIP.

She looks like a contemporary country singer a la Carrie Underwood, but she’s German, and plays an accent to her advantage when called for. She’s probably best known as the quasi-romantic love interest in the National Treasure movies, but she’s got a couple of serious films to her credit as well. One of the very few actors who can make this list with less than 10 major credits, a possible pointer to a long and successful career.
