Lee Remick

I found her to be such an intelligent, focused and determined actress.  She was also a versatile one who made a few good movies with top actors and directors, made a name for herself on Broadway and when she ultimately headed for television, it was not in the standard episodic rot but in acclaimed programs where her skills were evident and her recognition soared.

Gilbert Roland

He was one of Hollywood's original Latin Lovers, in the same time frame as Rudolf Valentino and years before the likes of Ricardo Montalban and Fernando Lamas.  Gilbert Roland was dashing, sexy, a bit dangerous and often had that cigarillo hanging from his lips.  On the screen he always seemed like he was having a good time.

Susannah York

She was the pretty, flaxen-haired beauty who arose out of London's swinging 60s and whose most famous work came from that decade.  For some reason, however, and despite the fact that she worked with top actors and directors and even made two Oscar-winning best pictures and continued to work through 2010, she never attained the glory that Maggie or Judi or Helen or Vanessa did.
