very interesting.
my skills are not good enough to take part of this, still i got some ideas what models to try to model ...

i think it is perfectly easy to understand that most names mentioned so far are "celebrities" of recent times, coming from american showbiz.

now, what about those idols of the past, or different origin?

just to name a few:

marcello mastroianni
kirk douglas
frank sinatra
marlon brando
james dean
humphrey bogart
yul brynner
gregory peck
chow yun fat
tony leung
johnny weissmuller
john wayne
alain delon
boris karloff
spencer tracy

greta garbo
gina lollobrigida
sophia loren
audrey hepburn
katherine hepburn
lauren bacall
catherine deneuve
fay wray
faye wong
gong li
akiko wakabayashi
maureen o'sullivan

em, i think you got the idea ...
maybe it is just because i am getting old and miss some of the "old times" - but this should be a rich source of inspiration for you all.

:-)
