Björk?

I didn't know Milla was also a "singer". Now I wish I didn't know.

--I love Bjork a lot. I think she should star in more films. Her music videos are one of my most favorites. Actually I have made a list of other actresses/singers that I like, and Bjork is in this second list. But I didn't post it last night because I wanted to go to sleep. :-)

I really love Miki Imai, but I rarely saw her on screen.

Jane Birkin is also marvelous. The link you've posted is such a great collaboration of Birkin and her ex.

I think Francoise Hardy, one of the Serge Gainsbourg's girls, should be in your poll, But I'm not sure she whether used to be an actress or not.

I'm very glad you like Miki Imai. She's one of my most favorite singers of all time. I haven't watched any of her acting works. But I know her TV series was aired on ITV about 9 years ago.

I know nothing about Francoise Hardy. Thanks for your suggestions.

I like Janet Keaw. She has a brassy voice and is also a fantastic comedian. I understand that she also does impressions.

The poll's closed now, but if it was still open I'd vote again for Marlene Dietrich. I just saw her in TOUCH OF EVIL. Her's is a small role, and she doesn't get to do much, but what's great about her and that movie is that she doesn't have to do much -- just stand there with those smouldering eyes and tell Orson Welles that she's closed.

--I really agree with you about Dietrich in TOUCH OF EVIL. Her presence in this film is quite memorable. I saw this film many years ago, and I can’t remember the face or the name of the leading actress of this film, but I can still recall the face of Dietrich in this film.

--Janet Khiew does many impressive impressions. My most favorite one is when she mimicked Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunand. Dr. Pornthip wrote a book called INVESTIGATION FROM CORPSES (สืบจากศพ), so Janet Khiew posed like Dr. Pornthip in the cover of the book, but Janet titled this photo “INVESTIGATION FROM TOILET” (สืบจากส้วม).

Hi celinejulie:

Can i know how I can get the book by Dr. Pornthip, the Investigation of Corpses?

Tq,

I'm not sure if Pornthip's book has been translated into English or not. I just knew that she wrote a famous Thai book called SUEB JAK SOB, which can be translated as THE INVESTIGATION OF CORPSES. If you can read Thai, you may be able to buy the book from the link below:
