Thanks for the many comments this morning. Several people objected to any accents in the English column so they are gone now.
Several people recommended Gerard Depardieu as a French actor. I gave credit to the first person. Some politicians have crept in. For now I am just incorporating what people send me. The biographical comments coming in with the names are very interesting. If I had more time it would be nice to add the annotations, so for the names that are not recognized you could learn who they are or link to their web sites. (Like the actress from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragons.) But I don't have the time... thanks for your help.
