THats a good choice... Hopefully, the people guilty of her murder get banged up.. My modern day favourite, also from the USSR is Olga Kurylenko. Hot, smart, multi-talented, good character and also comes over as a good rolemodel... unlike many celebrities.
As an actress myself, i'm going to go with myself. If you don't back yourself, why would anyone else?
Emelia Fox Alex Kingston Ingrid Bergman Vanessa Redgrave Greta Garbo Vivienne Leigh Elizabeth Taylor Sophia Loren Just a few off the top of my head. There are many others I like.
This is likely not an answer you are expecting but I will watch Grace Kelly in anything she did. Same with Thelma Ritter. I also like Ella Raines and Mercedes McCambridge whom you have probably never heard of.
