Helen Mirren is a far better actress than of the other British actresses listed.

Not altogether annoying as these things go, but no Paul Scofield, contender for the best stage actor of all?

What do they go on anyway?
Most Oscars? Highest earnings? Total film output? Longevity? Box Office sucess?

You are, of course, correct about the lack of non English speaking actors, Curt Jurgens for example springs to mind. I take it you are joking about Harry Reems!
