Name That Dame!
Inspired by our message board, we decided to try and compile a list of dames old and new - not character names, but actors who have played dames! Since 2008 we have compiled the following list and have now decided to feature this in its own article.
It's fairly extensive but no doubt there will be many more to add - so please email your submissions to info@its-behind-you.com and we will update this list as we go.
The links will take you to further information in our BRING ON THOSE WONDERFUL DAMES article.
