Just saw the new mailing postage stamp with Frank Sinartra on it. He looks very Young At Heartish in the photo on the stamp.

That's a really lovely idea. Wonder if the Queen would mind taking a break from the 1st and 2nd class stamps in England? that would be really interesting to do. Maybe a person who has made a positive impact on society, or an entertainer or a politician who could sort out the economy could have a go...it certainly would make sending a letter a bit more interesting!

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps someday, we could get a Doris Day stamp.... that'd be a real treat!!!

April 28, 2008 In the UK, June 10 will see the release of Hammer horror-related stamps. The U.S. honored Elvis and Star Wars with their own stamps -- now the UK is doing the same thing for Chris Lee and Peter Cushing.

Sheila, who would you suggest?

Have you seen the new ist class stamps - with balloons etc but still a tiny Queen's head [not Boy George's] in the corner?

No Jas I have not seen those...sound great!

well off the top of my head, I would like to see the following represented in stamps. They my already have been, to be honest, I have never really taken much notice.

Here are just a few I can come up with:-

Martin Luther King
Emmeline Pankhurst
Mother Teresa
Florence Nightingale
Thomas Edison
Leonardo da Vinci
William Shakespeare
Karl Marx
Sigmund Freud

Finishing off with George Clooney because I think he would look very appealing on a stamp!!

I agree with the people you chose for a stamp Sheila esp at the end with George Clooney he's one of my favorites from today!!!I hope Doris gets one someday lets hope!

Well, let's not rush Doris's stamp, since in the U.S. you have to be dead 10 years to appear on a stamp.

Oh my goodness John didn't realise that!!!

I've deleted her off my collection of interesting stamp people.

I admire your worthy choice, Sheia.

In the entertainment industry,
(to celebrate some great films and get a sense of film history, I'd go for:

The Tramp (or some great Chaplin film)
Citizen Kane
Gone With the Wind
Sunset Blvd
Double Indemnity
Frankenstein/Dracula
Singing in The Rain
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Calamity Jane or Love Me or Leave Me
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
West Side Story
Vertigo

Off the top of my head and I could think of many more
but I'd better stop there as I was thinking of 10!

For British films:
The Third Man
The 39 Steps
Great Expectations
The Ladykillers
The Belles of St Trinian's
The Lavender Hill Mob
Billy Liar
The Servant
The Lady Vanishes
Goldfinger
The Life of Brian

What would be your choice or genre be?

Goodness, John... in that case, I hope Doris NEVER gets on a stamp...

Bryan, your choices are spot-on.

Although personally, I'd prefer Holy Grail over Life of Brian.
