Good quiz idea. While you're including the "Dames", make sure to give Dame Peggy Ashcroft her due too.

Thank you for your feedback, it is always appreciated! I have since corrected Lady Ashcroft's title. :) Apologies for the mistake!

I was thinking the same thing. She was British-born to parents who were US citizens. She was Best Actress in 1960 for Butterfield 8 and in 1966 for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
