What a fun idea! You did a great job with these. Can't believe you could fit all of Liz Taylor's married names into one icon. :D And the "Mrs. Richard Burton squared" thing is so funny! You used some terrific pictures too.

Just two spelling errors I noticed (sorry, I'm an editor in RL -- I can't help it!!): "Francis" should be "Frances" in Judy Garland's name, and "Katherine" Hepburn should be "Katharine." I thought you might want to know.

Yea I noticed the spelling mistakes too another tiny mistake is Vivien, is Vivien Leigh, she legally changed her name to VIVIEN.

I have corrected her STAGE NAME. Cheers.

Fun! Did you know that Michael Caine discovered his stage surname by wandering around and looking up at the marquee for The Caine Mutiny?
