Songs about actors and/or actresses

Really? I've known about it almost immediately after finding out about the song. But that's me.

Mentioning Andy Warhol makes me think of Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, which I'm pretty sure fits this category.

Honourable mention goes to Pop Will Eat Itself's Harry Dean Stanton - haven't heard it but I looked up the lyrics. Hell of a word salad, picking out any connection to Stanton is like solving a Rubik's cube.

This song is about Helen Mirren. Her birthname was Ilyena Vasilievna Mironov.
