At the top of the heap is Elton John's "Candle In The Wind", followed by the aforementioned Eagles song "James Dean". Honorable mention goes to the Kinks' song "Celluloid Heroes" for its name checking of early film stars. And how can we forget the Counting Crows song "Mrs. Potter's Lullaby" inspired by one band member's desire for actress Monica Potter! (lol) Here's a link to what appears to be an interesting book about real women who inspired many a famous rock song although few are actresses. Oh well...

Nick Lowe's "Marie Provost" has always been a fave, even before I understood what the song was about. Antsy McClain's "Ron Howard's Brother" is down-right brilliant...'hang out with other famous people like Jim Beloushi and Randy Quaid.'
