Stars I discovered/grew to love/admire:
Robert Donat
Deborah Kerr
Glynis Johns
Rossano Brazzi
Really discovered these three at the end of last year (had seen Kerr and Johns in other movies previously). Don't really know why I left Johns off of last years list.
Had seen Brazzi in several movies before but was unimpressed until this year
when I watched South Pacific which started a major (ongoing) crush.
