  • Here we go again Boops :) I haven't got a clue either. I googled International Icons and one of the first was "Barbie" (definitely not her as she is just a dolly :cool:). As it closes on Sunday, 09, there is plenty more time to wait for all the clues. :) Thanks for posting Boops - I like comps. like this. :T

    My first guess at this stage would be Alan Rickman, British, still alive, international actor and started out as a graphic designer.

    Will have to see how the rest of the clues unfold.

  • Hammy does it again ! It is looking good for Alan Rickman :) Eastenders character: Dennis Rickman. He also likes to draw. (Alan not Dennis :))

    Wednesday's clue: "This talented star is also a jazz bandleader & horse breeder. Enter: http://www.wishyouwereherecumbria.co.uk/competition.html "

    Sorry, rushing at work so haven't had chance to do any research as to answer! :undecided Boo!
  • I think I know who it is: Charlie Watts He is a horse breeder, jazz band leader, and I suppose he is an international icon, and draws :) Watts also ties in with Eastenders character: Sharon or Angie or Dirty Den :)

    Thanks Boops :)

    from wiki:

    Charles Robert "Charlie" Watts (born 2 June, 1941) is an English drummer, jazz bandleader,[1] record producer, commercial artist, and horse breeder best known as a member (from January 1963 through the present) of The Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger sometimes refers to Watts as "The Wembley Whammer" when introducing him during concerts.
