ReplyDeleteNon familiarity with names of foreign film actors makes this grid more tougher. If you do not have enough time at your disposal to look at various references it is best to look at the blog and learn. Nothing to worry.

ReplyDeleteI don't think it is a good idea to theme a crossword puzzle with English Actors
ReplyDeleteWhen such theme is taken the best way in my opinion is to give an hint on that actor’s famous movie. This may help. Also in this the setter has taken famous actors across 50 years starting from Doris day to VIN diesel.
