Today’s fancy dress theme is another way of looking at the genre of films. An icon tends
to be the main character that the film revolves around, however some films have produced an array of iconic film characters with Star Wars being a great example. You may also look at who is a filmstar icon, in your own opinion, for example Marilyn Monroe…

Today is the birthday of Liam Neeson, who being born in 1952, is 60 this year. Neeson is one of those versatile actors who has a wide portfolio of characters: Probably best known for ‘Schindler’s List’, he was also involved in the Star Wars prequels and voiced characters in the Clone Wars TV series. He was in the recent ‘Battleship’ film and is shortly to appear in the new Batman ‘Dark Knight Rises’ movie. A wide range of characters, yet (with the possible exception of a Jedi Knight), not ones which feature amongst our movie character requests. As a general rule, of course, when it comes to dressing up for a movies event, people tend to favour the character, rather than the star, and as we shall see later this week, there are some stars who have created a whole array of memorable characters.
