Brits who've made it in US

[vig]

Was thinking about how many Brits have made it big in the US.
Very few in sports. Brian Davis making a fist of it now.

Anyhow, in all fields who have?
i'll give you a couple to start with

Bob Hope
Stan Laurel

 

[KeefG]

David Beckham
Ewan McGregor
John Lennon

 

[bobmac]

I'll give you Bob Hope and Stan Laurel and raise you Groundsman Willy and Mr Scott (Star Trek)

 

[Dave3498]

Twiggy, Pamela Stevenson, Glynis Johns and The Duchess of York, amongst the ladies.

 

[vig]

I'll trump your "scotty" with Tom Jones and Def Leopard

 

[theeaglehunter]

Leona Lewis has had an excellent impact in the US, far greater than was originally expected.

 

[Dave3498]

What about Cary Grant, Alfred Hitchcock, Sean Connery, Sean Bean, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie - and Her Majesty the Queen?

 

[nomadpaul]

Believe it not , one of the UK's best exports to the US was/is Benny Hill !!!

 

[krokodil]

David Beckham

Keef, I'd question old golden balls-lotta fan fare, advertisements etc.. but his impact on the MLS was mediocre.

Ozzy Osbourne-even before MTV. Led Zeppelin were/are huge.

 

[bobmac]

John Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby
