Sunset Blvd. (Llyod Webber/Black/Hampton) has a bunch of references to silent movie stars: John Gilbert, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, (Roscoe) Fatty Arbuckle, Cecil B. DeMille (technically a director, but whatever) -- just to name a few.

And she was mentioned already, but Lauren Bacall's shout out in Evita is my favorite: "So Lauren Bacall me!!!"

They climb the clouds
To come through with airmail.
The dancing crowds
Look up to some rare male
Like that Astaire male.
