I am never clear re eligibility of foreigners for this honor. Obviously, some (though not a huge number) have won, but I am not sure what the rules are. In any event...
Stephen Schwartz
Shirley MacLaine
Sally Field
Jane Fonda (but it'll never happen)
Vanessa Redgrave (if eligible...even if, it'll probably never happen)
Maggie Smith (if eligible...I suspect she'd turn it down)
Andrew Lloyd Webber (if eligible)
Elton John (if eligible)
The Rolling Stones (if eligible)
Glenn Close (4 Emmys, 3 Tonys, 6 Oscar nominations)
(Controversial with this group) Bernadette Peters
Rosemary Harris seems a very good candidate to me...I had not thought of her...I am betting that it won't happen. Although prolific, it is largely in the theatre and she has not actually been in many hits in which she was the central character).
Too Young Yet, but inevitable:
Tom Hanks
Nathan Lane
Denzel Washington
Patti Lupone
Question:
Will people turn it down while Trump is president, if his childish and nasty tweeting continues, and he starts doing things that are too right leaning, particularly vis-a-vis human rights issues?
