Jackie Wilson says by Dexys.

Or Jocky Wilson says seeing darts players are a hot topic. Top of the Pops actually did a big backdrop of Jocky by mistake for the studio performance (or for a laugh).

The Clash saw Lauren Bacall in Car Jamming and Right Profile is about Montgomery Clift.

The Dirk in Adam and The Ants Dirk Wears White Sox is often thought to be a reference to long term Hartlepool Mail photographer Dirk van der Werff but it is actually about the slightly more famous Dirk Bogarde.

You can have Who Killed Bambi? if you count young cartoon deer as actors.

I'm struggling to decide who was the more famous actor, Jackie or Jocky?

I think it's a dead heat.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole: "She looks like Eve Marie saint in 'On the Waterfront'"

Year of the Cat by Al Stewart manages two in the first couplet: "On a morning from a Bogart fillum, in a country where they turn back time, you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime."

HOLLY (WOODLAWN) came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.

CANDY (DARLING) came from out on the island,
In the backroom she was everybody's darling,
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...

Little JOE (DALLASSANDRO) never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is the place where they said:
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go, go, go
They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, alright, huh

JACKIE (CURTIS) is just speeding away
Thought she was JAMES DEAN for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say

Holly, Candy, Joe and Jackie were stars of films made by Andy Warhol's studio, The Factory in the 1960s (as was 'Sugar Plum Fairy, a.k.a. Joe Campbell). Holly and Candy were maybe the first American transgender performers to make it to the big screen.

James Dean is possibly name checked in more songs than any other fillum star?

Lou Reed was a songwriting genius. Candy says.

Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta now

She was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins

Nice one Mr F. Yup it's nowt like sit down!

Anyway I forgot an obvious one: The magnificent "Celluloid Heroes" by the Kinks.
You get Greta Garbo, Rudolph Valentino, Bette Davis, George Sanders, Mickey Rooney, and "dearest Marilyn".

And of course, Ray Davies being Ray Davies, you get a mini pen portrait of each one of them.
