I suspect a comprehensive search of Dylan lyrics would turn up quite a few more.Originally posted by Artificial Hipster View PostIn I Shall Be Free his answer to President Kennedy's question, what do we need to make the country grow? is Brigitte Bardot, Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren.
Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor /Yul Brynner/Ernest Borgnine are also included I Shall Be Free
Bette Davis — Desolation Row
Clark Gable — Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight
Rudolph Valentino — Farewell Angelina
Errol Flynn — Foot of Pride
James Cagney — Joey
Lillian Russell — Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts (?) This is speculation, based on Lillian Russell being Diamond Jim Brady's ("Big Jim") long-time paramour.
Un-named but all over the mid-60s songs is Edie Sedgwick — frequently assumed to be "Miss Lonely" on Like a Rolling Stone.

But not Dion and the Belmonts. Dion split with the Belmonts in 1961. On all his doo-wop material from Runaround Sue until the mid-60s he was backed by the Del-Satins (who rarely received credit.) [/pedantry]
Another: Kung Fu - Ash (Jackie Chan)

"Celluloid Heroes" by The Kinks of course which as well as the usual suspects (Valentino,Monroe, Davies, Cagney) has the more rarely mentioned George Sanders & Mickey Rooney.
"Sean Flynn" by The Clash is possibly the only song about the son of a famous actor.

Elle me fait constater que j'ai moins d'abdominaux
Que je n'ai pas les triceps de Sylvester Stallone
(Sequelles, which also mentions Lacan and Rousseau in case you thought he was shallow)
