"It is a women's head, quite a distance away, seen in profile, like the head on a coin, and while Clarissa cannot immediately identify her (Meryl Streep? Vanessa Redgrave?) she knows without question that the women is a movie star." (27)
Meryl Streep has been considered by many people to be the greatest film actress alive. Vanessa Redgrave started acting in the 1960's and has improved greatly as she has aged. The prospect of these actress being outside the flower shop is parallel to the unknown authority figure in the motor car in Mrs. Dalloway. The people in Mrs. Dalloway ran to see the car because they idolized the government. The actresses have control over America's culture just like the English government has. These figures are also admired because the will be remembered, therefore they are in a sense imortal.
