Default Steve Crook vs. everybody else

I have single question quiz for you all.

Who had a title role in a Michael Powell film and currently resides in East Sussex?

No DB7. I don't know where Carl Boehm lives but I do know he does not live in the UK.

Helen Mirren? (altho I'd expect her to live in London)

If it's me vs everyone else, shouldn't I know the answer? :

There aren't that many that had a title role in a Michael Powell film that are still alive. Who have you found?

I would think that the most likely candidate would be that boy that turned yellow, Mark Dightam.

No. Think title role.

That was a response to Helen Mirren. I checked where Mark Dightam lives and he lives in Greater Manchester.

Well Mark had the lead role in that film.
Do you mean their name is in the title?
Powell didn't do many films with a person's name in the title.

Herzog Blaubarts Burg (1964) but Norman Foster's dead
Oh... Rosalinda!! (1955) but Ludmilla's dead
The Tales of Hoffmann (1951) but Robert Rounseville is dead, as is Hoffmann
My Friend the King (1932) but the old King's dead

I was not referring to your suggestion which, had Mark lived in East Sussex, would have fitted the bill.

I refer to a feature film (in case Pat McGrath lives in East Sussex).

Well now I'm totally confused. Mainly because I don't know which of your responses is in reply to which suggestion.

It's easier if you quote the message you're replying to. Or at least the relevant part of it.

OK, I'm baffled. Unless Jennifer Jones or Deborah Kerr have moved to East Sussex.
What's the answer?
