You’ve seen them on the silver screen, and now Oscar-winners Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Geoffery Rush may soon be starring in a letter box near you after their homeland Australia recognised their achievements by putting them on postage stamps.
The 55 cent (36 U.S. cent) stamps, which went on sale on Thursday, bear pictures of the four Australian Hollywood stars and are part of Australia Post’s celebrations for the January 26
national day, Australia Day
“The four Academy Award winners were named the 2009 Australian Post Australian Legends in recognition of the outstanding contributions they have made to Australian
entertainment and culture,” managing director Graeme John said in a statement. 
In addition to their Oscar gold, the stars will also be presented with a 24-carat gold replica of
their stamp in recognition of the honour, the statement added.
Shine on…
