So Who's Who for 2007? New edition decides

London, Jan 3: So Who's Who for 2007? A James Bond villain joined a transvestite Potter in the hallowed pages of the famous biographical reference book.

In the 2007 edition, actor Toby Stephens wins recognition for his portrayal of the Bond addie in ''Die Another Day.'' Potter Grayson Perry wore a frilly Shirley Temple dress to collect his Turner Prize, one of the art world's most controversial awards.

''Goodness Gracious Me'' actor and writer Sanjeev Bhaskar yesterday joined his wife Meera Syal among the 33,000 entries.

He listed as his favourite pastimes ''dreaming, chatting, collecting and watching movies, staying in, anything relating to Elvis Presley/Beatles/film trivia/gadgets.'' The first edition of Who's Who was published in 1849 as a unique research tool for measuring social change.

During World War Two, Winston Churchill personally intervened to ensure its publication and full circulation was not affected by a national paper shortage.
