It was Kim Novak’s 90th birthday yesterday, which got me thinking it might be time to start a poll on which of the surviving Hitchcock blondes will be the first to go, especially seeing nearly all of them are still alive and moving into dangerous ages. There is: Brigitte Auber: born 1925 (To Catch a Thief) Kim Novak: born 1933 (Vertigo) Eva Marie Saint: born 1924 (North By Northwest) Vera Miles: born 1929 (Psycho) Tippi Hedren: born 1930 (The Birds/Marnie) Julie Andrews: born 1935 (Torn Curtain) Barbara Leigh-Hunt: born 1935 (Frenzy) I reckon Auber will go first, Andrews last.

I was just responding to the original post. But, you have a point.

President Umaru - obviously still suffering from that intriguing swelling-disease - is urged to resign. There are fears that his frequent absence will destabilize Nigerian government. Make that: all organs except Umaru's heart, liver and kidneys. A delegation of politicians are travelling to Saudi Arabia to check on the condition of their ailing President. Some Nigerians aren't convinced by his BBC interview.
