Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with this Rosemary Harris? Genuinely had never heard of her before about a week ago (although it turns out I do know her work in the Spiderman films) but now she's been mentioned three times in this thread and has her own thread started a few days ago...despite there being absolutely nothing wrong with her as far as we know (I get it, she's 93). Am I missing something? I'd be tempted to suggest many of the mentions come from recent forum joiners, but I choose not to become part of the tinfoil hat brigade and take people on face value.

There's a potential project over at the A Night To Remember thread, if anyone fancies a go. It has emerged that scores more uncredited cast members have been added to the list at IMDB since the topic was started. I've added the extra names with year of death where given. In many cases there are no details of year of birth or death. A few have year of birth only, which I've entered in red. I've started to add the IMDB links, am having to do it manually. UPDATE: Links added. Scroll down to the second list. https://forums.deathlist.net/topic/8124-a-night-to-remember/?do=findComment&comment=170718
