I guess a lot depends on if they were conceived via frozen sperm and eggs and what age were mother and father when the sperm and eggs were frozen?

Well I am a hybrid of this. I l really love having unique picks in my teams but I don't do it to be competitive as I'm sure you can tell and I only pick people who I am interested in either for themselves, the genre or even sub genre they fall under or news story/topic that brought them a noteworthy level of fame. Infact I like so many of the probable unique picks that I have a terrible job wittlingly it down to a manageable list! Team submission time is both an agony and a thrill! I couldn't resist including June Kenton, a businesswoman who provides underwear to female British royals but lost the royal warrant and seal of approval for being very indiscrete! It was too delicious but at the same time more worthy people like sociologists and philsophers tickle my interest too. Never would I include someone who I didn't find interesting in some way.

Desperately sad

Keeping the faith with Joanne Woodward but that faith is being tested...

This is my first ever thread so forgive me if it's error ridden! I spotted a thread called the class of 1926 and I thought given we are on the cusp of 2017 hence the year that people born in 1937 turn the milestone age of 80 and that 1937 seems to be a year particularly rich in talent and iconic names etc I thought why not? Who do you think will be the last one standing? Who do you think will be an early departer from the list? Sorry if I've missed out anybodys favourites. Need to add Gordon Banks just been informed!

Thought she was excellent as the complex bitch Catherine Martell in Twin Peaks.

I'm sure it was a very elegant, thoughtful and classy fart though! Also with a touch of imagination banging a gavel could have more than one meaning...!!

This line in the write up for my unique pick William Gage tickled me "Judge William Gage has banged his last gavel" Great obituaries on this brilliant pool as always.

Still shocking even if unsurprising.
