What the heck motivated me to fill my shadow list with the names of painters, writers & opera singers? In the meantime show people are dying like flies. Larry King, Cloris Leachman, Cicely Tyson... At the end of the year, the members of this committee will probably pat themselves on the shoulder for having included Lansbury, White, Redgrave & Co.

I'd like to know which vaccine the Royals received. Moderna, Pfitzer, or AstraZeneca?

Can't sleep. Just watching an old favorite: "Die unentschuldigte Stunde" (1957). Chariklia Baxevanos (1936) is still alive. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariklia_Baxevanos Edit: I don't want to fill this thread with spam, so I will write the names I find in this posting: Gerlinde Locker (1938) is also alive.
