Still a tie because of Valerie Harper: 7 : 7

Vera Lynn, just because.

Nice to have a next hit - but this is a sad one So Valerie Harper (1939 - 2019) is the next female MTM-character besides Mary Tyler Moore (1936 - 2017) herself and Georgia Engel (1948 - 2019) that dies within two and a half years, leaving Betty White (1922) and Cloris Leachman (1926) behind, the two oldest of the 5 female actresses...

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere Liverpool or Rome 'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere Anywhere alone Anywhere alone https://eurovision.tv/story/rotterdam-to-host-eurovision-2020

Wow, well done, DI!!! 1920: Javier Perez de Cuellar + Eileen Bennett 1921: Hugh Downs + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Pearl Carr 1924: Robert Mugabe + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Michel Piccoli + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Jerry Stiller + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos

This is his biggest song according to its charts position. Take me home tonight hit #4 on Billboard Charts in 1986. A very average mainstream pop-rock song imo.

I love Superstition! And I really love I've never been to me But what I really hate is I love your smile the worst Motown track imo:

1920: Javier Perez de Cuellar + Eileen Bennett 1921: Hugh Downs + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Pearl Carr 1924: Robert Mugabe + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Michel Piccoli + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Jerry Stiller + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos

Wasn't it Klaus Kinski who was offered to be killed by the Natives during the filming of Fitzcarraldo? But Herzog declined because he needed the actor to complete the filming.

More likely I would suggest Slys mother Jackie Stallone. She will be 98 in November and is a (D-list-) celebrity in her own right.

80 today

Congratulations to Spade! - but also to Boudicca! You both did a good job here!

Sent you my team, Sir Creep.

I love Mama Cass! Great performer!

It's his birthday today, most likely his last. No news to be found.

John Paul Stevens, a hit for Squonk: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/16/us/john-paul-stevens-dead.html next round: 1920: Javier Perez de Cuellar + Eileen Bennett 1921: Hugh Downs + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Pearl Carr 1924: Robert Mugabe + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Michel Piccoli + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Alison Lurie 1927: Jerry Stiller + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Imelda Marcos

Johnny Clegg for me... and the Committee! 6 : 6

Bob Dole (on his birthday in 6 days).

9/50 Last year I had 16... I'm optimistic that I can beat it this year.

Some Marieke Vervoort News from July 1, 2019: Marieke Vervoort shares heartbreaking video: "I can't do it anymore" https://nl.metrotime.be/2019/07/01/must-read/marieke-vervoort-deelt-hartverscheurende-video-ik-kan-niet-meer/ Google translation: The former wheelchair athlete Marieke Vervoort has shared a gripping video in which she is in despair. Vervoort has been fighting for years against terrible pains caused by progressive tetraplegia, a paralyzing disease. Marieke "Wielemie" Vervoort is going through hell. The 40-year-old former wheelchair athlete, who won a gold and silver medal at the Paralympic Games, suffers from progressive tetraplegia, a disease in which her arms and legs are paralyzed. As a result, she often lives in hellish pain, just like last weekend. Vervoort shared a video in which she moans with pain and indicates that she cannot continue like this. “My pain is not fair. They can't do this to anyone. Since Saturday afternoon I have started to give up enormously. I can not handle it any longer. I can't even get a drink. I can't do anything. It doesn't work anymore. It must stop. When is everything finally okay? When will it finally stop? All promises, all beautiful words, until you ask the real truth, but then you get no answer, "it sounds. Wielemie recently filmed a documentary about her life. It will premiere in New York in December. "I am really looking forward to that, but I just don't know if I will last that long," she said earlier in Dag Allemaal.
