High profilic German character actress Hannelore Elsner died on Easter sunday at age 76. This is quite shocking and sad, her cancer diagnosis wasn`t made public before. https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/gesellschaft/hannelore-elsner-ist-tot-a-1264063.html (German link)

I think it is more than an effort, they have put it in a nutshell. Well done imo.

The new German No.1: Rammstein with "Deutschland". Pretty controversial clip, but just the combination of image, text and sound is really awesome!

Happy Birthday Doris Day, most likely 97 today (other sources say 95)!

Ooh, I'm scared to death! Good luck to your team. And congrats to @Bibliogryphon, well done!!!

First hit of the year for my DDP french theme team.

Oh-oh-oh...

What do you guys think, will she survive the year? In recent instagram pics she is looking very thin...

If we had a tie, I would have let you go for the next round, so come on! 4 and a half days left!

Yesterday I finally had the opportunity to see Loreena McKennitt live. A dream came true and the concert was absolutely fantastic! I was so moved all the time that I cried with every song. That may sound silly to you, but I could not stop the tears. I have never experienced anything like it!

I always thought her birthday is a holiday within the Gay Community, same with Madonnas, Chers, Kylies...

It's her 102nd Birthday today. Congratulations!

I don't know who he is but Happy Birthday!

Whaaaat??? Just saw them live in December, was a brilliant concert! There goes my youth...

Yes @Bibliogryphon, and our Cup-teams are 100% different! This will be a nice and fair game, good luck to you!!!!!!!
