A Tie, again (Chirac for both, Baker only for the Committee): Book 10 : DL 10

The most famous A-list celebrity on the DL: Javier Perez de Something

Maybe DL 2061.

RIP, Ginger Spice.

Ginger Baker

Lucky 13th hit for me here. Merci Chirac!

Also my 6th hit here.

Only the second hit for my French Theme Team, but at least a hit!

Happy 71st Birthday, Lovely Livvy! I couldn't find any news about her actual health, which wasn't posted here last month. It seems she's still fine: "I'm doing really well and I'm really healthy. It was a challenging year because I broke my sacrum and I had to learn to walk again and everything. But I am strong and I am back and I'm feeling good and loving every minute." https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2019090977482/olivia-newton-john-suprise-evening-oprah-gayle-king/

Like Kirk Douglas, for example

Boo.

"Thanks" to Fernando Ricksen, I'm one step ahead: 9 : 8

Always sad when a person dies at that age. RIP.

Let's wait and see, first of all he's getting 90 today! This article says, that Moss was not well enough to be present for the 90th birthday celebration at last weekend’s Goodwood Revival : https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/motor-racing/formula1/f1-lewis-hamilton-sir-stirling-moss-90-enzo-ferrari-juan-manuel-fangio-a9107131.html

German designer Luigi Colani has died at age 91. https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2019/09/16/world/europe/ap-eu-germany-obit-colani.html My father was an architecture and design student in the 1970s, and he had contact with Colani during that time. As a student, he had no money but a pregnant girlfriend, and so Colani gave my father a stroller designed by him. The stroller must have looked like that, but the frame was red and the folding roof orange, I think. Unfortunately, I have no access to my personal children's photos.

On 11.09.2001 I was shopping in Cologne with my best friend. We were in a CD department when suddenly a lot of people were staring at the monitors, on which a skyscraper - not immediately recognizable for us - was burning. We could not associate the event at all, went later to a cafe where we learned everything. When I got home, my partner was cooking for us and had not heard of anything. Then we sat in front of the TV for 2 or 3 days and skipped our classes in the university.

Vera Lynn again.

Yes, very fine! 1920: Javier Perez de Cuellar + Eileen Bennett 1921: Hugh Downs + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Larry Storch + Pearl Carr 1924: Budge Patty + 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

Why are you being so racist?

He should be included in the DL again in 2020.

For reasons:

Valerie Harper is my fifth hit here.

Thanks to Valerie Harper I'm at 11 now. It's a little sad, but a hit is a hit...
