Night 4 Posted July 12, 2004 Doubt she passes the fame test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Typhoid Harry 23 Posted July 12, 2004 I'm a bit stunned by that, Night. Can I get a witness over here? They never re-broadcast The Jeffersons in the UK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 186 Posted July 12, 2004 Doesnt pass the famousness test in my book - Ive never seen The Jeffersons and - trust me - Ive watched some TV Now if it was George Jetson that'd be a different story Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Typhoid Harry 23 Posted July 13, 2004 Well, then I doubt this one passes the fame test, but he certainly gets the "longest link" award... http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/news/ma...7/10/db1002.xml The way it appears in the post is misleading, look at the actual URL when it comes up.

Guest Doggonecutsy Posted July 13, 2004 Latest News- Isabel Sanford, better known as Weezie from "The Jeffersons" has died (of natural causes). She was 86 and quite the funny actress that lighted up Nick at Nite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted July 13, 2004 That is one great obit. "In a New York restaurant he was spotted by Arturo Lopez-Wilshaw, an immensely rich Chilean with a fortune derived from guano, who, although married to his cousin Patricia Lopez-Huici, had enjoyed a number of homosexual relationships with various partners, including one of the Rocky Twins who had danced with Mistinguett in Paris." Quite simply divine, darling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted July 13, 2004 If she's better known as Weezie from the Jeffersons I dread to think what her lesser roles consisted of......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Typhoid Harry 23 Posted July 13, 2004 Yeah, Anubis, I thought so too, quite elaborate. On the other hand (you have different fingers?), has anyone ever heard of this guy, or is he just one of those high society (yes, we've heard of Le Rosey in the states) types? Also, why does the Telegraph print such a long obit on him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Typhoid Harry 23 Posted July 13, 2004 Probably not going to pass the test, but at least he was one of yours... http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/news/ma...7/13/db1303.xml Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rude Kid 3 Posted July 13, 2004 And even I have heard of this guy... http://www.opinion.telegraph.co.uk/news/ma...7/12/db1203.xml Perhaps the best-known case which he tried was that of Jane Andrews, the former assistant and dresser to the Duchess of York who murdered her lover, Tommy Cressman, by battering him with a cricket bat and stabbing him in the heart. I have Jane Andrews in my current DDP team. Close (ish) but no cigar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stayin Alive 26 Posted July 14, 2004 ...without reading the Guardian Obits from last Thursday, by pure mistake.

The Yeti 14 Posted July 14, 2004 Ready for reincarnation ....

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted July 16, 2004 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3897481.stm I have doubts over whether a 'faceless' individual from a well-known band actually passes the famousness test.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted August 1, 2004 Magere Hein:Francis Crick, Nobel Prize winner and co-discoverer of the structure of DNA dies. BTW, there are quite a few very old Nobel Prize winners alive out there. They'll all pass the "fame test", so this may be a good mine for 2005 and on. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
