Bibliogryphon 8,615 Posted June 20, 2016 Thank you then I will. This is quite hard. There are a few years when I am short of Ladies. Will need to be quick off the mark when someone goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,398 Posted June 21, 2016 20: - Michele Morgan 21: John Glenn - Alicia Alonso 22: Steven Hill - Barbara Hale 23: - Rose Marie 24: - Leslie Philips 25: - Arelne Dahl 26: - Irene Papas 27: Harry Belafonte - Gina Lollobrigida 28: Joe Jackson - Ann Blyth 29: Bud Spencer - Jane Powell I'll update my list because I've got trouble finding people....til then don't touch my enteries OK, I quit.....take my people...it's too hard and I'm too busy... Having finally got round to looking into this, I'm taking Hades up on his offer and co-opting a few of his names, largely since when I was looking at who else had been chosen 3 of his names had popped into my head before I got to his list. Some of them were really tough to find anybody, and I'm sure there's a few on my list who won't get the QO (I think a few other players may suffer the same fate) but fingers crossed someone else goes first. Assuming there are no objections, my picks are: 1920 - Henry Heimlich, Marsie Taylor 1921 - John Glenn, Hazel McCallion 1922 - Steven Hill, Rachel Robinson 1923 - Vic Seixas, Valentina Cortese 1924 - William Russell, Cicely Tyson 1925 - David Graham, Cara Williams 1926 - Mel Brooks, Jean Alexander 1927 - Harry Belafonte, Gina Lollobrigida 1928 - Joe Jackson, Jean Kennedy Smith 1929 - Max von Sydow, June Squibb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,398 Posted June 28, 2016 Seven steals from my original team. Seven! I've too much to do today, if I can cobble any kind of team together later I might enter. What can I say? You had a very good line-up! Think I stole 4 in the end, but it could have been more. I did try and steer clear of a few of yours, knowing I'd already taken some, but then, of course, there were others. Anyway, apologies, but I doubt any of them will end up dying next anyway! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
