D'oh, took my eye off the ball there....I'd have entered the same team again, but missed this round, and Andre Previn would have been a hit.  Still, you snooze, you lose.....

You do know you can still post a team before the next person on a team snuffs it?

 

Just don't pick Andre Previn!

Yes, I don't know where Irene came from...apart from the fact it's a name that sounds appropriate for a 97 year old!   :facepalm:

How very dare you...I'll have you know when I stole Carl Reiner I was not naked, I was wearing my least smeggy pjs, the ones with only three holes in each armpit and only two custard stains down the front.

Think we avoided her given the historical dispute over her year of birth.

 

Anyhow, we wait...

Machiko Kyo has a Washington Post obit, but I don't think it counts here? I dunno, I only recently rejoined the fray.

 

It's not as if we in Europe can read it anyway.

It's not blocked by GDPR, but you can only view a limited number of articles before they start asking for a subscription fee. In that instance, incognito mode is your friend B)

Not sure when Sean was last on so we could wait for a ruling or another obit to surface. Alternatively we could vote amongst the five live players on the validity of the hit.

Eileen Bennett a brave pick. Last evidence of her being alive seems to be a 1999 interview. Would expect she’s since died in obscurity?
