I understand that this is not an American site, but even an American reality show personality from TLC has to be more relevant in Britain than Nolan, JPDC, Valery d'Whatever, or Ian St. John I assume trashy tabloids like the daily mail and the aforementioned national enquirer "sad last days!" types will be all over ALM's death.

That's something that could arguably be quantified in a rough and ready sort of way. Points allocated to each individual as to their 'fame quotient'. One could then ascribe bonuses for more famous in the UK (it's a uk based site) or for more famous with teens, or more famous with older than teens...or any other criteria everyone agreed on. I have a few seconds before the next football game where my predict-a-score in another thread is plunging to new depths so lets see where that might take us: Points I'd ascribe on a personal basis 1 to 10 for your list. (just mine, others can argue that's too biased, and it is. but we could as a site argue the merits on any individual and then come up with a consensus 'fame' score. Linda Nolan - 4 Leah Bracknell - 2 Peter Carrington - 2 JPDC - 0 Stirling Moss - 5 Tessa Jowell - 4 Prunella Scales - 5 Leslie Phillips - 4 Jill Gascoigne - 2 Vera Lynn - 5 Charles Aznavour - 6 Honor Blackman - 7 Stanley Baxter - 5 Valery Giscard Destaing (sp) - 7 Mel Brooks - 8 Neil Simon - 8 June Brown - 3 Dennis Norden - 4 Ian St John - 3 Jimmy Greaves - 4 Clive James - 6 Joni Mitchell - 7 Gazza - 5 Mark Smith - 4. I've not allocated more than 5 to folks that are possibly unknown outside the uk, or more than 4 if they are only known for say a soap or as a politician, since they might be very famous in their own country but unheard of elsewhere. Thus to get over 5 the subject would have to be internationally known. Incidentally, Abby Lee Miller would have to have a personal fame score of 2,200 for your assertion that she is 20 times more famous than the entirety in combination of others on the list . 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
