I forget his name, but I know he was one of the New Kids On The Block. Nope. Hmm, really? OK, I know. He was one of Marky Mark's Funky Bunch. I always get them a little confused, because it was Donnie who was in New Kids On The Block. (Well, I guess Marky Mark was with NKOB at first, but mainly it was Donnie.)

Until you said “Donnie,” I couldn’t even name a member of that boy band. But no, not any of them.

Looks like Glenn Gould. But it looks like Olivier too, so who knows.
Is it a turkey part?

Looks like Glenn Gould. But it looks like Olivier too, so who knows. Is it a turkey part? Bingo! Glenn Gould Eccentric pianist from Canada, but world-renowned for his interpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations. I have almost all of his recordings. His eccentricities include: - sawing the bottom legs of his piano chair so that his eyes could be closer to the piano keys. Often, he dispensed with the conventional piano stool and brought his own little chair - bad piano posture - wore a heavy coat and gloves, even in hot summer days - gave phone interviews to journalists in the wee hours of the morning - sang out loud during his piano performances. It got so bad during recording sessions that they forced him to wear a gas mask so that his vocalizations weren't picked up by the mic - had a creepy obsession with fellow Canadian, Petula Clark, of "Downtown" fame - child prodigy

I didn't think anyone would get Glenn Gould.

The avatar is not Vivian Leigh. Wrong gender. Also, Leigh doesn't wear a tux.

I thought Vivian Leigh played a good nutjob in A Streetcar Named Desire. What I didn't know until later was that she actually suffered from mental illness in real life.

- had a creepy obsession with fellow Canadian, Petula Clark, of "Downtown" fame As opposed to a non-creepy obsession with Petula Clark?

Lengths of Time
A decade=10 years, a century=100 years, a millenium=1,000 years. So, what are the following lengths of time called?
2 years 3 years 4 years 5 years 15 years
(I had to look up "15 years." This is the only one I didn't know.)

2 years: "a Congress" 3 years: "a pop star career" 4 years: "an Olympiad" 5 years: "a redshirt senior" 15 years: "a dog" All this did was make me wonder about the average career length of a pop star. LOL!

Rachael Stirling plays Rebecca in the British TV series The Detectorists. She's making quite a name for herself in the British acting business. Which of the following actresses is her real life mother. (Photos are of their younger days, for comparison purposes.) Incidentally, Rachael Stirling's real life mother played her fictional mother in The Detectorists: Helen Mirren ( Prime Suspect) Diana Rigg (Mrs. Peel in The Avengers) Emma Thompson ( Sense and Sensibility) Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter movies) Jenny Agutter ( Logan's Run)
