Looks more like Jerry Van Dyke, but yes, it's Michael Dukakis. Didn't realize he was still alive. I used to live in Massachusetts when he was governor. I saw pictures of him a lot.

Ah. A trivial point. Well, I am here to make mln happy.
Today's theme is "In the shower."
1. What Psycho actor died, shocking audiences, in the most famous shower scene in Hollywood history? 2. Bridal showers are called “showers” because, in Victorian times, gifts were collected in a common household object. When opened, this object would “shower” the bride in gifts. What was that object?
3. In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Ferris sings a Wayne Newton song twice—once atop a parade float, and once, at the beginning of the movie, in the shower. Name that song!
4. What hobby are you partaking in if you are practicing the “Shower” and the “Cascade” patterns?
5. In Greek myth, Zeus visits Danaë in the form of a shower of gold. Who is Danaë’s son?

Janet Leigh ... or was it? Now I don't remember who played the murder victim and who played her sister. 2. 3. Danke Schoen (Googled for spelling only) 4. 5. I really should know this. Perseus, maybe?

And I believe Janet Leigh is right.
Correction. I know it is because Jamie Lee Curtis recreated it (her daughter, with Tony Curtis).

Speaking of psycho I watched it for the first time this year and have to wonder if Norman bates is the most creepy villain in history? Certainly on my list of most hated villain.

Quickie Quiz: Who is this little girl? (Hint: She grows up to be famous. Come to think of it, all the photo hints are "He/she is famous.")
