I’m not quite old enough to have seen her in her prime, but RIP, Ms. Page. I first really heard about her since she was the model for Cliff Secord’s girlfriend in [\*\*Dave Steven’s \*\*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Stevens)[\*\*\*The Rocketeer \*\*\*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocketeer)comics.

Did anyone else see the Gretchen Mol bioflick a few years ago? It was actually quite good – very evocative.

And I won’t comment on the fact that with less than three weeks left, I finally scored in the '08 Death Pool.

I’m absolutely gutted. ☹ What a thing to wake up to.
