Great job, kitap! Funny. I was thinking someone under 30 in the 70s but most likely not alive today would be a character with questionable lifestyle choices. Also, last night I was scanning TCM’s upcoming schedule and even made a note to record _Taxi Driver_ which is on tonight!!, but didn’t make the connection. Spent about 5 minutes trying to remember Jane Fonda’s fellow call girl’s name in Klute, until I remember she was murdered and definitely wouldn’t be alive today.
