Tyrann Mathieu, a football safety on the NO Saints, has had the nickname the Honey Badger since college.

Lora, at that, is a snake found in South America, so — how about Lora Lee Michel, from the Golden Age of Hollywood? She was — well, yes, she was the one playing the little-kid version of Jill Young so Terry Moore can play the all-grown-up version in MIGHTY JOE YOUNG; but, to bring this back around, she was also the one playing the little-kid version of Virginia Cunningham so Olivia de Havilland can play the all-grown-up version in THE SNAKE PIT.

Another entry for the list that is and the list that never was: Oscar winner Emerald Fennell, writer/director/producer of SALTBURN and PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN — whom you maybe recognize as Camilla Parker Bowles, from THE CROWN.

If anyone here is a fan of RESIDENT ALIEN, then you can back me up on the fact that Jenna Lamia is terrific at what she does on the show…

And, for that matter: Annette Bening did a terrific job of portraying record-breaking swimmer Diana Nyad.

“Winston Churchill’s chief military assistant during the Second World War” — who then went on to serve as the first secretary general of NATO — was Pug Ismay.
