Since I killed your thread:
Glenn Flossworker
Harry Meathead
Margaret Carbohydrate
Dan Ambivalent
Anderson Barrelmaker
Barbara Threebrennans
Shirley Cannibismound
Shirley Fiends
[/QUOTE]
These are beautiful, and I wasn’t aware you killed the thread.
Anderson Cooper
Shirley Hemphill
Surely that can’t be Margaret Whiting.
Or Dan Rather

Just curious: are these radio and TV types? NPR even?
Harry Reasoner, maybe
Diane Ladd isn’t, though

All can (or could be) currently accessed on TV, except Cannibismound and Flossworker.*
All correct except for Margaret.
Thanks for the Eliot hint. Must be Glenn Miller?
How about hints for Threebrennans, Fiends, and Carbohydrate?

Think chemically singular, chemically-dependent and simply chemically.
Glenn Miller is correct.

Margaret Cho (C-H-O are the symbols for carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, respectively)

Thanks, Sternvogel. The little chemistry I had back in 1957 was not up to the task. Want to expand on the Brennans concept?

[/QUOTE]
Both correct.
Zeldar, I was going for the idea of a singular Brennan would be Walter; Threebrennans would be Walters.
New:
Eleanor Putonatint.

Nice work with the Brennans! I’m just slow, I guess.
Donahue?
Does Shirley Fiends have to do with Addicts? Or being hooked? This may be another Shirley who has yet to meet me.

Donahue is correct.
It’s Shirley Jones. What do you have against Shirleys? Actually, you got Hemphill, which I wasn’t sure you’d be on to.
I had another one I jotted down last night but forgot to bring the scrap of paper.
Are there any outstanding?
There may be others outstanding, but here’s a new batch with more stretching required. Not that they’re any harder to guess, but I’m relaxing my efforts to be one-step-away which was driving my earlier choices.

Knotts, but I tried real hard to make it Rickles!
Good work on mine. I assume you’ll give Sarah another shot?
As for Lew and my age, I assume you’ve seen Airplane! and I really don’t recall any reference to Lew except as Alcindor there. He was already Kareem by then, right? I wanted him to get into tennis so he could be Ace Kareem. Or maybe even into rap.
Still hanging:

Okay. First the clues:

Calvin Mobius – (math/fashion)
Jesse Lift-daughter – (well, not daughter so much)
Ricky Hammerlock – (unfortunate rock celebrity)
Then, a few shots:

Ah, the clue helped – Bob Costas (cost us)
And so did that hint – Calvin Klein, who could drink from Klein’s bottle, but not a Klein bottle!
