I didn’t even know Kate Hepburn existed until I saw news that she died. I was vaguely aware of Audrey from Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Sabrina.

I assume they’re related?

I would think that the majority of photos they would use would not be public domain.

Thanks 🙂

I have picked up a People now and again if someone else has it, but they don’t cover past stars very well, methinks. All I really remember are celebrity couples stories, like Ben and J-Lo, the break-up of Tom and Nicole (+ penelope), Harrison and Calista, the break-up of MacCaulay Culkin’s marriage, Ashton and Demi. That’s about it. I remember most of these because they are odd (to me) in some way.

I was sort of encouraged that women are now robbing the cradle, as well as men. Equal opportunity and all that 😉

In retrospect, I like your version better too, but I have question: Is the Notorious VIC being backed by DJ Dizzy, by any chance?
