Canadian TV icon/Movie Guru, Elwy Yostdies at age 86.
Other Canadians will likely also have fond memories of watching old movies with our friend Elwy every Saturday Night. *Saturday Night at the Movies *was an institution at our house. A chance to watch a couple of wonderful old movies along with witty and informed discussion about those movies hosted by Elwy. Great memories. We will miss you, Elwy.
Why oh why did I pick the American movie guru icon? Roger lives on and Elwy passes on … I should have shopped Canadian. Sigh.
While this sad, untimely (because I didn’t have her) death puts you in the lead, I wouldn’t say that I cannot win. I’m only 15 behind, and Critical Mass is just two points further back.
After I found of the latest reports on her slurred voice performances and walkouts out of stage I figure out that she was going down.
I’ll take the 73 points as it is not likely that I will get any for the dictator of the Ivory Coast that decided to let the opposition troops capture him instead of getting the deserved bullet to the head.
Twenty-seven people had Amy on their lists. In picks she was #10 this year, behind Aretha Franklin, Michael Douglas, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Fidel Castro, Kim Jong Il, Ariel Sharon, Lindsay Lohan, Margaret Thatcher, and Dick Cheney.
I don’t really know who Amy Winehouse was. Nonetheless, various obits keep listing her as a singer. From my limited understanding, I was under the impression she was best known as a drunk.
Thanks (I think) for the link. What a collection. I also note the distinction between heroin overdose and “accidental” heroin overdose. Murdered and shot as well.
