I share mine with Orange Skinner apparently. And Muhammad Ali, Jim Carrey, Kid Rock, James Earl Jones, Betty White, Eartha Kitt (the Dopers are on their way to getting the Catwomen covered), Vidal Sassoon, Al Capone, Mack Sennett and ANNE BRONTE!! (as well as Skinner’s already noted Andy Kaufman, Sheri Lewis and Benjamin Franklin). I think we 17 Jans win.🆒 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Berkut \* > \*\*Edgar Allen Poe > Robert E.

Hmmph. At least you can add me to your list. I knew about Poe, but I didn’t know about Dolly or Janis. Cool. I missed George Burns, McCoy, and my dad by about 2 hours. ---
