[PrettyinPink55]

I did not know that Beverly Cleary was still alive!! :eek: She was one of my favorite authors! I adored the "Ramona" books!

[Stuck In The '70's]

I thought Charles Lane was long gone. He's 100. :eek:

[webuster]

I don't know who a lot of those people are, I've heard of several (Jane Wyman etc) but the only ones I'd know who they are are June Havoc (The real life Baby June!), Olivia DeHavilland (Gone with the Wind, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte) and Robert Wise (Directed Sound of Music and West Side Story)
