Michael Hopcroft 1,464 Report post Posted December 30, 2018 48 minutes ago, Cancer said: Can't argue with the first three, but after that most of them are unknowns to me. Most of the people on the list are British actors who were mainly notable in their homeland. DT would probably find an American notables list rather confusing. But later on in the list, you get icons like Charles Aznavour and Dolores O'Riordan (of the Cranberries). Aznavour lived more than ninety years and was one of the great stories of persistence being rewarded -- he was in his forties when he became famous and left a legacy for the ages as a performer and songwriter. O'Riordan took herself out of the world far too soon, leaving behind some of the great recordings of the '90s and "00s with songs like "Zombie" and "Linger".

Michael Hopcroft 1,464 Report post Posted December 31, 2018 Kimishige Ishizaka looks like the character who sacrificed Tokyo Bay (and himself) to kill Godzilla in the original film. But his achievements are admirable. I had not seen the term psycho-oncology before, but what little I read about it sounds fascinating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
