(or are the typesetters lazy here?)</li> <li>Don’t 4-letter prepositions get capitalized in titles? They look very odd l.c.</li></ul> <p>viii why is "Circa" capitalized? And italic c there should be Roman, with a period</p> <p>*26 Sydney Biddle Barrows under Biddle?</p> <p>30 add "congressman" to Sonny Bono?</p> <p>31 only listing for Joseph Bottoms references his brothers, should be added to theirs</p> <p>32 add "Everybody Loves Raymond" to Peter Boyle?</p> <p>61 John Dahl’s birthdate given as 1960s instead of C or c. 196x</p> <p>66 Need comma at "See Bramlett, Delaney, <font face="Wingdings">ß</font> and Bramlett, Bonnie"?</p> <p>76 Under Edwards, Cliff, song title: Upon?</p> <p>84 I’d add a/k/a Larry to Laurence Fishburne’s entry; he was often billed that way (<i>Red Heat</i>, e.g.) (also: capitalize <i>With </i>in film title?)</p> <p>85 Flo & Eddie, same as Delaney and Bonnie (66) – need comma before "and"?</p> <p>96 Peri Gilpin: put "Frasier" in quotes, TV</p> <p>98 Add comma to Gooding, Cuba, Jr. (also 286 under CUBA)</p> <p>102 Lady Jane Grey: should Lady be in bold? I don’t think so….</p> <p>107 Leigh Harline: "Upon" u.c.?</p> <p>113 I’d make entry for Pee-wee Herman "See Paul Reubens" and change 204 accordingly</p> <p>118 Curly, Moe, Shemp Howard missing "brother of" cross-refs</p> <p>118 Ron Howard entry lacks ref to dad Rance (and someday maybe add brother Clint?), and Rance’s entry should say Father of Ron without the "Howard"</p> <p>126 David Johansen also actor (<i>Scrooged</i>)</p> <p>126 Shouldn’t John Pauls go before John, Augustus?

Why is this so inconsistent?!</p> <p>131 DeForest Kelley: shouldn’t <i>Star Trek</i> be in Roman and quotes? TV first before movies</p> <p>134 Kathy Kinney b. 1954 (? – I thought E.T. last week said she was 46, but IMDb says 1954)</p> <p>139 A note from Trip Payne: I really think it's weird to include "Elia Lamb (Charles Lamb)" -- he was mainly known as Charles Lamb, and Elia was the alias. That's like using "Boz Dickens (Charles Dickens)", I think.</p> <p>142 Shouldn’t Lawrence (of Arabia) precede Lawrence, Carol?</p> <p>149 Jennifer Lopez is Mex.-Am.? She’s from the Bronx, isn’t she?</p> <p>154 Sheila MacRae: add semi-colon after Meredith</p> <p>158 E.G. Marshall: birth year should have a ? after it; some sources give 1914 instead of 1910</p> <p>160 Victor Mature: birth year not certain, should add a ?</p> <p>163 Mary McDonnell: capitalize With?</p> <p>170 Mr. T: almost certainly not Tereaud, but leave other two</p> <p>170 Guy Mitchell: also actor; real name might be Cernick</p> <p>172 add Moody, Helen Wills <i>see Wills, Helen</i> ?</p> <p>174 Mother Teresa under M?</p> <p>178 Judd Nelson: lowercase s on <strike>S</strike>eries</p> <p>183 Chris O’Donnell: move close parens from after [1993] to after <i>The Chamber</i></p> <p>187 Gwyneth Paltrow: move close parens from after <i>Bone</i> to end of listing (how’d we miss the Oscar?)</p> <p>187 Anna Paquin: long dashes O – 1994 – <i>The Piano</i></p> <p>190 Bill Paxton: "Helena" divides after the L</p> <p>190 Octavio Paz: close parens after –1998</p> <p>190 Peaches & Herb: lose comma after "Francine"?</p> <p>193 Phoenix, Rain close parens after Rainbow Phoenix (delete comma)</p> <p>197 Parker Posey: capitalize From?</p> <p>199 Randy Quaid missing ref to brother Dennis</p> <p>200 Why is Queen Latifah under Q?</p> <p>201 Dirk Rambo missing ref to brother Dack</p> <p>212 Mickey Rourke: IMDb says b. 1953. IMDb also says he studied at Lee Strasberb [sic]. Almanac backs up birth date. Except I made a note that E.T. announced his 43<sup>rd</sup> birthday in Sep, which means 1956. I’m leaning toward splitting the difference and calling it 1953.</p> <p>224 Elisabeth Shue: "sister of Andrew"</p> <p>228 Snoop Doggy Dogg now known as Snoop Dogg</p> <p>244 Donald Trump – break line executive/financier/ <font face="Symbol">·</font> writer</p> <p>246 Liv Tyler: Bebe Buell has no listing in book, should be deleted here</p> <p>251 Donnie and Mark Wahlberg both missing "brother of" references</p> <p>257 Dottie West missing "mother of Shelly"</p> <p>267 Daphne Zuniga: IMDb says b. 1963, World Almanac says 1962</p> <p>302 under HARRY add comma and Jr. to Connick (also, 373 and 375, add commas to Connick, Jr. at CONNICK and GOODACRE)</p> </html> ===== Necrology ===== ==== 1999 ==== <html> <p>3 Alice Adams</p> <p>4 Joey Adams</p> <p>5 Martin Agronsky</p> <p>7 Rex Allen</p> <p>11 John Archer (real last name Bowen?
