A lot of child actors on the list, the youngest being Rory Culkin and the oldest Rory Stevens, as coincidence would have it. The most iconic younger role would likely be Jamie Waylett as Vincent Crabbe, the thuggish friend of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. But I decided to go with an older iconic role, Robin Williams' breakout role as Mork back from the 1970s.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the late Don Knotts, thanks for all the memories.
Prediction: Vasopressin will be commonly prescribed to combat memory loss.
Reality: The Almanac listed several drugs that are supposed to help with memory loss - lecithin, physostigmine, PRL-8-53 - but they gave final billing to vasopressin. According to Wikipedia, vasopressin prescribed to constrict blood vessels and to help retain water. There is no mention of any side effects dealing with memory. This could be filed in The Journal of Unreproducible Results .
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
More fun with Geoffrey Hoyle's predictions about 2010 from 1972.

*grin* Not exactly iconic but I got to check "paid author" off my bucket list.
You need to get your name on isfdb.org. That's the one people notice. ;^)
DeleteThe Brass Teapot is a macabre fantasy and may count as a genre credit for Ms. Temple as well. (Think a John Collier short story brought to the screen and slowed down.)
ReplyDeleteAdded to the list. Thanks.
DeleteHere's another for your cover guy: The Final Cut. Very, very creepy, and not at all the kind of thing you'd expect with Robin Williams. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364343/
ReplyDeleteAlso added, thanks to you as well.
