Notes on the birthday list.
1. The Picture Slot. So many choices. Last year, I went with Terry Ferrell and made some comment about women I lusted after turning 50, but Kathleen Quinlan turns 60 today and I lusted after her as well. For fabulous babes, I would say both Jodie Foster and Gene Tierney qualify for iconic in genre as well as gorgeous, so they have a good chance next year, as does Robert Beltran. But this year it's Alan Young, put in make-up to look like an old man in the 1960 version of The Time Machine. Guess what? Now he is an old man and he looks much better than this. More than that, he's 95 today AND he's still working! Good on ya, Mr. Young.
2. Emigrated to Canada. It's no secret in the industry how much work there is in Canada now, and many actors born elsewhere move to Canada. There are three actors with Canadian looking C.V.s, but none of them were born there. Nigel Bennett is a Scot that moved to Canada, Sandrine Holt was born in England and her family moved to Canada when she was five, and Kristian Ayre's story is much the same.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list, especially Alan Young, and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.

Prediction: The next war will be fought with nuclear warheads mounted on inter-continental ballistic missiles.
Reality: When I began this blog in early 2013, one of the first people to contact me with an interesting link was Ian Abrams of Drexel University. The story doesn't give an exact date for the next war, but it does predict how it will be fought. Luckily for us, we've gone nearly seventy years and nothing like this has happened. Still, this article, officially vetted by the Pentagon to be published in LIFE magazine at the height of its circulation, is one of the earliest and most potent sources of the biggest fear we lived with for at least forty years, toe-to-toe nuclear confrontation with the Russkies. Recall that when it is written, we are the only nuclear power and intercontinental missiles do not yet exist.
I very rarely repeat a prediction on this blog, but I declare November 19th as You Have Official Permission To Freak The Fuck Out Day. Again, thanks to Ian Drexel for creating the webpage and giving me a link to it when this blog was in its infancy.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Thursday belongs to Lee de Forest's view of the wonders of the year 2000, predicted in 1960.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
