You're welcome, Krisles. She's one of my favorite actresses, too.
I especially loved her performances in two very underrated movies, "Dolores Claiborne" and "The Hudsucker Proxy".

Madame
Thank you! Oh, I know she had nothing to do with that! My brain doesn't care about that! It just jumps at the slightest connection and wants to know NOW! Thanks, again! Enjoyed the post, btw.

Oh, I get what you're saying, now!
Sorry, my brain's in a fog.

The brilliant actress Jennifer Jason Leigh is Morrow's daughter ... she had nothing to do with his accident, though.

How can I possibly know the answer?
If I don't understand the question?

I don't understand, Krisles ...
Vic Morrow's daughter? What are you talking about?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Dennison!

Chill, Joe.
You know I was just joking!

I'll delete it ... if you want?

Madame P.O.
I was really expecting you to have something on MM's death anniversary yesterday..when I saw something on my I Won news page about some guy trying to, yet again, get the investigation re-opened...or something like that...anyway... I can't think, Vic Morrow's daughter?...and I really like her...

Ohhhh. . , and after you read the comment below
please delete it, Dear. Just trying to point out that I don't place that jealous chick-shit.

Damn! You Mean To Tell Me That I Bought...

a ham sandwich on eBay with a bite out of it and it's NOT the one Cass Elliot was eating when she died? I paid $18,293.45 for that stupid sandwich! I wanted a piece of rock'n'roll history!

Oh, and, if I am unable to confirm a given story ...
I will note this, by (ironicly enough) writing "unconfirmed" next to it ... so as not to compromise my journalistic credibility.

I suspect you will see that label quite a bit next week.

Thank you so much, Layla.
I really do feel as if I'm contributing to the betterment of society.

You are correct, Frankenkitty.

I knew about Mama Cass
But the other ones...well. Now my supply of trivia is a little bigger.

LOL... I couldn't have answered any of those...

You mean to tell me. . ,
that Mama Cass didn't choke to death while eating?? Hmmmmm. I'm going to have to look that one up.

Interesting facts!

Wow, I am not surprised
that  I didn't know one single answer. This was a very interesting quiz.  Boy, Heroine seemed to be a big problem in that time period. Didn't Billie Holliday die of a heroine overdose? Or am I thinking of someone else?  Take care

You see, Straightforward, that's what known as...
a "secret plug" ... or, if you prefer, a "subconscious segue-way"!

Hey, some death quiz! And I actually got here after I saw a comment of
yours on another blog about not being late for one's funeral.
