    The other clue they sometimes have on Barbara Bach is about her husband — Barbara and Ringo Starr will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in 2021.

    Long Showbiz Marriages would make a good category

    VJ,

    Nice of you to add the backstory of your start in Season 28. Well done back then, even for a rookie!
    Hope you are feeling better, day by day.

    Tom played a brilliant stellar game today. He and Roger were pretty much dominant throughout the 2011 tournament. Congrats to the semifinalists. What crime has corday committed to make her lose her head, VJ?

      Lou, the clue itself tells you she committed murder. I told you in the recap that she killed Jean-Paul Marat. There is a painting by Jacques Louis David of the notorious event that is even more famous than the one I showed in the recap. This article on WorkStation.com will tell you a lot more and it shows both paintings.
