    I have to say this was a very competitive game from all the players although i di wish patrick would win again but it didn’t happen. Gauravi was pretty quick on the buzzer and brenda was pretty close with her response. I don’t know much about the freds of hollywood do you Vj?

    • VJ says:

      Well, yeah, Lou — I watched “My Three Son” when I was a kid. My kids watched “The Wonder Years.” I saw “Double Indemnity” and the Fredric March movie and I’ve seen a few movies with the very famous dancer Fred. I was amazed they didn’t get that one.

      Maybe a clue on “I’m Too Sexy” Fred would have been more contemporary.

        Fred Astaire is not really known now among the young people. I think Fred Astaire will be mostly forgotten in 40 years, unlike Charlie Chaplin.
