Channeling my inner Glen Campbell…By the time I got to “this city” …it was way too late. I agree that connecting rising from the ashes is way to go. Will anyone get there in time? I think it’s the only way to go. I’ll say 0/3
I think the only chance they’ve got is with the reborn part of the clue. Connecting that to rising from the ashes is the way to go. I got around to it too late.
I’ll also try ONE right. I wonder if someone will go with the Baldwin bros.
In a odd coincidence, the brother that died at age 23 had a role as a kid in Celebrity, the miniseries I mentioned last week. It was his 2nd role and he played the 11-year-old son of the actor Joseph Bottoms. How weird is that, when Bottom was the last name he was born with?
I had no guess on this one. I knew the two most famous brothers in this family, but I didn’t know there was a wider acting family. I’ll say 1/3.
