2. Heh, Martin Mull still does the show! |
|
And does anyone know who Yvonne Elliman is? I'm too lazy to google it.

|
She's some sort of musician.

8. Yvonne Elliman played Mary Magdalene (sp?) in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR... |
|
...and in 1978, she had a #1 hit with her disco recording, "If I Can't Have You."
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby. If I can't have you. Uh-huh-huh!

6. I'd put Hollywood Squares *ahem* squarely in the realm of |
|
Baby Boomers, not Gen Xers. Especially with the group of celebs in that picture. But that's just me... :)

9. Well, I was born in 1966... |
|
...and I vividly remember all of those celebrities from my childhood. And I'm quite sure "Hollywood Squares" was still being produced as late as 1977 or '78.
Tell you what, though: we'll divvy the show up between our respective generations! Fair enough? :hi:

10. I hate to break this to you, but I think you ARE a boomer!! |
|
I could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing once that the Baby Boomer generation includes those born between 1946-1966. Either way, you are on the cusp!
Now that I think about it, I remember watching this in the 60's, and the guests then were Paul Lynde, Charlie Weaver, Wally Cox, George Gobel, Rosemarie, etc. I think your picture really is more of a Gen X celeb list!
:) :hi:

7. Didn't George Gobel kill himself? |
|
Or was that someone else?
Probably anyone who's been on that show at least CONSIDERED it.

11. No, I don't think so. |
|
You may be thinking of Wally Cox. There was a rumor that he killed himself, but I don't know how accurate it was.
