Wow, I can't believe ___________ was the same person who did ____________!

also, was reminded the other day that 'Anouchka' from Terry, Blair & Anouchka was Anouchka Grose, the Lacanian psychoanalyst and author of articles for the Guardian, Daily Mail, Evening Standard etc

Terry, Blair & Anouchka was a musical outfit, active in the early 1990s. The group was formed by Coventry born singer Terry Hall, American actress Blair Booth and jeweller Anouchka Grose. Anouchka was formerly the lead singer and guitarist of Urmin Spindle, an acid folk group who played songs about the dark heart of the rural dream and their chemical estrangement from nature.[clarification needed]

Albert Lamorisse, director of The Red Balloon and White Mane, also created the board game Risk

This is well-known now, but back in the '90s I remember being surprised to find out that Conan O'Brien, the talk show host on the telly, also wrote that Simpsons episode with Leonard Nimoy in it.

I remember reading that Face interview at the time. It's such a ghastly drawing in the tradition of horribly lifeless and overworked A level art projects with no colour sense or flair - god knows who'd want that on their wall!

I bet £500 could go a long way back in them days...I'm rich!

he was a teenager and it probably sold mostly to teenagers

Johnny Cash entered the air force when he was 18, and was eventually shipped out to Landsberg, West Germany, where he worked as a Morse code operator intercepting Soviet Army transmissions. He was the first American to hear of the death of Joseph Stalin.
