William Klein died last year, one way to tell them apart.

finally got them straightened out, but back when --

Denis Villeneuve
Olivier Assayas

xp oops

the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually still dead

Mary Kay Place
Mary Beth Hurt

Long thread to search, so maybe this has been mentioned before: George Maharis (Route 66, just died) and George Chakiris (West Side Story).

^Was just thinking the exact same thing

I literally mixed them up when I read the post in the obituary thread.

Might've posted this one before, but:

Karen Allen
Karen Black

Karen Allen
Brooke Adams

Karen Allen, Brooke Adams, and Margot Kidder were once so similar looking that they joked about making a movie together

Lock thread!

I feel like we have discussed the Margot Kidder / Karen Allen / Debra Winger before

karen allen best

Irwin Winkler
Henry Winkler

Carroll Baker
Sue Lyon

Graham Parker
Graham Bond

I could never keep Graham Parker and Graham Parsons apart until the No Depression era, when the later's reputation totally eclipsed the Pazz & Jop fav.

Harry Chapin
Harry Nilsson

(Not really, but I did talk about the one not long ago when I meant the other)

Carroll Baker
Sue Lyon

Harry Chapin
Harry Nilsson

(Not really, but I did talk about the one not long ago when I meant the other)

xp -- it may have been but I wasn't going to open the whole thread to find out.

Royal Blood
Surfer Blood
Weyes Blood

my other, much-maligned thread

Which one?

Future Edition, for when we're all addle-brained.

We went to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on Tuesday and I've only just realised that I've been mixing up these two when talking about it pre- and post-gig for the last few weeks when a friend incredulously replied to my retelling of events that he didn't know Stevie Ray Vaughan was in the E Street Band. Bah.

The Parallax View
The Ipcress File

Kansas
Nebraska

I have this theory that The Beatles sing the word "nonpareil" with a weird accent in their version of "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey" but I stand kind of alone with this theory. Maybe someone else even presented it to me long ago, but they are not around to comment.

"Non-pearl"?

What?

You know, it means one-of-a-kind!

Ha!
