J.G. Bennett
J.G. Ballard

Speaking of J.G. Ballard always puts me in mind of Crash (1996) vs. Crash (2004).

Then you get Robert Ballard, who is associated with the Titanic. Which kinda famously... crashed.

(I've only just discovered these are different people, Dave Courtney would have been 14 when he started writing songs with Leo Sayer otherwise.)

Annabel Croft
Annabel Giles (RIP)

Like, I know who they both are and what they're famous for, but get their names confused. And I did therefore think for ages that Midge Ure was married to the former-tennis-player one.

― ailsa, Saturday, 25 November 2023 17:28 (two years ago)

Yeah, I get them mixed up too.

But what about David Thewlis?

― Judi Dench's Human Hand (methanietanner), Monday, 27 November 2023 19:17 (two years ago)

Never heard of Thewlis, but yeah, I'd probably have mixed him up with Pryce and Warner (RIP BTW). xps

― Rimbaud: First Blood (Leee), Monday, 27 November 2023 19:20 (two years ago)

I always think of him as Knox Harrington, the video artist.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Monday, 27 November 2023 19:26 (two years ago)

David Thewlis
David Threlfall

― How old Cary Grant? (Tom D.), Monday, 27 November 2023 20:14 (two years ago)

David Thewlis wasn't on our radar screen, then he was ubiquitous for approximately seventeen minutes, and then just as promptly vanished from popular culture. (Speaking as a USian here. One assumes his career arc is perceived differently in the UK.)

Anyway Martin Donovan looks like Jeff Bridges

that would make cool keyboard duel

― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 30 November 2023 19:31 (two years ago)

I knew they were different people who did different things, but I realized that I conflated Kirsty MacColl and Natasha Richardson as 2nd generation celebrities married to entertainment personalities who died young while on vacation.

― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 30 November 2023 20:52 (two years ago)

Halfway, I respect your posts but that there is an extremely ambiguous sentence

― Iris Demented (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:04 (two years ago)

I knew who sang and who acted, but I had to make a mental effort to sort out who was married to whom and who died under what circumstances.

― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:20 (two years ago)

Their widowed husbands are still alive as far as I know if that's what you mean.

― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:23 (two years ago)

Which entertainment personality was Kirsty MacColl married to?

― Tom D has a right to defend himself (Tom D.), Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:26 (two years ago)

Steve Lilywhite

― Tapioca by Jean Sibelius (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:30 (two years ago)

... the entertainment personality.

― Tom D has a right to defend himself (Tom D.), Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:31 (two years ago)

Well, he works in entertainment.

Although, apparently divorced at the time of her death.

― Halfway there but for you, Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:32 (two years ago)

Father of her two children.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 30 November 2023 21:33 (two years ago)

I'd have said Steve Lillywhite was married to Kirsty MacColl not the other way round.
