  2. Boney M -- Milli Vanilli
    In some ways, Boney M were a glam act for the late 70s. God bless Bobby! He would prance and leap around with comical faces as if a firework had been let off in his pants. The sight of him on TOTP with the Rasputin beard and attempting Russian dancing is something that scarred millions of young memories!
  3. Eleanor Roosevelt -- Husband
    Eleanor Roosevelt survived her husband by nearly 20 years. In 1960, at age 76, Roosevelt's health began to fail her. Roosevelt died at her Manhattan apartment. At her memorial service, Adlai Stevenson asked, "What other single human being has touched and transformed the existence of so many?" Stevenson ... said that Roosevelt was someone "who would rather light a candle than curse the darkness."
  4. Mary Pickford -- Years
    Mary Pickford was born Gladys Louise Smith on April 8th, 1892, in Toronto, Ontario, to John Charles Smith and Charlotte Hennessy. She was the eldest of three children. Her father was an alcoholic and died when she was young. Following his death, her mother began to take in boarders. Thanks to one of those guests, seven-year-old Gladys obtained a part at Toronto's Princess Theatre in a stock company production of The Silver King. Thereafter, Gladys was given roles in numerous melodramas and became a popular child actress in Toronto.
  5. Joanna Lumley -- New Avengers

  6. Lil Kim -- Lil' Kim
    Lil' Kim, a Grammy Award winner, is a rather sexually frank rapper who seems really intent on being the Cher of the new generation in terms of revealing gowns at awards shows. As men have been naz-tee on wax for decades; why shouldn't a woman get into the act? Lil' Kim is a hero! Then again, her fame came on the considerable coattails of a former boyfriend, whose fame, talent and legend are much greater; that's not exactly girl power. Anyway, who was the John to Kim's Yoko? That was a question of Wral.com's Birthday Quiz.
  7. Petula Clark
    Petula Clark (born November 15, 1932 in Surrey, England) is a British singer, actress, and composer. She began her career as a child and was popular in Britain during World War II. In the 1950s, she became a successful pop singer, first in the UK, then in continental Europe, and finally in the United States in the mid-1960s. Her most famous song is "Downtown," which was recorded in four languages and sold nearly five million copies worldwide. Her films include The Card (1952), The Runaway Bus (1956), Finian's Rainbow (1968), and Goodbye, Mr. Chips. She continues to record and perform in concert.
  8. Patsy Cline -- Years
    One of the greatest singers in the history of country music, Patsy Cline ... helped blaze a trail for female singers to assert themselves as an integral part of the Nashvilledominated country music industry. She was not alone in this regard; Kitty Wells had become a star several years before Cline's big hits in the early '60s. Brenda Lee, who shared Cline's producer, did just as much to create a countrypop crossover during the same era; Skeeter Davis briefly enjoyed similar success.
  9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) -- Jim Carrey
    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the most original films to come out in a long time. Its screenplay won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 2005 and after you see the film you know why. In an age of constant remakes and imitative plots, this film clearly travels some new ground as it freely combines elements of romance with science fiction, reality with imagination, and present time with that of the past and the future. Much of the credit must go to author Charlie Kaufman, known ... for "Being John Malkovich,'' who has done the unthinkable in today's commercial film world -- create a project with amazing creativity that clearly is a writer's film. The great direction by Michel Gondry is another asset, well-paced and stimulating throughout. And by the way, (and isn't this the way films should be) some great performances from the well-cast ensemble, featuring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet.
  10. Beltaine -- Eve
    After Persephone 'faded' Beltaine was for a few years completely alone, with only the remaining Guardians for company. She spent the time recalling what she could of her mother's mindsong and gradually learning to twist it to her own ends and ... to 'tune in' to the Soulstones as they appeared. She drew on their power, and the echoes of magical knowledge/memories within them to escape, but the stones seemed to be largely burned out by that experience and have been near-dormant since. Certainly, abandoning herself to the influence of the stones is not an experiment she has ever been keen to repeat - it was the kind of thing a child didn't think twice about and just did intuitively but which is a thoroughly terrifying thought to Beltaine now she is older.
