this, but i'll get to it when possible...




A tragic suicide, a likely murder, wrongful imprisonment, and gripping courtroom scenes draw readers into this compelling story giving them a frightening perspective on justice corrupted and who should be accountable when evidence is withheld. Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice is the true story of the strong-arm, illegal, and unethical tactics used by headline-grabbing federal prosecutors in their narcissistic pursuit of power. Its scope reaches from the US Department of Justice to the US Senate, the FBI, and the White House. This true story is a scathing attack on corrupt prosecutors, the judges who turned a blind eye to these injustices, and the president who has promoted them to powerful political positions.

IIRC, the movie The Benny Goodman Story has him dying at the end but he was still alive. Or maybe it was the Gene Kruppa Story.

Forgot all about him.

I knew Rose Marie would come to me eventually. 

 
I had Jan but a complete blank for a last name and I knew Allen was half of a comedy team but I couldn't for the life of me think of either of their names.   I remember hearing on NPR of some research that came to the conclusion the the reason us geezers forget so much stuff is we just have so much more stuff to remember.   I'm going to try not to forget that.

  9. Is that Lily Tomlin?     My best guess, I'd say 80% sure.
  10. Lamont, right?


 
  
  I know 2 and 5 too and their names will come to me eventually.  I'm an old fart.
 
Edit and a slow typist too.  It looks like we have consensus.  It's a terrible picture of Lily.

2. Jan Murray - very forgettable comedian despite being on TV incessantly from the '50s to the '70s.
3. Rose Marie 
5. Marty ("Hello dere") Allen
