Most of them made me think "why are they mentioned?" run of the mill politicians especially and ho hum athletes. Donna douglas was one I remember well from beverly hillbillies. Damn near all the actors on that show have died. I think max baer may be the only one still around. Almost all the entertainers and interesting people from my childhood have died.
