I want the winner to be Mary Lou Lord, but most other sources say she was born in 1965, which is probably more like it.


I’m going to give today’s prize to Michael King, just because his IMDb page is such a mess. As much as I want to believe he could have been on the crew of Breaking Away at the age of eight, I’m pretty sure that must have been some other person by that name. I will always have such a soft spot in my heart for that film. It’s one of the first – if not the first – non-G-rated non-Star-Warsy films I remember being taken to see in the theater as a kid. That freeze-frame of Paul Dooley at the end…I’m pretty sure my face will be making that expression quite a bit as Clementine’s teenage years bear down upon me.
