Sorry to disappoint but I have Michael AND the Capt. lol

I'm trying to think of what you can do with Dan Quayle. (Not much, I'm sure)

As far as Michael Jackson, is the nose included? ha

Hey TX, I thought 99.9% of the people I listed were pretty well known. Maybe you're too young to recognize them?


Another from NY: Philip Seymour Hoffman (Actor- Doubt)
OK you can have the Capt. as far as Michael Jackson yes the nose goes~~both of them and I will even send you a personal picture of the tiny house he grew up in along with the Jackson family in Gary. Now can we have Michael Landon?

Does the nose come with velcro OR do I have to supply that myself?

I'll send a whole 'glove' full! Why would a person do that to themselves and then think they look great?

SOLD!! lol

Only problem, you'll have to pick him up in Calif. now. ha


It's so sad what MJ did to himself, isn't it? I suppose too many celebrities equate their looks with their self-worth. He sure has more than his share of mental health issues. Yikes!

I often wonder how his children are doing & what sad, sad stories we'll hear from them once they're on their own. Imagine growing up with such a nutty father?

I have seriously neglected entertainment when I can only name Julia Roberts and Neal Boortz.

I thought Pat Conroy was from SC. He has a way with words, Lewis certainly did and Celestine Sibley or course Peggy did pretty well and Henry Grady.

Must be 'a lot' of writers from the Coastal Empire, too.
I guess Julia Gordon Low is something of a celebrity.

Thanx ~~

Pat Conroy went to The Citadel and then taught on the islands in SC and has written many of his stories based on the Low Country, but he is Atlanta born and bred.

Two of the most famous southern writers from Georgia are Carson McCullers (Columbus) and Flannery O'Connor (Milledgeville).
