That's the one ! Well done. :)

Re: Catchphrase.

Margaret you're really switched on to these, well done!

Re: Catchphrase.

Now having big thoughts about that one of Garinda's.

Did think it would start with 'Going Down' ... then realised only one well-known phrase that it conjures up .... :o:D

Would probably get moved to the Over 18's !

The late actor River Phoenix.

Shot to fame as a ten year old, in the film Stand by Me.

Released in 1986.

When you were still in Blighty.

Re: Catchphrase.

Well, they say a wild guess is better than nothing, so my wild guess is 'Virginia Falls'

Are we expected to know who the man is ? :)

Is it Edward D Wood who directed the film Plan 9 From Outer Space, or maybe Johnny Depp who portrayed Wood in a film biography?

Actually Michael that's the only thought I came up with.

Re: Catchphrase.

Must be Virginia Woods then...

Virginia Mckenna plays Joy Adamson -thought it was her not the actress...(Hence Adams -ville attempt!)

It's the original Wood i think -Johnny Depp is much better looking;)

Looked it up there is a Virginia woods in Oz and I think the other is in America, California?

Seems Johnny Depp was owner of the club and was there the night he died -put him on the right track and he changed his lifestyle because of River Phoenix's death...lucky for him and for us!

Original artist Johnny.:)

(Just a thought - is Joaquim Phoenix related to River, Brother perhaps?)

Correct.

That was a bit of a cheat really, because you needed to know who the people were.

Virginia MaKenna, and the man, which was tougher was American film maker John Waters.

No clues.

Except you won't currently find him in Hello, but he was fairly high profile in the seventies, in this country.

She might even have posted the word.

Of course it's obviously Accrington web. Came to me at about 2.30am, not in a dream, I was awake! Got web a long time ago and was trying to get worldwide from the rest of the pics without success.

Gary I think the swimmer's cossy is inaccurate, don't know where you got the pic from but all the ones I've seen show him wearing a onepiece with straps over his shoulder. Shame on you as a fashion historian. ;)
