  Try to GUESS the 'late' celebrities who landed a place on the top ten incomes over the last year.

  Yes.....Elvis would be number one, earning $49 million.

Lil Me

Frank Sinatra?
 
 He certainly gets enough airplay with my parents and their friends.  Mind you, they're not buying any NEW Frank, just playing the same old.

I saw this on TV.  The one that I thought was interesting was Albert Einstein!  

P.C.

Frankie didn't make it Lil Me.

  Albert Einstein DID however.....and I was equally surprised JJ.

Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.

That's a good one Lise.....but lovable Johnny didn't make the list.

Lil Me

Jimi Hendrix?
 Kurt Cobain?
 John Lennon?
 
 (Martin Luther King?...Is he a "celebrity"?)

P.C.

John Lennon is number two on the list Lil Me.

  *If Albert Einstein is a celebrity, so is Martin Luther.....who is not on the list.

WOW.....James Dean is actually number 13......so we'll say the top 13 instead of the top 10.

Bill Cosby.

P.C.

You know what Lise.....THAT is the best guess EVER.....and yet he is not on the list.  That just doesn't seem right.  There's got to be some technicality that has made Disney not make this list.  I wonder if it's because it's a corporation and not an individual ?  Now I'm curious.
