Victoria Principal (I think) was in Dallas (Pam Ewing). That was huge viewing at the time I suppose.

Victoria Wood was on TV at the time.

Vincent was the malformed sewer beast in Beauty and the Beast.

Carolyn was 80th in 1964 ( and '54 funnily enough), so how come I've only ever met a handful of Carolyns? But Julie is second & I have 6 close friends called Julie, so that's certainly correct! (It does get very confusing round here - the Julie's get mixed up all the time!)
