Barbara who?

Edit: seriously, I couldn't tell you what she's done. Sing? Movies? Both?

Oh dear... I assume you're being sincere, so no shade or anything like that. I just realized exactly how old I am relative to you and the other person who posted the same sentiment. ;)

Both. She was a big big name of my parent's generation (think Rhianna version 2, Rhianna is version 3 or 4 or 5... if you go back to Maria Callas or Josephine Baker being version 1)

There's a whole bunch of people who think (for good reason) that George Foreman is famous for inventing and marketing a counter-top grill.
I guess Rihanna better do something worth her namesake soon, then!

And no "shade" or anything... am I using that right?... but those latter two names are more foreign than B.S.

Cool. I feel vindicated and very old at the same time.
