Famous birthdays week #12

Last week:
March 14, 1947 – Billy Crystal
March 15, 1933 – Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Last year we looked at major world events that occurred each week. For 2024 let's look at birthdays of famous people for each week of the year.

For this week, we have:

March 18, 1970

Your task is to guess who each person is. To avoid spoiling it for people who come after you, do NOT put the person's name in the comments! Instead, write something about that person. For example, if your guess for person #1 is “Joe Biden”, write something like “#1 - current US president” in the comments. Don't use the name.

Good luck!

#AtoZChallenge Theme Reveal

For the last few years on the A to Z Challenge, I've posted photos of significant events from the previous year and your job was to guess the letter-appropriate word represented by the photos. This year, it’s significant events from 2023 and also the first three months of 2024. Your job, as before, is to figure out what the event is. And, to avoid spoiling the answer for the next blog visitor, please comment on something related to the answer without giving the answer. For example, if the event is "mask mandates" [from the 2021 Challenge], your comment could say something like "I'm still wearing mine" or "I bought several dozen in different colors" without mentioning the mask at all.

To get you started, here’s the teaser for letter A. Remember, it’s an event from 2023 or the first 3 months of 2024.


Comment on something related to the answer without giving the exact answer. Let’s play!
