    Totally jealous is the underlying sentiment here.

    For a sum less than $100, you can get a poster of Secretariat signed by Ronnie the jockey AND Mrs. Chenery.

    I'm not an autograph hound.  I am thrilled with the image I posted because that WAS the horse that we all adored.

    That's all I need.  The memory of that wonderful creature lives in my heart always.

  • "John Travolta" -  His mother, Helen Cecilia (née Burke; January 18, 1912 – December 1978),[5] was an actress and singer who had appeared in The Sunshine Sisters, a radio vocal group, and acted and directed before becoming a high school drama and English teacher.

    "Willie & Kate Tanner" - Gordon Shumway  (adopted parents count ... right!?)

    I'm pretty sure Mrs. Travolta died and then possessed John.  The older he got the gayer he became and not in a good way.  Instead of trying to look like a hot man, he looks like an old woman.  Sort of like Edna Trumbill that old lady he played.

    He played himself.  He was in his glory.
