Ponzai schemer and investment fraudster Bernie Madoff, at age 82.

He pleaded guilty in 2009 to a scheme that investigators said started in the early 1970s and defrauded as many as 37,000 people in 136 countries over four decades by the time Madoff was busted on Dec. 11, 2008 — after his two sons turned him in. Victims included the famous — director Steven Spielberg, actor Kevin Bacon, former New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon, Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Weisel — and ordinary investors, like Burt Ross, who lost $5 million in the scheme. |

Sorry to go off track but liking the video clip. Just like the scene in Seth Macfarland's send up of Return if the Jedi (The Sarlacc pit in It's A Trap)._________________ If you cannot inspire yourself to read a book about women's basketball, or any book about women's sports, you cannot inspire any young girl or boy to write a book about them. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Richardstrek
Adding: Write Funko. The WNBA should have Pops. |

This thread is depressing, but it occasionally stirs some personal memories. I never saw Tempest Storm, but in the early 60's I did see Ann Corio in NYC and Lili St. Cyr in New Orleans. |

Performed into her 80s?? Hard to believe, but if true, I suspect there would have been more than a bit "left to the imagination".
