I was talking to my local pharmacist, and she told me that her hospital has pneumatic tubes for sending prescriptions around the building. If I would have known that automatic teller machines didn’t kill off this technology, I might have chosen a completely different career path.
Shirley Temple would make for a great entry in an alive or dead. She was a huge star in the 1930’s as a kid (won an Academy Award at age 6) and then basically retired from show business in 1949. She turned her attention to politics and eventually served as ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia. Occasionally she will make an appearance, but otherwise she’s stayed out of the public eye. And yes, she’s still alive…
