Improve 5 Star Notable Profiles (Round 2)

Question

OK - so we're doing well on the Actors in the Five Star Notables Challenge. It's time to add more profiles to the group. The Free Space page has been updated with a second table. This second round includes two groups that often can be found at odds with one another: Politics and Religion. 22 new profiles scattered across the globe are now available to help seek improvements to their CC7 as well as hopefully connect some to the global tree. As before, please try to at a minimum increase their CC7 to double the current number, and connect as many as possible. If there are questions, please let me know. And feel free to work from either group. I would love to see the Actors 100% completed, but would be just as thrilled to make progress on the new group as well. I'll plan to add more profiles around the beginning of December.

Good Luck All!!

Not sure if I like it or not, but I found a way to highlight cells to make them stand out. I've highlighted the connected profiles in GREEN so that it's easier to see the ones that have been successfully connected. We're nearing 50% connected with the first round of profiles, and we're about 15% connected with the second round, so we're moving right along. Not sure how long to wait for another group of profiles to be released, but I'm guessing mid-December. We'll see how things go. Let me know if you like or dislike the cell highlighting. Thanks!

Answer 1

For me, I'm still working on the family of Chief Halftown from the first list. I've got him up to a CC7 of 8 with no connection in sight. I still want to expand his CC7 a bit more before moving to the next one.

Comments

Chief Halftown has been increased from a CC7 of 0 to 16, so I moved on from him for now.

Answer 2

Charlie Haughey is now connected, or will be whenever the connection finder next updates (40 degrees from me).

Haughey is back in the news this weekend with the death of Ben Dunne, who indirectly brought about Haughey's political downfall. Dunne is from a notoriously publicity-shy family and may be even more challenging to connect - I can see a path, but it goes through his living sister, his living niece and her living ex-husband.

Answer 3

Manly Hall will show as connected tomorrow

Comments

Donald Sangster will show as connected tomorrow

Very nice! - And Manly's CC7 went from 13 to 616, so that was HUGE. Thank you.

By just adding 3 new profiles. Large increase in cc7.

Answer 4

Sherman Hemsley was a bit challenging, but I did manage to double his CC7 from 21 to 42, so while he's not connected, he does have a good deal more family now listed. Hopefully that will help someone connect him in the future.

Answer 5

Actor Jon-Erik Hexum, who died young and very tragically, should be connected tomorrow when the links update.

Answer 6

Bob Keeshan, otherwise known to many of us as the beloved children's show host, Captain Kangaroo, will be connected to the global tree once the links update tonight.

Answer 7

Actor Peter O'Toole should be connected tomorrow once the links update. I had to run through his son and his mother (both semi-famous, but currently living non-Notables), but it should be a solid connection for him.

Answer 8

Actress-dancer Juliet Prowse will be connected after the links update tonight.

Answer 9

Moshe Dayan is now connected. And as a by-product also Ezer Weizman and Chaim Weizman.

Comments

Very nice! Thank you! I've been watching his CC7 grow, so I was hopeful someone was seeking a connection.

Answer 10

Vincent Robert Capodanno, the "Grunt Padre", will be connected tonight after the links update.

Answer 11

Gladys May Aylward, "The Small Woman", should be connected tonight once the links update.

Answer 12

The rather infamous Jack Ruby will be connected when the links update tonight.
