In 2024, we will be celebrating the centennial birthdates of several of America's most remarkable television personalities. Please help us honor the 100th birthdays of the following entertainment legends.
The goal of the challenge is to make each of these profiles a shining star of WikiTree. Some are already pretty close, others not so much.
For ideas on what an ideal profile entails, please see the Completed Profile Checklist.
For those who prefer research over profile building, we also want to increase each of our notables' CC7s, and of course, we want to make sure each is connected to the Big Tree. We'll be updating CC7 numbers on a semi-regular basis in the table below.
Remember, no contribution is too small, so jump in wherever you think you'll have the most fun. Just remember to keep us posted on your accomplishments on the G2G thread.
Note: Those with empty status box came into the project already connected. Those that are listed as "connected" were connected by members within the month of this challenge.
