I don't know if this'll count, but:
Geraldine
Garder...okay, I had to look this up, because it was bothering me too much. There is an Australian singer/actress with the first name of Geraldine but I couldn't remember her last name. I knew that she had recorded two Sondheim CDs, which I own. The name that eventually came to me (but didn't seem right) was Geraldine Gardner (GG!), but I had to make sure. I looked her up on IMBb.com (sometimes I start there for no reason) and she is listed
HERE. But it says that Geraldine Gardner was from England and died in 1987! I'm pretty sure that the singer that I'm thinking of recorded the second Sondheim CD after that. I kept thinking about the singer...I have those Sondheim CDs, I could picture her picture and finally her correct name popped into my head...Geraldine
Turner. So, just out of curiosity, I looked her up on IMDb.com and she has a listing
HERE, and yes, Turner is from Australia. But what is interesting (and my point to this otherwise pointless story) is that the two Geraldines have/had/have (almost a
Sweeney Todd reference) the exact same birthday, 23 June, 1950! Isn't that weird?? And isn't this otherwise a totally pointless story except that a mistakenly remembered name turned out to be someone a bit famous, making it eligible for today's Topic??
