Which raises another question:
Let\'s say you become moderately famous, have a long and productive career, but then you have the misfortune of dying right around the time of other people much more famous than you. What can you do about it? I would have an assistant reading me obituaries on my deathbed to make sure I time my departure appropriately.

BTW, my example of this is Buddy Hackett. I\'ve always loved that guy, but he had the bad luck to kick off right after Katherine Hepburn. The day the Hollywood Reporter ran his obit, they put him on p.18 or something, and there was ANOTHER story about Hepburn on page one, even though she had already been dead several days. What a drag.
