A. Heathcliff
B. Wuthering Heights
C. The Thorn Birds
D. Cleopatra

F. Casanova and Don Juan were both known for this, although Casanova was a real person, and Don Juan was, perhaps, imaginary. Because he was a known person, I choose Casanova.
G. Capulet
H. Love Story ( sniff, sniff )
I. DesiLu Productions
J. Ken and Barbie
Good morning, Sharon!

This little exercise down the lane of ‘Romance’ was quite a treat! I remember so many of these movies/people, and their stories, while growing up in the 50’s-70’s; however, the saddest real-life story was, of course, the unfulfilled, and extremely anguished lives of Elizabeth and Richard. The heart wrenching movie, Love Story, is next in the line of deliciously sad movies, made for the screen, produced when I was yet a youngster. I still watch ‘ I love Lucy’ on YOutube, and, while I had several Barbies, originating when I was in grade school, I never owned a ‘Ken Doll’, in the flesh, or otherwise.

Thanks for the great diversion on this rainy, jungle morning, in Belize C A .

I can’t wait to read A Season of Courtship. .. I’m addicted to everything P&P related and I am quickly becoming a fan of your writing. So glad I found the Austen Authors website and, through the site, your blog. I’m thoroughly enjoying everything I’ve read so far.

Oooooop, I forgot to leave my answers:

A. Heathcliff
B. Wuthering Heights
C. The Thornbirds (I remember falling in love Bryon Brown)
D. Cleopatra (she cheated on Eddie Fisher)
E. 1936
F.

Clorinda

Continued: I don’t know how that happened. … I’m going to take this tablet and chuck it out of the window (for the record, I hate touch screens).

F. I always remember my mom saying Rudolph Valentino was considered the greatest lover of all time, but I am going to have to go with Casanova (although in my personal opinion, the character Valmont gets my vote 🙂 )
G. Capulet
H. Love Story
I. Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz
J. Barbie & Ken
