Right, I've removed all the msn links and replaced them with "official" sites, those that have them.
Checked all the IMDB links go to the main pge about the stars.
No probs McKay.
Anything else?

Great entry. My one slight quibble is that you don't say much about the music. I agree that the anorexia is really well covered, and covered very sensitively, but the music should be given a little more weight.
To illustrate her singing abilities how about this from John Tobler talking about 'Goodbye to Love'
"....this song is also an awesome example of Karen's lung power, as she almost unbelievably sings two complete and very wordy lines unwaveringly with a single breath: "Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by. And all I know of love is how to live without it." "
Also a mention of the staying power of a song both Karen and Richard loathed, Please Mr. Postman. It bacame the theme for Ant and Dec's postbag section on smtv:live.
You certainly did her justice

Thanks, I've added the quote from John Tobler, and also one I found from Herb Alpert.
Not sure if the Ant & Dec link is relevant though. "Please Mr Postman" was a Tamla Motown cover, if memory serves....

True, but my kids aged from 2 - 9 love doing the dance
. A sure sign of a classic when it transcends generations!
