Well, I apparently amuse easily, cause this typo from the Tarot Decks forum got me ta' thinkin. heheheh I immediately thought, George Burns would have to be God...or maybe the Hierophant? I kinda see him more as a magician though. Any thoughts? 0. Fool: Rose (Betty White) from Golden Girls 1. Magician: George Burns 2. High Priestess: Sofia from Golden Girls 3. Empress: Ruth Gordon, Jessica Tandy (With Hume as Emperor) 4. Emperor: Sean Connery 5. Hierophant: Pope John Paul II 6. Lovers: Hepburn and Tracy 7. Chariot: Bogart (African Queen & Casablanca), Charlton Hestion( Ben Hur) 8. Strength: Dame Judy Dench 9. Hermit: Johnny Carson 10. Wheel of Fortune: A Bingo Cage (great one!) 11. Justice: Dorothy from Golden Girls 12. Hanged Man: Sammy Davis Jr. 13. Death: Grandma Moses, That creepy movie guy, from Thriller Video (little help?) 14. Temperance: Raquel Welch or B.B. King 15. Devil: Blanche from Golden Girls/Jack Nicholson 16. Tower: A hospital. A Nursing Home. 17. Star: Mother Theresa, Katherine Hepburn 18. Moon: Sophia 19. Sun: George Hamilton (he sure is tan) 20: Judgement: Mother Theresa 21. World: Aretha Franklin Knight of Wands: Harrison Ford

The Emperor as Sean Connery maybe? And how about Harrison Ford as the King of Wands... }) *Mmmmm... Harrison Ford.* Two men that got better with age, in my opinion. :D I also think that Judi Dench should be in there somewhere... Maybe Strength? I've always seen her as a remarkably strong, defiant woman full of integrity. Kiama

Every time I saw that thread listing, I had to laugh, too. Love this idea! How about Humphrey Bogart for Chariot. (Thinking of his control and will in African Queen and Casablanca.)

I instantly thought of Bob Hope as the Fool, but then I''ve not seen "The Golden Girls".... Emperor and Empress--Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Hierophant--Pope John Paul II, of course! :D Chariot--Charlton Heston, a la Ben Hur, or a Winnebago. Hermit--Johnny Carson. Wheel of Fortune--a bingo cage, LOL. Hanged Man--Sammy Davis, Jr. Death--Grandma Moses Temperance--B.B. King Tower--A hospital. :( Star--Katherine Hepburn Sun--George Hamilton Moon--Sophia Loren Judgement--Mother Teresa World--Aretha Franklin :)

How about Ruth Gordon as the Empress? Or maybe as the Devil, if you think about her character in Rosemary's Baby ;) Luna :)
