  9. Wow, everybody is doing a terrific job recognizing these blind stars of cult tv.

    Randal, you were the first to note Lily Taylor in The X-Files, "Mind's Eye.

    And Will, you recognized Joan Crawford of "Eyes" first.

    But everybody did fantastic, and guessed right on these.

    Still to go: 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13. There are some toughies there, some real toughies...

    best to all,
    John

  12. Chris: Yes! That's Cassandra from "Hourglass" on Smallville! Well done.

    Meredith: Oh my goodness, I completely forgot about Sandra's temporary blindness at the end of Matter of Life and Death. Wow! Thanks for the reminder!

    best,
    John

  13. Its very common in some films. Blind people kinda gives a film this sensitive touch to those who are watching of course some gives sympathy by just watching and i think it also attracts viewers but not those blinds though.
