Just looking at the review on Amazon and the guy croaked it at 38. Is there a jinx with the song 'Somehwere over the rainbow'?? Eva Cassidy, who did a fine version of the song also died young...

Isn't it a mix of "Somewhere over the rainbow" AND "What a wonderful world"??


It's a nice kind of montage though. Anyone know who the blonde one in it is? Looks like she's a nurse from ER or something?

However, the issue of the blonde who looks like she might be a nurse remains unresolved!!

Any telly addicts know who she is??
