Scrappy coming in for the clinchers!
Yes, Beaumarchais, who wrote both
Le Barbier de Séville
and
Le Mariage de Figaro.
I'm surprised no one's gotten the last one, I thought that he was one of the better known on the list, although maybe not for his plays.
Since I’m about to leave for after-work drinks, the missing answer is Cocteau, playwright
and
(Vortex) painter, who is probably best known for his film
Beauty and the Beast.
I would have gotten 3 maybe 4 on that list. that's it.
cocteau - not in a million years. I did like his film, but it wasn't my vision of B&B.

Man, that was driving me nuts! I knew it was him and could not think of his name for the life of me. I've got the dementias!
Beauty and the Beast
is one of my favorite films of all time and I always think of it as "Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast." Stupid brain!
Lil and Danny blew me away tonight. So good! And honestly, I thought Danny's dancing was charming -- maybe because it didn't look choreographed to me, either, but more like he was just bopping around, moving to the music.
My favorites are Lil, Danny, Adam, Allison and Alexis. It's hard to figure out who is going to be in the bottom and I wonder what kind of "change" is going to happen. Guess I better watch the whole thing instead of just tuning into the end of the results show like I normally do.
I'm watching TiVo delayed through the first four. I like Lil and Danny, so far. Danny my man! Milwaukee, represent!
I was so mad at the Biggest Loser results tonight I don't even know.

ooh I didn't know you watched too! Man it was So. Much. Drama tonight and, yeah, I was super pissed at the results.
oh, it is like my addiction. I usually like Gillian, but this season I am all about Bob.
Don't you think the 2 sisters could have convinced black team girl to vote off Kristin (sp?) ? pulling a big switcheroo - instead of just accepting the scenario that Ron dictated? Ron kinda works my last nerve.
