notorious is not an apt word choice for Hitchcock, no, unless they
were trying to be cute.... I suppose they could have mentioned that
he had vertigo, too, or that he was a frenzied psycho.... Oh well.

still, you gotta love celebrities like the casts of MatchGame and
Hollywood Squares, who are famous simply, solely, fundamentally, and
essentially for being famous....
