Sir Patrick Stewart - Jeanne Hedge - 12-31-2009 He has played kings, princes, captains and professors on stage and screen, but now actor Patrick Stewart will have a new title all his own: "Sir." So begins the story I just saw on CNN.com - Patrick Stewart is receiving a knighthood (an OBE to be precise). He is on the New Year's hono(u)rs list, released by Britain's Cabinet Office on Thursday. Here's a link to the story on CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/ ... index.html Here's a link to a story about "Arts" honors on BBC.com: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainmen ... 434903.stm (if you go here, you will find links to PDF files for the entire list) Jeanne Hedge www.jhedge.com "Believe me, if I have to go the rest of my life without companionship, knowing myself won't be a problem." -- Gabrielle of Potadeia - Bob Schroeck - 12-31-2009 Coolness. And Peter Jackson has just become http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/artic ... d=10617918]a Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit. Not quite on the same level, but he still gets to be called "Sir Peter Jackson". -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Jeanne Hedge - 12-31-2009 That's cool too! I didn't know New Zealand had their own knighthood system. Jeanne Hedge www.jhedge.com "Believe me, if I have to go the rest of my life without companionship, knowing myself won't be a problem." -- Gabrielle of Potadeia - Ankhani - 12-31-2009 The article there is a little awkward. Patrick Stewart is to receive a Knighthood, Ross Brawn (A Formula 1 racer) is the one getting the OBE. It only mentions Stewart in the headline, but the article there is listing several (all?) of the people reciving Honors from the Queen. 1 Knight, 2 OBE, and 5 MBE --- The Master said: "It is all in vain! I have never yet seen a man who can perceive his own faults and bring the charge home against himself." >Analects: Book V, Chaper XXVI - Bluemage - 12-31-2009 'Bout time he got a knighthood. So many other prominent actors and actresses have been knighted already. I was wondering when his turn would come up. My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Atom Bomb of Courteous Debate. Get yours.
