I'd really thought that Linda Thompson had fallen on her feet - with a vengeance - when she received an Oscar nomination for writing one of the Whitney Houston songs in the 1992 move "The Bodyguard". I just checked the details and I was wrong; it's another - US - Linda Thompson. Ents unions' rulings about name confusions obviously don't apply cross-Atlantic.

(On a similar theme, anyone who knows London fiddler, crooner and Clark Gable lookalike Bobby Valentino might be amused by the existence of a US R&B star of the same name....)
