In the mid '90s it seemed like every TV movie title was colon-ized. Today? Not so much. From the beginning of 1992 through the end of 1995 more than 40 TV movies followed the basic form, ''_____: The [insert person's name] Story.'' In the past four years? One. A 2002 CBS two-part movie, ''Master Spy: The Robert Hanssen Story.''
I actually miss colon-ized TV movie titles. They probe the American pop psyche, creating an odd confluence of sensational news items and celeb biodramas.
Fill in the blank for titles of celeb biodramas of the '90s (left column) with the celeb's name (right column):
| Movie Title | Celeb | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | On Thin Ice: The ____ Story | a. | Annette Funicello |
| 2. | Reason for Living: The ____ Story | b. | Jill Ireland |
| 3. | Love and Betrayal: The ____ Story | c. | Bruce Lee |
| 4. | A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: The ____ Story | d. | Dennis Rodman |
| 5. | Never Say Never: The ____ Story | e. | Mia Farrow |
| 6. | A Brother's Promise: The ____ Story | f. | Tai Babilonia |
| 7. | Dragon: The ____ Story | g. | Dan Jansen |
| 8. | Never Give Up: The ____ Story | h. | Alan Freed |
