Florence Henderson and Barbra Billingsley. When my husband told me that Henderson died yesterday, my response was that she must've been like 100 years old.

Thinking the IT crowd girl Katherine Parkinson had graduated to cohosting baking shows with Sue Perkins though somehow doubiting it a bit when I saw she still had red hair in Humans. But they do look very similar don't they?

Ah, okay, looked it up, I see.
Also means or meant "bush," as in Coleridge's "The ivy tod is heavy with snow."

Roman Polanski and Francis Ford Coppola. Kind of bad for Coppola because I keep getting it in my head that he's a scumbag rapist which, as far as I know, he's not.
