Sara Jane Moore

it is weird how assassians typically get known by their full name (She wasn't successful, thankfully)

this was an interesting footnote
Moore and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme are the only two women who have attempted to assassinate an American president; both of their assassination attempts were on Gerald Ford, and they took place in California within three weeks of one another.

Since the crimes are usually especially notorious, I'm pretty sure that's done to distinguish them from anyone with the same or a similar name. No doubt there were probably more than 100 women named Sarah Moore when SJM took her shot (and maybe a few with the same full name).

To be fair, the quality has really dropped off.

I saw someone attribute it to a seizure, but didn't really dig too deeply

Chris Dreja - Rhythm Guitar Player for The Yardbirds, switched to bass briefly in the 60s.

Clearly Led Zeppelin was the cause of at least two missed opportunities

Yardbirds bassist and rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja has died at 79. Jimmy Page offered him the role of bassist in what was to become Led Zeppelin, but he declined in order to pursue photography.
