Believe it or not, this morning... around 4 am (couldn't sleep... that's it, no more ginko biloba for me!!) I decided to watch a New Release on Netflix, the film, Genius-- re author Tom Wolfe... hmmm, his name Wolfe is like Foote in my previous post-- remove the "e" and you get a word. As per usual I had to investigate, this is the info on cast/crew and real life characters on the films wiki page:
There were way too many on the IMDb page, so I investigated only 3:
Note from his wiki page:
- Michael Grandage (born 2 May 1962) Director
- John David Logan (born September 24, 1961) screen writer
- Andrew Scott Berg (born December 4, 1949) author
- Colin Firth as Maxwell Perkins (born 10 September 1960)
- Max Perkins (20 September 1884 – 17 June 1947)
- Jude Law as Thomas Wolfe (born 29 December 1972)
- Tom Wolfe (October 3, 1900 – September 15, 1938)
- Nicole Kidman as Aline Bernstein (born 20 June 1967)

- Laura Linney as Louise Saunders (born February 5, 1964)
- Vanessa Kirby as Zelda Fitzgerald (born 18 April 1988)
So those were the main actors... and the cluster is more than obvious. And do note the "2 May/Toumai"-- inner twin signature at the very top. And below is another May 2... W.J. Cash.
- Zelda (July 24, 1900 – March 10, 1948)
There were way too many on the IMDb page, so I investigated only 3:
- Miquel Brown was born on February 8, 1945
- Laura Leggett Linney was born on February 5, 196
- Corey Johnson was born on May 17, 1961
Info on other persons mentioned on the films... or Tom Wolfe's wiki page with 4 having "September" birth or death:
So we now have a "September 10(x2), 15(x2), 20, 25/Increments of 5 Date Sequence" pattern-cluster. The name that strikes me as most meaningful is Robert Penn Warren... think about it!!

Note from his wiki page:
Despite his disagreements with Perkins and Scribner's, on his deathbed and shortly before lapsing into a coma Wolfe wrote a deeply moving letter to Perkins, whom he considered to be his closest friend.[24] He acknowledged that Perkins had helped to realize his work and had made his labors possible. In closing he wrote:And of course, the 4th of July speaks volumes, note from the intro box at the top of this blog:
On July 4th, 3 Of the first "5" US Presidents had died: Jefferson "5" hours before Adams, and Monroe "5" years later on the "55th" Independence Day.
