Woke up this morning with the name Allison Anders in my brain, immediately followed by Bill Berkson and realized I was being compelled to come up with a list of creative friends (or onetime friends) whose first and last names begin with the same letter and who are famous in my world. Here’s what I ended up with:

Merilene Murphy, Marilyn Mohr
Nikki Nash
Roy Robinson
Sharon Stone, Steve Shrader, Simon Schuchat, Stacy Szymaszek
