Possible Title: Times to Play Hangman

Theme: I see two, in a way: the grid has four hangman posts and there are several references to dates in the clues.

Good Ones:
More work   UTOPIA [More wrote it]
Border guard?   COLLIE [Border Collies guard flocks]

Who knew?:“LOVEEYES” was a Nancy Sinatra “hit” ... and crossed with SATAY?

Ilene Graff is an actress.

Some Nits to Pick:
Mel Blanc, e.g.   VOICER [Voicers are related to music; using it to describe Mel Blanc as a voiceover artist seems a misuse of the term.  An argument may be made that he uses his voice; hence, he’s a “voicer,” but in that case all animals that have voices would fit.]

RATING:   ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
