After about 10 years I finally complete my 1st crossword w/a rebus, w no cheating, no looking at answers, no reading Deb's column. . I already had filled one in, but seeing 39a really made it clear on how to proceed.

Watching a Documentary on how bad Sofia Coppola was in GF3 when #16 came up. Is it common knowledge that she was actually in all 3 Godfather movies? I had never heard that. She was the baby at the christening in 1.

Wow, I was shocked when I put the last letter in and it was correct. I didn't catch the upside down part until I read this section after.

I must have missed the history lesson that HEP meant cool. What "old school" era was that?

The medium Sudoku is unsolvable. I plug it into another site, they said that. I tried it anyways and kept running into situations that can't be solved. I'll try one more time, if successful I'll come back and edit this post.
