But just tonight, cause you couldn't ... up to now, it's been grand, Pooky, really, really grand, but if there's one thing I know for sure, you can't let it get you, you should excuse the expression, down. You can't think about it, you just gotta put it out of your mind! The more you think about it, the more you worry. The more you worry, the more you think … think, worry, worry, think....

Just stay there. Just get real comfortable. Hey, uh, throw in some bottles of Wild Turkey, too, will you?”

I've gone back and revised my answers to the actors and removed some that on reflection I am pretty sure were wrong

AN Idea

Stars and Oscar wins. There are some names I threw out. Now, it CANNOT be as simple as matching stars and Oscar wins. Still, this is the first thing I thought of.

But how do you account for Erik Estrada or Phil Harris or Broncho Billy Anderson. Still working on ideas.



20. She was the earliest Oscar-winning actor to fall victim to the infamous Red Channels blacklist.

GALE SONDERGAARD?

Could this be ANNE REVERE instead? Because Revere won her Oscar playing the mother of Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet

Dorothy McGuire would be used twice for Oscar winners - Celeste Holm (Gentlemen's Agreement) and James Dunn (A Tree Groves in Brooklyn)

[silverscreenselect]

Could this be ANNE REVERE instead? Because Revere won her Oscar playing the mother of Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet

Dorothy McGuire would be used twice for Oscar winners - Celeste Holm (Gentlemen's Agreement) and James Dunn (A Tree Groves in Brooklyn)

It would seem that Oscar winning actors are one half of the match, and there are some pairings with someone playing their parent (Timothy Hutton-Donald Sutherland). But I can't find a way to make Erik Estrada work. Estrada has two significant movie roles, Airport 1975 and Midway, with lots of Oscar-winning co-stars, but he doesn't play the son of any of them.

They wouldn't all be parents - McGuire's not. It cannot be as simple as an Oscar winner and co-star. There's gotta be a something to make the outliers make sense.

3. “Oh, no, sir. I'm sorry, sir. I could never answer to a whistle. Whistles are for dogs and cats and other animals, but not for children and definitely not for me.”

MAUREEN O’HARA

[silverscreenselect]

4. In a Hitchcock film, he recreated a role that had previously won him a Tony award.

JOHN WILLIAMS

[silverscreenselect]

56. They appeared in three films together - including a 1932 horror classic - and zero films separately.

I knew the movie and I knew the actresses involved, but I had to look up their names. They are DAISY and VIOLET HILTON, the conjoined twins who appeared in Tod Browning's Freaks. I could only find a record of one other movie, Chained for Life in 1952, in which one of them goes on trial for murder, and the issue is whether the state can punish the innocent sister as well.

[franktangredi]

Jeez! It never occurred to me that there might be TWO actors who became police officers in Idaho!

I think 8. is OMAR SHARIF (St. Peter, The Fall of the Roman Empire, Genghis Khan).

[silverscreenselect]

I think 8. is OMAR SHARIF (St. Peter, The Fall of the Roman Empire, Genghis Khan).

Genghis Khan wasn't a southeast Asian monarch (and not really a monarch). This is REX HARRISON, who played the King of Siam in Anna and the King. Needless to say, he's another Oscar winner, which means that the link almost certainly has to do with that fact.

I can understand him not being characterized as a monarch, and Harrison certainly makes more sense, but are you saying that Genghis Khan wasn't southeast Asian?

There are four incorrect answers on this consolidation. One has subsequently been corrected. Two are a case of 'right church, wrong pew.'

Of the two with question marks, one is right and one is wrong.

All of the ones with two possible answers include the correct answer.

I wouldn't classify Mongolia as southern Asia, while Thailand/Siam certainly is.
