I wouldn't classify Mongolia as southern Asia, while Thailand/Siam certainly is.
Yes, the entire country of China separates Mongolia from South and Southeast Asia.

One of the "right church, wrong pew"

43. “I've come to see lots of nice people who hate it and deplore it and protest their own innocence, then help it along and wonder why it grows. People who would never beat up a Jew. People who think anti-Semitism is far away in some dark place with low-class morons. That's the biggest discovery I've made. The good people. The nice people.”

21. “I saw this widow and she's a wreck. She has just lost the person she loved the most in this world and I realized we're all going to lose the people we love. That's the way it is, but not me. Not right now. Because the person I love the most is standing right here and I'm not ready to lose you yet.”

61. “You're gonna have an amazing story to tell your friends. If not, you'll have a tag on your toe. You decide. Hurry up. Let's go. Ma'am, would you be quiet? Sir, get down, please. Thank you.

The Hilton Twins are driving me nuts. I'm fairly sure that one part of the link is Oscar-winning actors. The Hilton twins only appeared in two movies, Freaks and Chained for Life. Wikipedia says they appeared in another silent horror film, The Unholy Three, but I haven't gotten any confirmation on that, and one source says that the unbilled conjoined twins in The Unholy Three were not the Hiltons. The two credit films the pair made had several B-movie actors in the cast with extensive filmographies like Wallace Ford and Allen Jenkins, but no Oscar winners. Victor McLaglen was in The Unholy Three, but I would think Frank could have found a better matchup for him.

If the twins aren't on there for their filmography, the only other thing that would qualify is their name, HIlton. I'm not sure how that ties to Oscar winning actors unless perhaps it refers to the role for which the actor won the Oscar. If Jon or Peter Finch were in the game, that could match with Gregory Peck on that basis. The Timothy Hutton-Donald Sutherland matchup looks good because it would lead to three possible Tangredis. (1) An Oscar-winning actor paired with another actor from the film in which they won the Oscar; (2) an Oscar-winning actor being paired with another actor from their first movie (when they were "born"), or (3) an Oscar-winning actor paired with another actor who played their parent. But other than the Hutton/Sutherland matchup, I can't find anything that works.

Hilton. First thing I thought of was James Hilton who wrote Goodbye Mr. Chips, Random Harvest, Lost Horizon.

But I see nothing that works with that.

Once the remaining incorrect answer is corrected, I think the Tangredi will be discovered almost immediately.

42. She is the only Oscar-winning actress to have a memorial plaque in the Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey.

DAME PEGGY ASHCROFT

16. In addition to her Oscar, she shared a Gold Record with her stepson.

Could this be SHIRLEY JONES?

25. “So you have chosen ... death.”

CHRISTOPHER LEE in one of the LOTR movies??

36. She was the second actress in a seven-year period to win an Oscar playing opposite Laurence Harvey.

ELIZABETH TAYLOR

Could this be SIMONE SIGNORET instead?

The three movies are Room at the Top, Butterfield 8 and Darling. Did I have them out of order and Butterfield 8 is first?

Michael Caine was in Darling with Julie Christie, BTW.

14. He managed to complete his final film role - that of a Chinese mandarin - with the aid of oxygen tanks and a nurse.

Peter Sellers
Okay, while technically Peter Sellers is not the correct answer on a couple of counts, I can see where this would be misleading. So I will tell you that this is not Peter Sellers.

Unfortunately, this is still incorrect. Looks like this was a much harder question than I realized.

This is a distinguished British actor who suffered from chronic asthma.

14. He managed to complete his final film role - that of a Chinese mandarin - with the aid of oxygen tanks and a nurse.
DAVID CARRADINE
Unfortunately, this is still incorrect. Looks like this was a much harder question than I realized.

This is a distinguished British actor who suffered from chronic asthma.
This is ROBERT DONAT, whose last role was the Mandarin of Yang Cheng in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness. Partly because of his asthma, Donat had a very limited filmography for someone who was that respected and whose career stretched over 20 years. He made only 19 films and was another Oscar winner for Best Actor. If this is the actor who is a giveaway to the Tangredi, I don't see it yet. Ironically, according to IMDB, he was Peter Sellers' favorite actor, the person we originally incorrectly gave as the answer to this clue.

It would have been more obvious at the time I made that statement.

I've got it. I don't want to engage in wholesale cheating, so I'm only going to give matches that I know the source material.

14. ROBERT DONAT won his Oscar for Goodbye, Mr. Chips, based on the novel by James Hilton who matches with 56. THE HILTON TWINS (Shame on you Frank for not using Paris Hilton)

51. DONNA REED won her Oscar for From Here to Eternity, based on the novel by James Jones, who matches with 16. SHIRLEY JONES. Since turnaround is fair play,

16. SHIRLEY JONES won her Oscar for Elmer Gantry, based on the novel by Sinclair Lewis, who matches with 40. JERRY LEWIS.

3. JULIE ANDREWS won her Oscar for Mary Poppins, based on the books by PL Travers, who matches with 55. HENRY TRAVERS

76. JOAN CRAWFORD won her Oscar for Mildred Pierce, based on the novel by James M. Cain, who matches with 18. DEAN CAIN

42. PEGGY ASHCROFT won her Oscar for A Passage to India, based on the novel by EM Forster, who matches with 10. ROBERT FORSTER

43. GREGORY PECK won his Oscar for To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the novel by Harper Lee, who matches with 25. CHRISTOPHER LEE

74. VIVIEN LEIGH won an Oscar for Gone with the Wind, based on the novel by Margaret Mitchell, who matches with 16. THOMAS MITCHELL

58. ROD STEIGER won his Oscar for In the Heat of the Night, based on the novel by John Ball, who matches with 22. LUCILLE BALL

73. DANIEL DAY-LEWIS won an Oscar for There Will be Blood, based on a novel by Upton Sinclair, who matches with 34s. MADGE SINCLAIR

8. REX HARRISON won his Oscar for My Fair Lady, based on Pygmalion by GB Shaw, who goes with 49. ROBERT SHAW

Cliff Robertson won his Oscar for Charlie, based on Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Is one of the unmatched clues Evelyn Keyes? And if Charlton Heston is on the list, there should be an actor named Wallace.

WTG, SSS!

61. GEENA DAVIS won her Oscar for The Accidental Tourist, based on the novel by Anne Tyler, who matches with 26. TOM TYLER.

68. TIMOTHY HUTTON won his Oscar for Ordinary People, based on the novel by Judith Guest, who matches with 31. CHRISTOPHER GUEST.

Vivien Leigh also won an Oscar for Streetcar, so she could be matched with 4. John Williams, as well.

As SSS pointed out, 8. is REX HARRISON

Does the Oscar win have to be for Best Actor/Actress? Maggie Smith won for Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, but that's a tough author match (Muriel Spark). California Suite, OTOH, is by Neil Simon, matches with 54.Michel Simon

Geena Davis and Peggy Ashcroft won Supporting Actress Oscars, so the match should be with any acting Oscar. And Vivien Leigh is probably one of the actresses used twice in the puzzle.
