117. KEVIN KLINE = Sophie's Choice with 5. MERYL STREEP?? Something tells me this isn't right, though

118. JEAN SEBERG = St. Joan with 18. RICHARD WIDMARK

I know Grace Kelly's first role is Fourteen Hours but I can't remember anyone except Paul Douglas ….

[franktangredi]

I would note that all of these premiere films are quite well known for various reasons, so it's not a matter of someone making a debut as Passerby #1 or something like that.

Good point - I think we can safely say these are first credited roles.

If somebody made his or her debut as Passerby #1, I simply didn't use them.

Makes complete sense - a speaking role, a line, a credit.

Richard Widmark has been used three times.

[mellytu74]

Jessica Lange was also in Tootsie, so I bet that's the match.

There is still one wrong answer on the list.

The reason Richard Widmark is used three times is because one of the uses is wrong.

Richard Widmark has been used three times.

[silverscreenselect]

Don't Bother to Knock was not Monroe's first film, so that's the incorrect use of Widmark. My mistake.

Actually, she is one of the performers whose first appearance was as "Passerby #1" or in her case the Waitress at the Gopher Hole in a movie called Dangerous Years. So, she must be on the list for co-starring with someone else in their first film.

[silverscreenselect]

I think Ned Beatty's first film was Deliverance with Burt Reynolds.

[kroxquo]

Johnny Depp = Nightmare on Elm Street with John Saxon

[silverscreenselect]

Natalie Portman in The Professional (aka Leon the Professional) with Gary Oldman.

I love that movie and I love Oldman's nutso bad guy.

[silverscreenselect]

Sean Astin made his debut in The Goonies with Anne Ramsey

[jarnon]

There is still one wrong answer on the list.

This has to be Isabelle Huppert, the only answer that's not verified. Wikipedia says Isabelle became a Chevalier in 1999, not 1993. She's also nowhere near the age of 100.

There is still one wrong answer on the list.

This has to be Isabelle Huppert, the only answer that's not verified. Wikipedia says Isabelle became a Chevalier in 1999, not 1993. She's also nowhere near the age of 100.

Just so there's no confusion. I didn't want to suggest that the actress in question is near age 100 right now. I was suggesting that, at this rate, she will be by the time she receives two more promotions.


50. She was named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1993, an Officier of the Legion of Honor in 2004 and a Commandeur of the Legion of Honor in 2013 – which means that, at this rate, she still has a shot at Grand-officier and even (if she lives past the age of 100) Grand-croix.

Isabelle's about my age. I'd cringe to think she's two promotions (just 15 years) away from 100.

I tried to give a hint earlier on that the actress who is the correct answer to this question was suggested as an incorrect answer to another question.

Mr K suugested Leslie Caron for the Ava Gardner question. She works in the puzzle with Gene Kelly.

50. LESLIE CARON = An American in Paris with GENE KELLY

37. ALEC GUINNESS = Great Expectations with 120. VALERIE HOBSON

I had to double check this one (seeing Laura Linney in Tales of the City reminded me of this movie)….

103. EDWARD NORTON = Primal Fear with 39. RICHARD GERE

Almost there!

35. LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, 110. WILL SMITH and 115. ROBERT DE NIRO are still unused.

Checking IMDB, Smith’s debut movie is with another actor in this game. Also, DiCaprio and De Nero are both in This Boy’s Life (1993). The problem is, DiCaprio is in two earlier movies (1991 & 1992). So there are two possibilities: This Boy’s Life is meant to be the final match, or either DiCaprio or De Nero is a co-star in a debut movie that we already identified.

It looks like I made a mistake with DiCaprio's first movie. I don't know how I overlooked it. My apologies.

You’re not alone. The Wikipedia article Leonardo DiCaprio filmography says This Boy’s Life is his cinematic debut, and later down it mentions Critters 3.

35. LEONARDO DiCAPRIO = This Boy’s Life with 115. ROBERT DE NIRO

One match left! (Will Smith’s first film)

[kroxquo]

One match left! (Will Smith’s first film)

I will admit I looked this up. Will Smith = Where the Day Takes You with Sean Astin

Thanks for a fun game, Frank!
