Updated consolidation …
Identify the 50 actors in List A and the 50 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 75 pairs consisting of one actor and one movie according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Eighteen actors will be use twice, two actors will be used three times, and one actor will be used four times. 25 movies will be used twice.
Alternate matches are probably inevitable, but I tried!
LIST A: ACTORS
A-1. He was the only Sexiest Man Alive to win an Oscar for Best Director.
MEL GIBSON

A-6. “I couldn't explain the things I did. So I went to this psychiatrist who told me that I was a woman trapped in a man's body. Well, so right away Sonny wanted to get me money for a sex change operation, but where was he going to get that? $2,500? My God, he was in hock up to his ears already.”
CHRIS SARANDON
*A-7. EVA GABOR
A-8. “A Stanford MBA named Roy Raymond wants to buy his wife some lingerie but he's too embarrassed to shop for it at a department store. He comes up with an idea for a high-end place that doesn't make you feel like a pervert. He gets a $40,000 bank loan, borrows another $40,000 from his in-laws, opens a store, and calls it Victoria's Secret. Makes a half million dollars his first year. He starts a catalog, opens three more stores and after five years he sells the company to Leslie Wexner and the Limited for four million dollars. Happy ending, right? Except two years later, the company's worth 500 million dollars and Roy Raymond jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge. Poor guy just wanted to buy his wife a pair of thigh-highs.”
