Game #214: Talking Pictures

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-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.”

A-7. She considered herself the only true actress among her sisters, and was the only one never married to the same actor.

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.”

A-9. His real-life roles have included an ancient king, a Wild West gunslinger, and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

A-10. “I shall force someone to take the body away from him and Johnny will really hit those microphones and those cameras with blood all over him, fighting off anyone who tries to help him, defending America even if it means his own death, rallying a nation of television viewers to hysteria, to sweep us up into the White House with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy!”

A-13. His film career included adaptations of works by Herman Melville, Graham Greene, Agatha Christie, and Polish Nobel laureate Henryk Sienkiewicz.

A-15. In a 2001 biopic, he played an author who wrote an award-winning play while serving a sentence for armed robbery at Sing Sing.

A-16. “You shut up! You are the audience! I am the author! I outrank you!”

A-17. He and Morgan Freeman both got Golden Globe nominations for playing the same real-life figure.

A-18. “What do you mean, ‘Who's flying the plane?’ Nobody's flying the plane!”

A-22. “It's for Paris. I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything and when I feel like I'm about to faint I eat a cube of cheese. I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.”

A-23. In 1967, this British actor released a record in which he recited the lyrics of Bob Dylan – which earned him inclusion on the first two Golden Throats albums.

A-24. “It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people.”

A-25. In one of his most memorable film roles, he played an ‘actor’ who combined the arts of magic and pornography.

A-26. “One other thing. If you guys ever have kids, and one of them, when he's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug ... go easy on him.”

A-27. He got more press after the 2022 Oscar show than anyone who didn’t actually win an award.

A-28. “Have I mentioned that I am the preeminent Proust scholar in the US?”

A-29. He was appearing in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s legendary production of Nicholas Nickleby when he got the movie offer that would change the trajectory of his entire career, eventually leading to an Oscar and a knighthood.

A-30. “You're probably thinking, ‘Whose balls did I have to fondle to get my very own movie?’ I can't tell you his name, but it rhymes with Polverine. And let me tell you, he's got a nice pair of smooth criminals down under.”

A-31. His film career included adaptations – mostly very loose adaptation – of works by Lewis Carroll, Washington Irving, Roald Dahl, and Agatha Christie.

A-32. “The pig and the farmer regarded each other. And for a fleeting moment, something passed between them. A faint sense of some common destiny.”

A-33. He donated the $125,000 he won on WWTBAM to the firefighters’ aid foundation that he founded.

A-34. “This rock ... this rock has been waiting for me my entire life. In its entire life, ever since it was a bit of meteorite a million, billion years ago up there In space. It's been waiting, to come here. Right, right here. I've been moving towards it my entire life. The minute I was born, every breath I've taken, every action has been leading me to this crack on the earth's surface.”

A-35. In August 1991, a photograph of this actress taken by Annie Leibovitz got a lot more negative attention than it deserved.

A-36. “You really blew the lid off of nookie.”

A-37. Most audiences were surprised when he was the first major actor killed in a classic 1998 film … but war is like that.

A-38. “Yeah, Vern, Vern, what a guy, me and him go way back. I guess you could say we’re cut from the same bark, if it weren't for me he wouldn't be where he is today, I taught him everything he knows about nuclear physics. He's my best buddy and he throws the greatest parties.”

A-39. He credits his English teacher with helping him to overcome a severe stutter by encouraging to write poetry and read it aloud to the class.

A-40. “I just want you to know, if you ever need anything, don't be shy, OK? There are no rules in the house. I'm not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom.”

A-41. I can’t swear he’s the only Oscar-winning actor ever to host a game show, but I can’t think of another one offhand.

A-42. “Look at this! My first day as a woman and I'm getting hot flashes!”

A-43. He is generally considered the greatest swordsman in Hollywood history, but he only won two of his on-screen sword fights.

A-44. “There's an old joke - um - two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, ‘Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.” The other one says, ‘Yeah, I know; and such small portions.’ Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”

A-45. He completes a list that also includes Cate Blanchett, Bing Crosby, Paul Newman, Al Pacino, and Sylvester Stallone.

A-46. “Being a botanist, I find an astonishing parallel between a woman's heart and the wind flower or Anemone nemorosa. Perhaps you know the plant, how it waits for the warm sunshine and soft winds before it unfolds its petals. Sensitive and delicate. One rough, impetuous bee can completely destroy the bloom.”

All of the answers with multiple choices include the right answer. The one answer with a question mark is wrong.

All the movies with a question mark are correct. All of the answers with multiple choices include the right answer.

The actors for whom an alternate answer was given are A-6. CHRIS SARANDON (SSS and kroxquo suggested JOHN CAZALE) and A-44. BILLY CRYSTAL (mellytu74 thought it could be Woody Allen). Anyone know which of these is wrong, and which other answer is “right church, wrong pew”? Once we’ve identified these, we know all the other actors (except A-37. WOODY HARRELSON with a question mark) and all the movies (including B-13, B-15, B-25, B-28 and B-41 with question marks) are correct.

[mrkelley23]

Voice actors. An actor in list A appeared with an actor from a movie in List B as voice actors


A-38 is JIM VARNEY.

Just so you don't get into the weeds, I'm not using the Jones/Ford match. Voice roles in live action movies opens the field too much.
