LIST A: ACTRESSES

A-1. “This is 1852, dumplin'. 1852, not the Dark Ages. Girls don't have to simper around in white just because they're not married.”

A-2. This American actress received her only Oscar nomination for playing a character created by Henry James.

A-3. “Breasts, Mama. They're called breasts, and every woman has them.”

A-8. As far as I know, this distinguished British actress is the only person to have worked with both Charlie Chaplin and Woody Allen.

A-10. This actress has played daughter to two of the stars of the movie Taps.

A-11. “Couldn't you like me, just me the way I am? When we first started out, it was so good; we had fun. And then you started in on the clothes. Well, I'll wear the darn clothes if you want me to, if you'll just, just like me.”

A-12. She made her first big splash as the title character of a 1942 comedy, although the real star of the movie was the actress who played HER sister.

A-13. “You shoot off a guy's head with his pants down, believe me, Texas ain't the place you want to get caught.”

A-14. Her most notable leading man in the movies was a big ape; her most notable leading man in real life was a lot weirder.

A-15. “Keep drinking. Between the 101-proof breath and the occasional bits of drool, some interesting words come out.”

A-16. This Swiss actress seemed on the brink of American stardom – until she clashed with director Billy Wilder during the filming of one of his last movies.

A-17. “I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin's egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don't let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green.”

A-18. Her first film appearance with her famous father was also his last film appearance with his equally famous partner.

A-19. “Oh, he gave me special instructions back of the pulpit Christmas Eve. He got to howlin' ’Repent! Repent!’ and I got to moanin' ‘Save me! Save me!’ and the first thing I know he rammed the fear of God into me so fast I never heard my old man's footsteps!”

A-25. “Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young.”

A-26. In a tv movie about an English actor, this Swedish actress was played by a South African actress.

A-27. “Resolution Number One: will obviously lose 20 lbs. Number Two: always put last night's panties in the laundry basket. Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional f**kwits, or perverts. Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things.”

A-28. Possessor of one of the most memorable voices in the movies, she is probably best remembered for her roles in three classic Ealing comedies.

A-29. “There's more to life than a little money, ya know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are. And it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it.”

A-30. Older sister of one of the iconic actresses of world cinema, she died tragically in a car accident at the age of 25.

A-32. This actress received her only Oscar nomination in 1936 for a comic role opposite her own ex-husband.

A-33. “After awhile, it got to be all normal. None of it seemed like crime. It was more like Henry was enterprising, and that he and the guys were making a few bucks hustling, while all the other guys were sitting on their asses, waiting for handouts. Our husbands weren't brain surgeons, they were blue-collar guys. The only way they could make extra money, real extra money, was to go out and cut a few corners.”

A-34. Though usually associated with light comedies and musicals, she also had roles in two classic dramas, as the less-than-loyal wives of a gangster and a pilot.

A-35. “Where I come from nobody knows and where I am going everything goes. The wind blows, the sea flows, nobody knows. And where I am going, nobody knows.”

A-39. “I can handle a sick old woman!”

A-40. At age 18, she made one of the most highly anticipated film debuts of all time, playing a character who was substantially younger than herself.

A-41. “Close your mouth please, Michael, we are not a codfish.”

A-42. This actress is probably best known, not for winning her own Oscar, but for recreating a role that snagged an Oscar nomination for Lana Turner.

A-43. “The others were gracious and curious about the man who had saved my life. But my mother looked at him like an insect. A dangerous insect, which must be squashed quickly.”

A-44. She was one of the biggest Hollywood stars of her generation – a situation that began to change after she portrayed one of the biggest Hollywood stars of an earlier generation.

A-45. “Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?”

A-46. She shot to stage stardom with her performance in “Love on the Dole” – especially when the greatest British playwright of the day saw a performance and took her under his wing.

A-48. Nearly 20 years after their divorce, this sultry singer’s ex-husband cast her in a new television series he was producing; it proved to be her most popular role. (The ex-husband also cast her then-husband in the same series. Very cozy.)

A-49. “I came here and I realized that these women are smart, terrific people who are trying to make a difference in the world. And we've become really good friends. I mean, I know we all secretly hope the other one will trip and fall flat on her face... but oh wait a minute, I've already done that! And for me this experience has been one of the most rewarding and liberating experiences of my life…. And if anyone, anyone tries to hurt one of my new friends, I would take them out. I would make them suffer so much that they'd wish they were never born. And if they ran, I would hunt them down. Thank you, Kathy.”

A-50. This glamorous star was married to her only husband for nearly 50 years – or for just over 40 years – or for a total of 46 years – depending on whether or not you count the annulment.

LIST A: MOVIES
B-1. “A fellow will remember a lot of things you wouldn't think he'd remember. You take me. One day, back in 1896, I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry, and as we pulled out, there was another ferry pulling in, and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn't see me at all, but I'll bet a month hasn't gone by since that I haven't thought of that girl”
