MARY TYLER MOORE - Ordinary People

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.

Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things.”
RENEE ZELLWEGER - Bridget Jones

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.”

JOAN BENNETT - Father of the Bride, talkin to Spencer Tracy
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.)
JULIE LONDON - Gotta be with Troup & Webb
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.

SANDRA BULLOCK - Miss Congeniality

You're right, it can't be Jane Fonda. I was turning a blind eye to all the parts of the clue that didn't fit.megaaddict wrote:A-18. Her first film appearance with her famous father was also his last film appearance with his equally famous partner.
JANE FONDA?
Maybe it's one of Dean Martin's daughters (DEANNA, CLAUDIA or GAIL) who all appeared (uncredited) in the last Martin and Lewis film. According to imdb, this film was their only film appearance will Dean. Only Deanna and Claudia appeared in any other films.
Dean Martin's daughters are on the obscure side. Now I want the answer to be MARY CROSBY. Do you suppose she was an extra in The Road to Hong Kong?

Candice Bergen's premiere was in The Group, which did not feature Edgar nor anything that might be considered his famous partner.winegreg wrote:Hi:
Could A18 perhaps be Candace Bergen? WAG
and if Judy Garland isn't correct (probably is), could A40 be Patty Duke in Miracle Worker?
Patty Duke was 16 when she made The Miracle Worker and had already done other movies and TV shows.
ANd A18 isn't Mary Crosby either, but I think we're on the right track here as to the type of partner Frank is looking for.

How about ALIDA VALLI?
Unlike A-40, A-18. isn't necessarily asking for a film debut.
It's asking for "Her first film appearance with her famous father" (which was his last film appearance with his equally famous partner.)
Who made multiple pictures with her actor/father, who had a famous partner?

Great game! Sorry I missed the first 113.
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.”
This isn't Kate Winslet talking, it's GLORIA STUART, relating the story to Bill Paxton.
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.
I had an inkling this could be SOPHIA LOREN, which turned out to be right. I hope it's not frowned on to look up such things.
I had a theory that each actress's last name might be found in the letters making up a film title (e.g., Myrna Loy=GLORY, Virginia Mayo=BABY BOOM, Carrie Fisher=THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST). I don't think first names would be involved, since we have two Kims and two Julies. But since I doubt we're going to come up with a Z-E-L-L-W-E-G-E-R movie or an actress whose name can be found in IAMSAM, this theory doesn't really hold water. I just thought I'd throw it out there.

Welcome aboard!!! Frank's games are always fun games!
As far as Gloria Stuart -- oh, of course it is. That's our second wrong answer.
I think we always thought it's not cheating if you are confirming a strong hunch. Especially if the puzzle's been out there a few days and you have REALLY thought about it.
Wholesale IMDBing in the first several rounds, however, is not only frowned upon but it is considered rude, if not downright cheating.
And Arlen Specter will come and investigate you to see if your unfair advantage is breaking any laws.

Sue Lyon was 16, and Candice and Edgar never made a movie together. You're right that the film was not necessarily the actress's debut and implies she made more than one movie with her father.mellytu74 wrote:SUE LYON????
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.
How old was Sue Lyon when she filmed Lolita? Certainly not as young as Lolita was supposed to be.
I don't think Sue Lyon is the type actress we're looking for anyway since no one was really anticipating her debut. It might be someone who was already well known as a singer or a model perhaps.

A-2. This American actress received her only Oscar nomination for playing a character created by Henry James.
BARBARA HERSHEY?
Confirmed through Barbara Hershey's Wikipedia page
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.
CLAIRE BLOOM?
I don't know why KT put a question mark on her name. If she was in both Limelight and Mighty Aphrodite, that would seem to clinch it.
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.
JANET BLAIR?
The question mark should come off this one, too. There was no question mark on her name when Frank made his last post, so I think that constitutes an OK.
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.
TERRY MOORE? FAY WRAY?
Terry Moore fits the clue perfectly, with Mighty Joe Young and Howard Hughes. I think we can throw out Fay Wray.
A-18. Her first film appearance with her famous father was also his last film appearance with his equally famous partner.
CLAUDIA MARTIN? DEANNA MARTIN? HAYLEY MILLS? MARY CROSBY?
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.
SUE LYON? PATTY DUKE?
Those aren't it. Could the answer possibly be a TV star, rather than a model or singer?
B-14. This Oscar-winning film was inspired by a series of Pulitzer-winning newspaper articles.
THE KILLING FIELDS?
From a quick Google, I confirmed that The Killing Fields was inspired by a Pulitzer-winning article. I don't know for sure that it's the only such film.
B-19. “He couldn't have walked very far.”
”Why's that?”
”Because I cut off his legs ... and his arms ... and his head. And I'm going to do the same to you.”
Hey, it just came to me! It's ZODIAC!
B-26. This classic was the favorite film of a certain President, but a certain Duke despised it.
HIGH NOON?
Surely it was some John Wayne movie that lots of people love but he personally hated. Stagecoach? The Searchers? The Green Berets?
B-42. This biopic would have been the first Oscar-winning movie to deal with anti-Semitism – if the filmmakers had bothered to acknowledge that one of the central characters was Jewish.
LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA?
I feel pretty confident about this one. It's a biopic, an early Oscar winner, about a man whose chief current claim to fame is the letter "J'accuse" concerning the Dreyfus Affair, which involved anti-Semitism against this Dreyfus fellow (Alfred?). I'm afraid I couldn't tell you a single other thing about Zola or Dreyfus, but the scraps I know fit the clue perfectly.

There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

THIS GUN FOR HIRE? THUNDER ROAD?
I think this must be THIS GUN FOR HIRE. Thunder Road's not really Noir, and Graham Greene write both P&tG and TGFH. Alan Ladd starred in TGFH and Shane.
