It never occurred to me that anyone would think they couldn't! The "supportive" in the title was referring to the actors in List A.
Updated consolidation…
Identify the 36 actors in List A and the 70 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match each actor to three or more movies, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.
• 1 actor will be matched to 6 moves
• 2 actors will be matched to 5 movies
• 8 actors will be matched to 4 movies
• 25 actors will be matched to 3 movies
34 movies will be used twice, 8 movies will be used three times, and 1 movie will be used four times.
There will be no alternate answers.
