It makes sense that this would be someone in From Here to Eternity and I actually guessed this. Burt Lancaster was in a circus act with Nick Cravat and I looked up Cravat's filmography. Sure enough, he played the gremlin in the Twilight Zone episode with William Shatner in the plane.

So, this is Burt Lancaster who matches with Ava Gardner through Frank Sinatra.
You keep beating me to the punch! And we still don't have Nancy Kelly accounted for, right?

And just for completeness,
2. BURT LANCASTER + Frank Sinatra (From Here to Eternity) = 40. AVA GARDNER

Do we have a fifth actor used twice?

No Nancy Kelly and no actor used five times.

So, the co-star of Nancy Kelly's Oscar-winning spouse - whoever it may be - will be the fifth actor used twice.

I'll parachute in here and close the game.

Nancy Kelly was married to Edmond O'Brien, who won the Oscar for The Barefoot Contessa, which also starred Ava Gardner

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm also glad this got solved in less than a week!

I actually have a new lyrics game ready to go. Wondering if I should wait a bit.

Since Decades is almost finished, you can post it as soon as next week. You know I'll be here for it.
