Somebody made an incredible movie out of this book, and I became a lifelong fan of Burgess Meredith. Sometimes I would watch something just because he was in it -- yeah, that includes Rocky... I still remember the last scene.

Chris isn't done with his run, yet, but from the first two days of this special charity week, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals is still a llama.

I wonder if TPTB bothered promising them a minimum donation?

Q5: I really stink at this. Couldn't come up with 2 actresses, let alone 2 Oscar winners, for Davis, Hunt or Hudson. JTQ

I can eliminate Hepburn and Davis. As a fan of NCIS:Los Angeles I know Linda Hunt won an Oscar but not sure about Helen. Might as well ATA and hope.
