Game #165: Who's on First?

Identify the 80 actors in List A and the 50 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 90 pairs, each consisting of one movie and one actor, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

Seven actors will be used twice and one will be used four times.

Nineteen movies will be used twice, six will be used three times, and three will be used four times.

I am sure alternate matches will pop up. We’ll consider it done when every clue has been legitimately used.

Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it.

Now, the dining room. I'd like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong! Now, this is the paper we're going to use in the hall. It's flowered, but I don't want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There's some little dots in the background, and it's these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it. It's the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it's practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan.”

Now, the dining room. I'd like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong! Now, this is the paper we're going to use in the hall. It's flowered, but I don't want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There's some little dots in the background, and it's these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear? Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white. Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it.

Of the ones with a single answer with a question mark, six are correct and three are incorrect. (One of them is a case of 'Right church, wrong pew.')

Of the ones with several suggested answers, two include the correct answer and one does not.

ON LIST B

Three of the definites are wrong. (One is a year too late to be correct; the other is 14 years too early to be correct. The third is a case of 'Right church, wrong pew.')

Of the ones with a single answer with a question mark, two are correct and two are incorrect.

Of the ones with several suggested answers, two include the correct answer and one does not.

A couple of the answers that (I bet) will provide the key to the Tangredi have already been identified.

Sat there thinking that when Sam opened that paper it was going to be Clooney's face on the front page. Not mine. Did you know that Farrah Fawcett died on the same day as Michael Jackson?”

A-62. Although she did have roles in a few major productions – most notably as the daughter of Joan Bennett and Leo G. Carroll and the daughter of Jane Wyman – she is better remembered (if at all) as a 1950s “scream queen.”

A-63. “I used to talk about killing myself all the time, man. But I don't wanna die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't gonna be long enough. Hell, I wouldn't care so much if there hadn't been so many things I haven't done yet. So many damn things I ain't seen or done.
