Today's Scoring: (110 points possible with bonus)

Exact year = 10 pts

3. Arnold Palmer, the guy Jesus thinks he is on the golf course.

4. Guy Ritchie, English director and loving husband of Madonna.

8. Jane Wyman, noted actress and ex-wife of Ronald Reagan.

9. Dalton Trumbo, screenwriter on the Hollywood Blacklist and Colorado native.

Bonus: Who was the actor/director who effectively broke the blacklist in 1958 by openly hiring Dalton Trumbo to write a screenplay for what movie? (5 points each for the person and the movie.)
Actor: Kirk Douglas,
Director: Stanley Kubrick (of the movie)
Movie: Sparticus
It was Kirk who was behind the bold move (at the time) when trying to figure out how to handle the screenwriting credit, at one point Kubrick volunteered to take the credit, this really pissed of Kirk who refered to Kubrick as a talented sh*t (according to Kirk's autobiography). It was Kirk who brought in Kubrick on Sparticus after he was unhappy with the initial director (forgot the original director) having worked with him on the classic 'Paths Of Glory'. Otto Preminger at the time was also about to list a blacklisted writer but I believe Kurt Douglas and Sparticus was the first from a variety of ways of looking at it.

He wrote Spartacus for Kirk Douglas and Exodus for Otto Preminger when you say actor director Kirk is more an actor and Preminger more a director. They both came out at the same time but I think Spartacus would have taken longer to write and you did say actor/director so Kirk Douglas and Spartacus final answer

Coming:

1. Joe Perry, lead guitarist for Aerosmith.

1950

I know! Not only is the crush of my youth hitting the early birds with Marley, but he's only 10 years younger than MY MOM!!!!1

2. Colin Firth, actor whose charm escapes me. And apparently only me.

1960

Holds his age well, almost everybody guessed him much younger.

3. Arnold Palmer, the guy Jesus thinks he is on the golf course.

1929

4. Guy Ritchie, English director and loving husband of Madonna.

1968

Born on the exact same day as Big Daddy Kane, but I figured people would be more familiar with Ritchie. And I was right, almost everybody got a 5-10 pointer on him.

5. Your favourite and mine, the one, the only, Sanjaya! (You need a last name? Okay, Malakar.)

Same with Sanjaya. I guess that speaks to the power of American Idol.

9. Dalton Trumbo, screenwriter on the Hollywood Blacklist and Colorado native.

1976

10. Burgess Meredith, Batman’s Penguin and Rocky’s Mickey.

1997

Doesn't seem nearly that long ago.

Bonus: Who was the actor/director who effectively broke the blacklist in 1958 by openly hiring Dalton Trumbo to write a screenplay for what movie? (5 points each for the person and the movie.)

Kirk Douglas, Spartacus

Otto Preminger hired him for Exodus a year later, but both pictures came out about the same time.

Born on the exact same day as Big Daddy Kane, but I figured people would be more familiar with Ritchie. And I was right, almost everybody got a 5-10 pointer on him.

And when was that, exactly?

I figured that I didn't actually need to say anything beyond that it was the same year as Big Daddy Kane.

What? Don't tell me that you forget to send Big Daddy a birthday card again this year! Dude, he's going to get fed up with you one of these days.

Hey, I'm very proud to have scored in double digits today!

And I don't really give Hallmark a lot of business...
