28. The recurring theme in his books was built from his discovery that his twin sister died six weeks after birth.

Not a huge sci-fi fan but I am pretty sure this is PHILLIP K. DICK

ADDING

I am thinking that is right because I confirmed a suspicion ....

27. In high school, he won a science fair for a project on an analog computer to solve differential equations. He intended to pursue a career in physics while attending Columbia University, but after watching Citizen Kane and Vertigo, he changed his school and major. The rest is Hollywood history.

THIS is BRIAN DEPALMA.

Okay, here is a list of the names (aside from Albee and Serling) that were added between the consolidation where every name was right and the consolidation where two names were wrong:

6. DONOVAN BAILEY
9. GERTRUDE BERG
17. KIRK CAMERON
18. JAY CARNEY
39. VIRGINIA GRAHAM
48. JAMES EARL JONES
53. DENIS LEARY?
54. ABRAHAM LINCOLN?
81. PRESTON TUCKER

I have personally confirmed Leary, so Lincoln is the one with the question mark that is not correct. It was a wild-ass guess on my part and I should not have taken the question away.

Of the rest, I can confirm 6, 9, 17, 18, 39, and 48. It looks like 81 is the other incorrect answer.

Is the aphorism "Less is More"?

If so, this could be LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE.

It fits alphabetically.

In this consolidation, you did the right thing to get rid of Abe Lincoln and Preston Tucker; however, there are two new names that are wrong. One without a question mark and one with a question mark.

Okay, I looked at the names that were added between the two consolidations. The wrong one with the question mark was BYRON WHITE. I finally got impatient and looked up Supreme Court justices who fit alphabetically, and the correct answer is BUSHROD WASHINGTON. (That first name has to be significant.)

The other wrong one is this one. I misread the question. (Oddly enough Wallis -- who fits alphabetically -- did receive the Thalberg award two years before Sam Goldwyn, and the Cecil B. DeMille award two years after Goldwyn, but that doesn't fit the parameters of the question.

83. This film producer received an honorary Academy Award two years after another film producer received an honorary Academy Award, which occurred the year before that second film producer received an honorary Golden Globe, which occurred two years after the answer to this clue received his honorary Golden Globe.

83. This film producer received an honorary Academy Award two years after another film producer received an honorary Academy Award, which occurred the year before that second film producer received an honorary Golden Globe, which occurred two years after the answer to this clue received his honorary Golden Globe. Got that?

Okay, this is definitely JACK L. WARNER. (The other producer was Buddy Adler).

Doing some research here, because I don't think anyone's getting the remaining ones out of their brains.
29. Among the notable roles of this British actress: a mother of a Beatle, a daughter of a Stuart king, and a daughter of a Tudor king.
ANNE-MARIE DUFF
47. He hosted an innovative puzzle contest in 1984 where the first person who could solve the on-screen detective's mystery and call the telephone number hidden in a safe deposit box somewhere in the United States won $100,000.
Having some trouble with this one. It seems to be a conflation of two separate puzzle contests, one linked to PAUL HOFFMAN and one to WARREN HOLLAND, both of whom fit in the same alphabetical slot. Everything in the puzzle fits Hoffman, but the dollar amount of the reward for his contest was $500,000 plus a golden horse. The $100,000 fits Holland, but there doesn't seem to be an on-screen component to that one.

You're in the ballpark, but I can assure you that the correct answer to this question is way more famous than either Hoffman or Holland. Once you solve this mystery, there will be only one clue that has yet to be guessed and you can start looking to solve the missing links in the Tangredi.

Hmmm. By my count, there are three unsolved clues besides this one. I wonder if that means that one of the unsolved clues is the one that has a direct relationship to the Tangredi.

Here's what's left unsolved:

5. It's probably a good idea not to perform this entertainer's "salute" during a church sermon.

30. This athlete's modest and academic demeanor has long been the subject of articles on The Onion, which had him doing everything from fielding questions about the 2013 federal government sequester to encouraging his teammates to build up their frequent flyer miles.

38. Was his first job disco? Very!
