Game #155: Teamwork at the Bijou
Identify the 75 actors in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 40 pairs according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Five of the actors will be used twice. No one may be paired with himself or herself.
I could have included more than 40 pairs, but I didn’t want to make it to too easy. (I don't think this one is very hard as it is.)
1. “Exactly like your father: a big, stupid, muscle-headed moron!”
2. This actor’s longtime show biz partner is best remembered today for playing a gremlin.
3. “You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we’re in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, business is a-boomin'!”
4. Fifty years after winning the Oscar for Best Actress, she was posthumously given the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
5. “I'm with you because I choose to be with you. I don't want to live someone else's idea of how to live. Don't ask me to do that. I don't want to find out one day that I'm at the end of someone else's life.”
6. This Texas-born actor was instrumental in getting his cousin Sissy Spacek enrolled at the Actors Studio.
7. “You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!”
8. Before launching his big screen career, this actor had the distinction of playing the first gay teenager on a network soap opera.
9. “Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.”
10. His real-life roles included a professional baseball player, a college football player, and a 19th century cavalry commander.
11. “If this refrigerator gets any more fish in it, it will swim upstream and spawn all by itself.”
12. He received Oscar nominations for roles that had previously been played on Broadway by Laurence Olivier, Arthur Hill, Rex Harrison, and Anthony Hopkins.
13. “I find you attractive. Your aggressive moves toward me ... indicate that you feel the same way. But still, ritual requires that we continue with a number of platonic activities ... before we have sex. I am proceeding with these activities, but in point of actual fact, all I really want to do is have intercourse with you as soon as possible.”
14. This Australian actress completes a trio that also includes Dame Edith Evans and Joyce Redman.
15. “I can't get over it. What kinda creep wouldn't catch a baby? If it was real it coulda been crippled for life.”
16. In one of my favorite episodes of my favorite television series, he played an aging stage actor whose career is rejuvenated by a brief visit to the past.
17. “I didn't think about it much. If I had, I'd have known you'd die before I did. But I couldn't have guessed you'd get heart trouble so early and so bad. I'm lucky, Horace. I've always been lucky. I'll be lucky again.”
18. This actress completes the following list: Cate Blanchett, Michael Caine, Diane Keaton, Mira Sorvino, Dianne Wiest.
19. “Every time the Mob puts the pressure on a good man, tries to stop him from doing his duty as a citizen, it's a crucifixion. And anybody who sits around and lets it happen, keeps silent about something he knows that happened, shares the guilt of it just as much as the Roman soldier who pierced the flesh of our Lord to see if he was dead.”
20. In one of the most oddly cast Shakespearean films of all time, he played the king to whom Mickey Rooney owed his allegiance.
21. “I know you like me. I know it. For the last year or two, you've been pretending like you hate me. I love you very much. I love you as much as I love anybody, as much as I love myself. And in a few years when I haven't been around to be on your tail about something or irritating you, you could remember that time that I bought you the baseball glove when you thought we were too broke. You know? Or when I read you those stories? Or when I let you goof off instead of mowing the lawn? Lots of things like that. And you're gonna realize that you love me. And maybe you're gonna feel badly, because you never told me. But don't. I know that you love me. So don't ever do that to yourself, all right?”
22. A discovery of Edith Piaf, this actor starred opposite Barbra Streisand in her least successful musical film.
23. “How do you do, sir? I'd like to talk with you sometime, sir, and tell you about my idea for harnessing the life force. It'll make atomic power look like the horse and buggy. I'm already developing my faculty for seeing millions of miles. And Senator, can you imagine being able to smell a flower - on the planet Mars? I'd like to have lunch with you someday soon, sir. Tell you more about it.”
24. On Broadway, he originated roles that would later be played on screen by Jack Lemmon, Marlon Brando, Rock Hudson, and Tommy Steele.
25. “Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?”
26. This actor received an Oscar nomination for playing a role that had previously netted an Oscar nomination for another actor whom the first actor would later receive an Oscar nomination for playing. Got that?
27. “You're too good for me, George. You're a hundred times too good. And I'd make you most unhappy, most. That is, I'd do my best to.”
28. When Bob Denver got drafted, this actor nearly got to replace him on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis – only to lose the gig when Denver was classified 4-F.
29. “Don't go away, you f**king a**hole, don't go away. Don't go away, you f**king a**hole, don't go away! Don't go away, f**king a**hole!”
30. In her first notable film role – the first of many – she played a young girl who grew up to become Mrs. John Profumo.
31. “You and I are such similar creatures, Vivian. We both screw people for money.”
32. In her last three films, she played the wives of my favorite actor, Samantha’s father, and Charley’s aunt.
33. “If I die first, and I almost certainly will, you will be my sole heir. There's not much in the kitty except a set of ivory-backed hairbrushes and my library of romantic poetry, but when the time comes, these will be yours. Along with whatever we haven't already spent on whores and whiskey.”
34. Best known for her stage work, this renowned actress made her film debut as the Archangel Gabriel.
35. “There are 20 million women on this island and I've got to be chained to you.”
36. This 1940s leading man made eleven feature films with his good buddy Jack Carson.
37. “I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bulls**t. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and get in my bed!”
38. Her debut film was not screened publicly in Los Angeles for two decades due to the political brouhaha surrounding its star/director/writer/producer/composer.
39. “Who would do such a thing? The field was proof enough that it was a people without value and without soul, with no regard for Sioux rights. The wagon tracks leading away left little doubt and my heart sank as I knew it could only be white hunters. Voices that had been joyous all morning were now as silent as the dead buffalo left to rot in this valley, killed only for their tongues and the price of their hides.”
40. In the film version of a Tennessee Williams drama , she played a role originated on Broadway by an actress who is the answer to one of the preceding clues, opposite an actor who is the answer to one of the preceding clues.
41. “John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.”
42. The title of his autobiography came from an infamous incident in which a director coaxed tears out of him by threatening to kill his pet.
43. “You are thirty years older than I am. You and your whole lousy generation believes the way it was for you is the way it's got to be. And not until your whole generation has lain down and died will the dead weight of you be off our backs! You understand, you've got to get off my back!”
44. This onetime beauty queen lost her right leg in 2011 and her only child in 2015.
45. “I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it.”
46. Though usually thought of as a leading man, this actor did some of his best work when billed below other male actors such as Richard Barthelmess, Edward G. Robinson, Ronald Colman, and Cary Grant.
47. “It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now to give it the perfect ending was a bit of the old Ludwig Van.”
48. One of the few things John Garfield and Fred Astaire had in common was that they both starred in films opposite this German actress.
49. “Put up your arms and all your flippers.”
50. In the early 1970s – when he seemed to be in every third movie that came out – a Time magazine cover story touted him as a “star for an uptight age.”
51. “When your husband makes love to you, it's my face he sees. When your baby's hungry, it's my breast that feeds him. Look at you! When push comes to shove, you can't even breathe!”
52. Toward the end of his life, this highly respected actor dubbed the voice of Mustafa in the Italian version of The Lion King.
53. “I'm afraid that's just it, Emily. I haven't really made any sacrifices. Oh, I haven't hoarded and cheated and done all the other selfish, unpatriotic things that you've done. But as far as making sacrifices, I'm afraid we're two of a kind. And the realization of it doesn't make me very proud or happy.”
54. The Hollywood blacklist destroyed both her promising acting career and her marriage to a major star of musicals.
55. “War, terrible war. Widows, orphans, a motherless child. This was the uprising that rocked our land. Thirteen districts rebelled against the country that fed them, loved them, protected them. Brother turned on brother until nothing remained. And then came the peace, hard fought, sorely won. A people rose up from the ashes and a new era was born. But freedom has a cost. When the traitors were defeated, we swore as a nation we would never know this treason again.”
56. This actor played his most important role in 1930 and his most famous role in nine films from 1938 to 1942.
57. “If it's a choice of only six more months here with you or living forever all by myself, well, I'll take the six more months here with you. I don't want to live forever if you're not going to be with me.”
58. Her film career has included adaptations of works by the authors of Eight Cousins, The House of Mirth, and After the Fall.
59. “I know why you have come - I have seen it in your faces Sunday after Sunday as I've stood here before you. Fear has brought you here. Horrible, superstitious fear. Fear of divine retribution a bolt of fire from the skies. The vengeance of the Lord and the justice of God. But you have forgotten the love of Jesus. You disregard His sacrifice. Death, fear, flames, horror and black clothes. Hold your meeting then, but know if you do this in the name of God and in the house of God, you blaspheme against Him and His Word.”
60. This actress served as Matron of Honor at the second wedding of the actor in Clue 10.
61. “You got to shave one testicle, then all the crabs go over to the other testicle. You got to light the hair on fire on that one, and when they all go scurrying out, you take an icepick and you f**king stab every single last one of them.”
62. This actor held a degree in Art History from Yale and later founded an eponymous art museum in Los Angeles.
63. “I'd say you don't like to be rated. You like to get out in front, open up a little lead, take a little breather in the backstretch, and then come home free.”
64. She received her only Oscar nomination for reprising her Tony-winning role as the mother of a very naughty little girl.
65. “James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington ... John Adams. We've long resisted asking you for guidance. Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we've feared an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But, we've come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding ... that who we are is who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.”
66. Improbably, this two-time Oscar winner won a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as a Charleston-dancing White Russian expatriate.
67. “I'm not one to use hyperbole, ladies and gentlemen, but I'll tell you this: for the first time in my life, I had the caca scared out of me!”
68. This actor once had a live-in relationship with a British character actress 22 years his senior. (“And here’s to you, Mrs. Naugatuck….”)
69. “Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.”
70. He starred in the highest-grossing entry in one of the longest-running franchises in film history. (You have six actors to choose from.)
71. “We Romans are rich. We've got a lot of gods. We've got a god for everything. The only thing we don't have a god for is premature ejaculation ... but I hear that's coming quickly.”
72. One of the handful of actors to lose two Oscars in the same night, she finally picked up the award on her fifth nomination.
73. “Always be closing, always be closing.”
74. He is quite open about the many, many sexual liaisons he enjoyed as a Hollywood star in his 20s, but insists that the messy breakup of his first marriage to another Hollywood star had nothing whatsoever to do with his rumored infidelity with the nanny who became his second wife.
75. “No. No, Mother, I have not been drinking. No. No. These two men, they poured a

I got it confused with Sweet Bird of Youth. Geraldine Page was in both of them, so I was confused.
Colleen Dewhurst is definitely the right answer to Angel Gabriel (Nun's Story), so I automatically thought of her. Page was in both movie and play of Sweet Bird of Youth.
But, yes, it could be Davis, too.

Richard Burton and Bette Davis are #12 and #17, so surely AVA GARDNER is the actress we're looking for in #40.

One definite answer is wrong. There is nothing ambiguous about it, it's just wrong
Of the answers with a question mark, all but one are correct.
Of the answers with two alternates, both include the correct answer.
You have enough correct matches to complete 22 out pf 40 pairs.

Re: Game #155: Teamwork at the Bijou
I think I have the wrong one.
46. Though usually thought of as a leading man, this actor did some of his best work when billed below other male actors such as Richard Barthelmess, Edward G. Robinson, Ronald Colman, and Cary Grant.
DAVID NIVEN
It's most likely DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, JR.
Barthelmess is Dawn Patrol, Little Caesar is Robinson, Colman is Prisoner of Zenda (which is what led me to Niven), and Gunga Din is Grant.

Re: Game #155: Teamwork at the Bijou
And I have the wrong question mark. Jude Law has only been married once, so he can't be the answer to #74.
Here's an updated consolidation with the clue for #74 restored and all the other question marks removed:
Identify the 75 actors in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 40 pairs according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. Five of the actors will be used twice. No one may be paired with himself or herself.
I could have included more than 40 pairs, but I didn’t want to make it to too easy. (I don't think this one is very hard as it is.)
2. This actor’s longtime show biz partner is best remembered today for playing a gremlin.
11. “If this refrigerator gets any more fish in it, it will swim upstream and spawn all by itself.”
14. This Australian actress completes a trio that also includes Dame Edith Evans and Joyce Redman.
19. “Every time the Mob puts the pressure on a good man, tries to stop him from doing his duty as a citizen, it's a crucifixion. And anybody who sits around and lets it happen, keeps silent about something he knows that happened, shares the guilt of it just as much as the Roman soldier who pierced the flesh of our Lord to see if he was dead.”
30. In her first notable film role – the first of many – she played a young girl who grew up to become Mrs. John Profumo.
32. In her last three films, she played the wives of my favorite actor, Samantha’s father, and Charley’s aunt.
48. One of the few things John Garfield and Fred Astaire had in common was that they both starred in films opposite this German actress.
52. Toward the end of his life, this highly respected actor dubbed the voice of Mustafa in the Italian version of The Lion King.
58. Her film career has included adaptations of works by the authors of Eight Cousins, The House of Mirth, and After the Fall.
61. “You got to shave one testicle, then all the crabs go over to the other testicle. You got to light the hair on fire on that one, and when they all go scurrying out, you take an icepick and you f**king stab every single last one of them.”
62. This actor held a degree in Art History from Yale and later founded an eponymous art museum in Los Angeles.
67. “I'm not one to use hyperbole, ladies and gentlemen, but I'll tell you this: for the first time in my life, I had the caca scared out of me!”
74. He is quite open about the many, many sexual liaisons he enjoyed as a Hollywood star in his 20s, but insists that the messy breakup of his first marriage to another Hollywood star had nothing whatsoever to do with his rumored infidelity with the nanny who became his second wife.

Re: Game #155: Teamwork at the Bijou
The same one that is wrong before is still wrong, but it can now be fixed based on information given. Everything else is correct!
In #30, I probably should have written "grows" instead of "grew," but it doesn't make a huge difference.
