#7 may not be Donald Sutherland, as he hasn’t won an Oscar (yet), and I can’t find a famous novelist or playwright named Sutherland.

Mary Tyler Moore? It would fit Frank's comment of a right church, wrong pew remaining

[mellytu74]

Can't copy and paste from phone

A guess.

Warner Baxter - In Old Arizona is, I think, an o. Henry story for Buck Henry.

Also, if Frédric March is here for his Oscars and nor an author, one of the missing answers is probably a Stevenson.

Because one is for Dr. Jekyll and the other is for Best Years of Our Lives, which is Glory for Me by McKinley Kantor.

[Vandal]

33. “You wanna run me down, go ahead. You can be as mean and hurtful as you want, but this is the last time you will ever hit me! You do it again, one of us is goin' to the boneyard!”
KATHY BATES

[kroxquo]

52. He received an Oscar nomination for playing the real-life husband of an actress in one of the preceding clues.

This is Javier Bardem in Being the Ricardos

52 JAVIER BARDEM won his Oscar for No Country For Old Men based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy who matches with 13. MELISSA MCCARTHY

[Vandal]

#7 may not be Donald Sutherland, as he hasn’t won an Oscar (yet), and I can’t find a famous novelist or playwright named Sutherland.

Mary Tyler Moore? It would fit Frank's comment of a right church, wrong pew remaining

MTM, confirmed

[silverscreenselect]

33. “You wanna run me down, go ahead. You can be as mean and hurtful as you want, but this is the last time you will ever hit me! You do it again, one of us is goin' to the boneyard!”
KATHY BATES

Kathy Bates won her Oscar for Misery by Stephen King, which matches with 57. Regina King.

[silverscreenselect]

#7 may not be Donald Sutherland, as he hasn’t won an Oscar (yet), and I can’t find a famous novelist or playwright named Sutherland.

Mary Tyler Moore? It would fit Frank's comment of a right church, wrong pew remaining

MTM, confirmed

So that's the match with 65. Gene Hackman for The French Connection by Robin Moore.
