I've got it. I don't want to engage in wholesale cheating, so I'm only going to give matches that I know the source material.

14. ROBERT DONAT won his Oscar for Goodbye, Mr. Chips, based on the novel by James Hilton who matches with 56. THE HILTON TWINS (Shame on you Frank for not using Paris Hilton)

51. DONNA REED won her Oscar for From Here to Eternity, based on the novel by James Jones, who matches with 16. SHIRLEY JONES. Since turnaround is fair play,

16. SHIRLEY JONES won her Oscar for Elmer Gantry, based on the novel by Sinclair Lewis, who matches with 40. JERRY LEWIS.

3. JULIE ANDREWS won her Oscar for Mary Poppins, based on the books by PL Travers, who matches with 55. HENRY TRAVERS

76. JOAN CRAWFORD won her Oscar for Mildred Pierce, based on the novel by James M. Cain, who matches with 18. DEAN CAIN

42. PEGGY ASHCROFT won her Oscar for A Passage to India, based on the novel by EM Forster, who matches with 10. ROBERT FORSTER

43. GREGORY PECK won his Oscar for To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the novel by Harper Lee, who matches with 25. CHRISTOPHER LEE

74. VIVIEN LEIGH won an Oscar for Gone with the Wind, based on the novel by Margaret Mitchell, who matches with 16. THOMAS MITCHELL

8. REX HARRISON won his Oscar for My Fair Lady, based on Pygmalion by GB Shaw, who goes with 49. ROBERT SHAW

Cliff Robertson won his Oscar for Charlie, based on Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Is one of the unmatched clues Evelyn Keyes? And if Charlton Heston is on the list, there should be an actor named Wallace.
53. “It's not a monster, it's just a doggy….”

I knew this sounded familiar. It's DEE WALLACE in Cujo

The French Connection was written by Robin Moore, so if Roger or Demi Moore are among the unsolved clues, that's a link to Gene Hackman.

DO we have Jennifer Lawrence anywhere?

Glenda Jackson won an Oscar for DH Lawrence's Women in Love.

Silver Linings Playbook was based on a book by a guy named Quick, so she wouldn't be here for her Oscar, likely.

#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.

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.
