A-38. SISSY SPACEK
A-39. DARRYL HICKMAN
A-56. DOLLY PARTON
A-77. PERT KELTON
A-83. MADELEINE STOWE
A-87. SHANI WALLIS
A-98. TARAJI P. HENSON
A-115. SALMA HAYEK
A-119. CHARLTON HESTON

There aren't any other actors with significant filmographies who share the first names of these people (The actress in A-83 is Madeleine Stowe, not spelled the same as Madeline Kahn). So they must be in the puzzle for some operation involving their last names. Maybe someone else can spot a pattern here because I'm stumped right now.

B-41. This 1964 movie launched two popular series – one a comedy featuring the character whose actor was only second-billed in the original film, the other a cartoon series featuring a character who only appeared in the original film’s credits. Got that?
THE PINK PANTHER? A SHOT IN THE DARK?

THE PINK PANTHER (Interesting trivia that Peter Ustinov was originally signed to play Inspector Clouseau but dropped out of the project.)

This movie could yield "Pink" (Pretty in Pink) or "Panther" (Black Panther) or both as separate matches.

Okay - Helen Mirren + Hayek - HayeS = Helen Hayes, who was in Airport.

Frank said THE ACTORS weren't there for their roles.

He never said we couldn't CREATE an actor's name for a role.

I have nothing else right now but it's a possibility
