Who Am I? You might say I'm the most successful "female impersonator" in Hollywood history. I made seven feature films at MGM alone, and had a long-running TV series. I've worked with (among others) Donald Crisp, Jimmy Stewart, Peter Lawford, and Cloris Leachman. Who Am I?

Who Are We? A director and a famous actor, we worked together on a dozen films. One of us played a huge role in the other's monumental success. Yet our relationship became so rocky that at the end one of us quite literally had to have his hands pried off the other's throat before he killed him. Who Are We?

Who Am I? I was once quoted as saying, "I can whistle through my fingers, bulldog a steer, light a fire with two sticks, shoot a pistol with fair accuracy, set type, and teach school." I worked with Judith Anderson, Bette Davis, George Brent, and Raoul Walsh, among many others. Who Am !?

1. This film stars Tommy Rettig and Peter Lind Hayes. Name the film, the author of the screenplay, and the actor who played the title role.

2. In this film directed by Sidney Pollack, the lead actor says, "I don't remember yesterday. Today it rained." Pollack appeared in a couple of brief cameo roles, one of which was a cab driver who nearly runs the star down. Name the film and the star who speaks the quoted line.

Name the film and the stars.
