ReplyDelete#4 is intriguing! I'll try the series first. THE YOUNG REBELS?
ReplyDeleteYep, you got #3 Rick! Way to go! Do you remember how they promoted it? "Are you ready for the Louds??"
ReplyDeleteYou've also nailed part of #4! Keep going!
Is Who Am I number 1 Ingrid Bergman, making the answer to question one Joan of Arc?
ReplyDeleteAngel, good work, you are correct on both counts!
ReplyDeleteQuestion #7 Pocketful Full of Miracles, stars Bette Davis and Glenn Ford -- actor and actress are Thomas Mitchell and Ann Margret.
ReplyDelete#10 A Farewell to Arms -- originally starred Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes.
ReplyDelete#8 Duh -- Errol Flynn. The first question I absolutely knew, and the last one I rememberd to answer!
I KNOW Who Said This ! I KNOW it! But I can't remember! Ack!
#5. Was it Battlestar Galactica?
ReplyDeleteBecks, you're on a roll! You're correct on #s 7 and 10, and you got Errol for #8, but you failed to give his full legal name....what's up with that! LOL!
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking about Who Said This?!
Dawn, yes, it is Battlestar Galactica...I also would have accepted Cattlestar Ponderosa which was the nickname for it when I was in grad school, LOL!
Recap: the questions that remain are Who Said This?, the second Who Am I?, #s 2, (half of) 4, 6, and 9. Also, Becks failed to give Errol Flynn's full legal name for #8...come on Becks, we know you know it, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe rest of #4: Lou Gossett, Jr. was the star and the titled aristocrat was Philippe Forquet (who played Lafayette in the series).
ReplyDeleteYep, it was Lou Gossett, Jr. and Phillipe Forquet.
ReplyDeleteIn case anyone is wondering, Forquet's full name/title is Phillipe Forquet Vicomte de Dorne. Thanks for playing TT, Rick!
Picky, picky -- Errol Leslie Thomson Flynn. Doesn't everybody know that?
ReplyDeleteI'm having no luck with Who Said This? My brain is not cooperating. Right now all the little index cards are flipping rapidly through my stores of knowledge, but the right one has not popped up. I KNOW it's in there somewhere.
Joann, wonderful candid pic of Errol. I'd fix his coffee, bacon and eggs any day.
Ahhhh! I'm doing a happy dance! that's not easy to do while you are typing. All of a sudden, the right card popped up!
ReplyDeleteIt's from Anastasia. Helen Hayes as the Dowager Empress says it to Ingrid Bergman, who believes she may be the long-lost Romanov princess. It is such a moving moment, and Helen Hayes just wrings your heart. TA DA!!!
Wah-hoo Becks!! You got Who Said This?!!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn loves that scene too, Helen Hayes is absolutely stealing the movie at that point. She's also glad you liked the Flynn pic, she's spent some time lately downloading new ones so she can keep you happy, LOL!
Thanks for giving Flynn's full legal name; yes, I'm being picky, LOL!
Thank you, Picky Paul (ha ha). I can sleep easily now! And JoAnn, you and I must be sisters under the skin! Bless you!
