Am I close?
Elisabth, your answer to #2 is better than the one I was thinking of (which someone guessed below)! You are right on 8 and 12--though there's another fun answer to #12.
Delete2. Davis and Montgomery played witches.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct--and yet there's still one more answer. I didn't that Liz and Bette were so connected!
Delete6. Jim Hutton and Ralph Bellamy both played Ellery Queen.
ReplyDelete7. Sidney Poitier played a high school teacher in To Sir With Love and James Franciscus played a high school teacher in the TV series Mr. Novak.

Well done on all three questions, Jerome!

5. Hayley Mills and Bette Davis have played twins in "The Parent Trap" (HM) and "A Stolen Life" and "Dead Ringer" (BD
Your answer to #2 was the one I was thinking of when I wrote the question--though, per the previous comments--there are other intriguing correct answers. You're right on 2 and 5, too, of course!
Delete10. Both feature carousels
ReplyDelete11. Both played lawyers and senators.
14. Both played ghosts.
I'm pressed, Toto, especially with getting both lawyers and senators for #11! I had actually forgotten they both played lawyers.
Delete4. Both in versions of Paleface. 9. Both in movies named CARRIE!
ReplyDeleteNicely done on both questions, Bill! I thought the CARRIE one might be difficult, but I've learned never to underestimate the cinematic intelligence of those who visit the Cafe.
Delete15. They both appeared in Horror Express in '72
ReplyDelete9. LO played the 'White Angel' Dr. Christian Szell in The Marathon Man and JT played the archangel in Michael.
DeleteI actually wrote the question with the Bond villain connection in mind and only realized later that HORROR EXPRESS was a more direct connection. You're so smart!
DeleteThere is an additional connection for #12 that hasn't been answered. Otherwise, this quiz is complete--and in record time, I might add.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stretch for #12 - both starred in movie musicals from Broadway shows. My Sister Eileen and Bye Bye Birdie for Leigh, A Little Night Music for Liz.
ReplyDeleteOr...both made movies with Lassie.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Bill! I didn't see this post when I came up with the same answer!
DeleteLassie was the first connection I thought of!
Delete12. Lassie!
