ReplyDelete12. Both were partially set in sewers.
Well done, Toto! Thanks for getting this month's game off to a great start. (And yes, I prefer Ms. Poppins, too.)
DeleteYou might also add they both played Queens - Julie Andrews as Queen of Genovia in The Princess Diaries and Bette in The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.
DeleteStewart and Mineo were in "Cheyenne Autumn" movie.
ReplyDeleteVery good! There's also another more challenging connection between them.
DeleteThey both appeared in a vehicle titled The Greatest Show on Earth - Mineo in the TV series as a guest star and Stewart in the film (1952)
DeleteThey also both played musician's in films, Mineo in the Gene Krupa Story and Stewart as Glenn Miller in the Glenn Miller Story.
DeleteHooray for beachgal! That musician connection was a toughie.
DeleteFlynn played Barrymore in "Too Much Too Soon" film and/or both under contract with Warner Bros.

Well done!
Delete6. Landau guest-starred as "General Grimm" on a 1965 episode of "The Wild, Wild West," with Martin co-starring as Artemus Gordon.
ReplyDelete--Don Effenberger
I didn't realize that! I was going for a more general connection (but your answer is correct, of course).
DeletePeggy Lee guest starred on The Judy Garland show in 1963
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that either! There's still another connection.
Delete12. They both have pivotal scenes in them that took place in sewer/under street drain systems.
ReplyDeleteThat's right (Toto had answered this one, too).
Delete15. They both were part of films that featured dogs -- Judy with her Toto in The Wizard of Oz and Peggy Lee as part of the voice team (and wrote music for as well) in Lady and the Tramp.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great connection, but there is yet one more and it does involve LADY AND THE TRAMP.
DeleteJudy was in Words & Music (1948) that Leana Horn sang The Lady Is A Tramp in and Peggy Lee was part of the voice team (and wrote music for as well) in Lady and the Tramp (1955) - Peggy co-wrote the song He's A Tramp used in that film.
DeleteWow, the connections keep rolling in on this one. There's yet another involving Si and Am.
DeleteStill need answers for 1, 3, 6, 10, 13, 14, and 15 (though some of the answer given are also correct).
ReplyDelete6. Both were disguise specialists, MI and Wild Wild West.
ReplyDelete3. Taxi Driver, DeNiro is shown a piece of Errol Flynn's bathtub.
Great job in #6. Your answer to #3 is much better than the one I thought of.
ReplyDelete#10 Both Connors and Russell played professional baseball. Connors played for the Dodgers and I believe the Cubs, while Russell played in the minor leagues, I believe it was an Angels farm system---I seem to remember him playing in El Paso, he then was the DH for his father's Independent League Portland team.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Randy!
Delete#6 Landau and Martin both played masters of disguise. Landau in Mission Impossible and Martin in The Wild Wild West.
