#1 -They both played characters with superlative brain power: Hamilton in The Power and Irving The Fury?(DePalma anyway)
#2 - They both played angels Bishop's Wife and that Spielberg remake of A guy Named Joe
#8 this aint the answer you're looking for but aren't they both Warner Bros. releases?
Oh yeah -#10 - They both have characters that enter and/or leave the screen
ReplyDeleteVery good on #1 (BTW, I love THE POWER, though I know I'm in the minority). And right again on #2, with Audrey being angelic in ALWAYS. I don't know if both pics in #8 were from WB.

DeleteDuvall quit Godfather Part III in a money squabble with Coppola; Hamilton replaced him in a last-minute rewrite.
14.
Diana Rigg played Dietrich's part in a TV remake of Witness For The Prosecution.
8.
Both from WB - and both in 3D.
Another interesting connection on #6 and you're right (naturally!) on #14.
DeleteOh yeah - #10: They both have characters that enter and/or leave the screen
ReplyDeleteWell done! I still think SHERLOCK JR. was probably Keaton's best.
Delete5. Both guest-starred on Combat! (I don't think this is the answer you're looking for, but as a huge Combat! fan it was the first thing that popped in my head. LOL!)
ReplyDeleteLearning stuff like this is what I love about this game!
Delete12. They both played green characters, Hamilton the Wicked Witch of the West, Ferrigno The Hulk.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious that you got this question...green with envy!
Delete6. Both played country singers, Duvall in Tender Mercies, and Hamilton as Hank Williams in Your Cheatin Heart.
ReplyDelete9. Both play submarine captains, Mason in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and Pidgeon in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! One encountered a giant squid and the other a giant octopus!
Delete#3. The leading lady of Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger is the daughter of the leading man of Nightmare Alley.
ReplyDelete#8. Two of my favourite movies...no, that's not it...two of my favourite 3D movies.
You are so smart!
DeleteThanks for not making it "smart alec".
Delete4. They both played the goddess Venus, Ava Gardner in One Touch of Venus and Vanna in The Goddess of Love.
ReplyDelete7. They both played quarterbacks, Beatty in Heaven Can Wait and Heston in Number One.
Very impressive, especially Ava and Vanna since not many people know the latter’s film.
Delete#5 They both played cornermen in boxing films. Bronson in Kid Galahad and Rooney in Requiem for a Heavyweight.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's very cool! But there's a less interesting connection, too.
Delete#13. Both actors played extraterrestrials with human "spouses," Tryon in I Married a Monster from Outer Space and Bridges in Starman.
ReplyDeleteAlien "spouses"...I like that!
DeleteOnly three questions still need answers: 5, 11 (pretty hard), and 15 (difficult, too).
ReplyDelete5. Played real life gangsters.
ReplyDelete11. Used specially modified rifles - Quigley Down Under.
15.Skiing.
Show off :). Really well done, Bill!
