Well done, CW! I knew you'd get any question involving an actor from Wagon Train.
Delete3. They both played Etta Place, the Sundance Kid's girlfriend.
ReplyDelete7. Angela Cartwright
8. Angela Cartwright's sister, Veronica, was in Alien.
Great job, Jerome, especially with the Etta Place question.
Delete4. Yvette Mimieux was married to Stanley Donan who directed Michael Caine in Blame It On Rio.
ReplyDeleteThat is true, but there's also another connection between Yvette Mimieux and Michael Caine.
Delete15. Dana Andrews of Laura is the older brother of Steve Forest, who had a small role in S.W.A.T.
ReplyDeleteThat's correct! Steve Forrest was the star of the original S.W.A.T. TV series.
Delete2. Janet Leigh was the mother of Jamie Lee Curtis who starred in "A Fish Called Wanda with John Cleese
ReplyDelete5. They both played the same role of a nurse in the two versions of "Witness for the Procecution".
9. All three started in Japanese monster movies.
On #2, I said the sought-after connection was not Jamie Lee Curtis. But you're right on #5 and #9. Well done!
Delete6. ("Lost Horizon" and "The Time Machine") Both main characters return at movies' end to the places they first found. Add Gene Kelly ("Brigadoon") for a trifecta.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good answer. Surprisingly, there is another connection, too.
DeleteStill looking for answers for 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, and 13.
ReplyDelete12. Ghosts.
ReplyDelete13. Wizardoz.
Nicely done, Bill!
Delete4. Late 70s disaster movies - Yvette in Disaster on the Coastline ... Caine in Beyond the Poseidon Adventure
ReplyDeleteThat's good! There's yet another connection, too, inclusion a profession.
Delete6. I'm gonna try one more time: Colman and Taylor both were involved in airplane crashes in their respective movies, "Lost Horizon" and "Fate Is The Hunter."
ReplyDeleteAnother great connection! But there is still at least one more. Who would have thought these guys had so much in common?
DeleteLOL. Okay, you win, Rick. I'll look forward to hearing about it.
Delete2. What's up, Doc? Both actors starred in movies that featured "killer rabbits," Cleese in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and Leigh in the B classic "Night of the Lepus."
ReplyDeleteTerrific job, Al!
Delete10. Lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteGrat job, Bill. That one turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
DeleteTo close out this game, here are some other connections for two questions: 4 - Yvette Mimieux and Michael Caine played professional killers in, respectively, HIT LADY and GET CARTER; 6 - Rod Taylor starred in THE BIRDS and Ronald Colman was in CHAMPAGNE FOR CAESAR, which featured a bird named Caesar.
ReplyDeleteSquawk!
