  1. Melville says:

    #1 is Katharine Hepburn.

  2. Amy says:

    These are great questions… I’m probably not going to be able to figure any of them out first, but definitely, nice and juicy.

  3. deblipp says:

    It was hard to do, Amy. Turns out, there’s not all that much marriage in movies. You think of a major star, generally they’re single, either because it’s a romance, or because they’re a loner of some sort.

  4. Melville says:

    Some semi-guesses:
    2. Dennis Quaid?
    4. Gregory Peck?
    7. Amy Madigan?
    You’re right, it’s hard to think of many movies where these actors played married people.

  5. TehipiteTom says:

    2 is Antonio Banderas, I think.

  6. TehipiteTom says:

    Is #7 Sissy Spacek?

  7. deblipp says:

    Melville, I see what you’re doing; you’re thinking of actors who are more character actors than leads, who might have played a wife or husband…that’s kind of what I did when I had trouble writing the quiz.

  8. TehipiteTom says:

    I think #3 is Dianne Wiest.

  9. George says:

    #5 is Dame Judi Dench (84 Charing Cross Road, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Iris, respectively)
