Is #4 Malcolm McDowell (I don’t remember him as head of a ballet company)?
Okay, that was very fast. (The ballet company was The Company.)
#2 has to be Cary Grant, because I can’t think of any other paleontologists (the ad exec is in NNW).
#3 is Aniston. Is #7 Spacek? No. Not Spacek. Hmm…
(I feel like I should know a lot of these.)
Sally Field for #5…?
Is #6 Peter Lorre?
Is #5 Ellen Barkin?
I think #1 is Cher, and #7 makes me think of Famke Janssen.
Scratch Ellen Barkin for #5. It’s Doris Day.
The only ones I knew have already been guessed.
I have to start getting up earlier on Tuesdays….
This one was crazy fast.
Is the playwright movie Arsenic and Old Lace? Because he’s actually a drama critic in that one.
Yeah, the answers are in the other post. He’s really not a playwright? I’ve seen that movie more than five times, and I really thought…Oh, nevermind. Undoubtedly it’s my brain at fault.
