  1. Melville says:

    Is #4 Malcolm McDowell (I don’t remember him as head of a ballet company)?

  2. deblipp says:

    Okay, that was very fast. (The ballet company was The Company.)

  3. TehipiteTom says:

    #2 has to be Cary Grant, because I can’t think of any other paleontologists (the ad exec is in NNW).

  4. Roberta says:

    #3 is Aniston. Is #7 Spacek? No. Not Spacek. Hmm…

    (I feel like I should know a lot of these.)

  5. lunofajro says:

    Sally Field for #5…?

  6. Melville says:

    Is #5 Ellen Barkin?

  7. Evn says:

    I think #1 is Cher, and #7 makes me think of Famke Janssen.

  8. Melville says:

    Scratch Ellen Barkin for #5. It’s Doris Day.

    The only ones I knew have already been guessed.

  10. George says:

    I have to start getting up earlier on Tuesdays….

  11. deblipp says:

    This one was crazy fast.

  12. TehipiteTom says:

    Is the playwright movie Arsenic and Old Lace? Because he’s actually a drama critic in that one.

  13. deblipp says:

    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.
