Is #1 Terrence Stamp?
Well, Stamp has played a drag queen, but as far as I know, not the other two.
Is #1 William Hurt? I don’t know why he comes to mind, but maybe there’s something buried in my subconscious.
Is #5 George C. Scott?
Kathy, no, Tom, yes.
#1 John Malcovich?
#3 Tim Curry?
#6 Charlize Theron and #4 Isabella Rossalini?
Is #1 Wesley Snipes?
Holy cow, all these wrong guesses!
I’ll wait a bit and see if I need to re-write the quiz. I might give years.
Better to invite ridicule than to not play, so…
2. Anne Bancroft
6. Nicholas Cage
4. Diana Rigg
#1: Rutger Hauer? Nighthawks (terrorist) and Blind Justice (blind man), but not sure where he was a woman.
Where was Nicolas Cage a fashion model? Birdy? Vampire’s Kiss?
Steve, you got #4. Norbizness, #1 is not Rutger Hauer.
#6 – Angelina Jolie
How about Philip Seymour Hoffman? Is #1 Philip Seymour Hoffman?
Evn, you should be ashamed of your lack of drag queen expertise. (No one else needs to be ashamed; just Evn.)
Brandi, good job.
Just out of curiosity, who was the other general (the obvious one, I know)? I knew Flim-Flam Man, but had only a vague recollection of a bank robbery; I had to look up Bank Shot (after guessing).
Evn, you should be ashamed of your lack of drag queen expertise.
Yeah, I’m kinda butch that way.
I don’t know which one you think is obvious, Tom, both Dr. Strangelove and Patton are about equally famous.
Is #2 Diane Keaton ?
and #7 Walter Matthau?
fiona, yes on #2, no on #7.
Oh, duh. Somehow it never even occurred to me that the other might be a fictitious general.
#7 is Spencer Tracy.
Is #3 Gary Oldman?
That would make #1 the Bond connection…
Mel beat me by 3 minutes on Spencer Tracy. And I think Diana Rigg is the Bond connection.
And I think Diana Rigg is the Bond connection.
Oh, right. Sorry, my bad.
Is #1 Hugo Weaving?
AAARG. Well, at least I guessed a drag queen from the same movie…
You did. You were SO close.
[…] a tough one, so I added co-stars. Filed under: Trivia — deblipp @ 8:45 […]
Hint clarification request: there are 4 movies by my count, and co-stars for three; can we assume those are the first 3 of the 4?
God, I’m so sorry. No, I completely failed to notice the first movie, which is the one that inspired choosing this actor in the first place. Fixed.
Jeroen Krabbé.
And apparently, the second movie of #3 is yet another Bond connection. (I knew the first and fourth right away; the other two I had to look up.)
On edit: by the way, I enjoyed this one so much I’m going to do my own quiz that’s the inverse of it. 😉
Yes, I had two Bond connections. I did Krabbé first. But you know, it’s very hard to find actresses with roles other than “wife of” or “mother of” or “prostitute,” and Bond women are formidable.
