These are great questions… I’m probably not going to be able to figure any of them out first, but definitely, nice and juicy.
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.
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.
2 is Antonio Banderas, I think.
#6 is Jim Carrey
Is #7 Sissy Spacek?
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.
I think #3 is Dianne Wiest.
#5 is Dame Judi Dench (84 Charing Cross Road, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Iris, respectively)
