Hi John good to see you hope you are keeping well? I got my films mixed up completely Touch of Class and Sunday Bloody Sunday doh!!!. Anyway this is what I have as answers to your questions 1. Cancer (stomach and lungs) did you ever read about the film 'The Conqueor' Susan Hayward and Dick Powell also died of Cancer and there was talk there was other members of the film dying from the dust from atomic bomb tests in Utah. very interesting stuff. 2. Cancer of the Throat 3. Cancer lung ? 4 Julie Andrews 5. some famous costume from someone famous she played ? 6. I remember reading Jack Lemmon book he was born in a lift and always wondered was it going up or down lol. more than likely it was going up :-) 7. Massive Heart Attack 8. Scarlett O'Hara ? 9. Lauren Bacall 10. ? 11. Paul Newman 12. John Forsyth (Spelling) Pat x

11 out of 12 - well done Pat! Daniel Massey was Noel Coward's godson and played him in Star, he appeared with his father in 'The Queen's Guards' (1960) and his sister in 'Vault of Horror' (1973) . Gertrude Lawrence was buried in the pink satin hooped ballgown that she sang 'Shall We Dance?' in from the Broadway production of THE KING AND I. Apparently Bette Davis wanted to play Scarlett which went to Vivien Leigh. Jason Robards died from metastasized lung cancer As far as Jack Lemmon's birth - the lift may have been going up to maternity.

LOL. Thanks for those John that was a bit of fun. Imagine Gertrude lawrence being buried in that contraption ridiculous really. I couldn't figure those connections on question 10 at all. I shall go and try and find a few questions for you now. Pat x

Quotes - Like this one from Mary Poppins - “Goodbye, Mary Poppins. Don't stay away too long.” said by Bill Now get thinking on these - some a really easy like the first one. 1. “It’s a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done. It’s a far, far better rest I go to than I have ever known.” the final words of a which character, book and film? 2. “This is good for cracking nuts. Isn't it?” said by a character from which famous book and film 3. “Eliza? Where the devil are my slippers?” 4. “Tonya, can you play the balalaika?” “Can she play? She's an artist!” “Ah, then it's a gift.” 5. “Where ya headed, cowboy?” “Nowhere special.” “Nowhere special. I always wanted to go there.” “Come on.” 6. “This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.” 7. “Kevin, what did you do to my room?” 8. 'I'll get him back, after all tomorrow is another day.!'

Hiya John Just popped in and see you've been busy I have a set of questions for you just need to put them into order. Sorry I was lazy today :-( This is what I have for your quotes questions:- Hopefully be here at the same time soon. 1. Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Dirk Bogarde in the film 2. ? not something to do with the Oscar lol 'A Star Is Born' or something like that? 3. My Fair Lady 4. Dr Zhivago 5. Blazing Saddles 6. Alien 7. ? 8. Gone With the Wind Pat x

Still needing 2 & 7 2. “This is good for cracking nuts. Isn't it?” said by a character from which famous book and film - extra clue Mark Twain wrote the book. 7. “Kevin, what did you do to my room?” another clue a kid and villians don't mix.

Hiya John, good to see you. Hope you and the family are well and enjoying your Summer time over there. I think number 7 must be from Home Alone? Christine

That would so right, Christine. 2. “This is good for cracking nuts. Isn't it?” said by a character from which famous book and film. Extra clues Mark Twain wrote the book! Real people mixed with fictitious people in Tudor times. Look-a-like boys. The father had many wives. The next clue if needed will virtually give it to you, I think.

Hi John....got to be The Prince and the Pauper hasn't it? Funny Home Alone being tha last answer...it was on TV tonight ....again! Christine

For John in NZ Hi John, I am sorry to be so slow but at last got myself sorted I have these few to start you off, I have a few questions on some Hitchcock films for you after these if you fancy them that is? I can’t remember if you are a Hitch fan like me. These are multiple choice which Actor starred in each of the following 1. The Front Page - Air Mail - Angels with Dirty Faces Pat O'Brien, James Cagney, Ralph Bellamy or Frank McHugh 2. Shop Around the Corner - Born to Dance - Winchester '73 Robert Mitchum, James Stewart, Eleanor Powell or Ann Miller 3. Boom Town - Cain and Mabel - It Happened One Night Spencer Tracy, claudette Colbert, Clark Gable or Peter Sellers 4. The Big Broadcast of 1938 - The Lemon Drop Kid - Beau James W. C. Fields, Alexis Smith, Bob Hope or Paul Douglas 5. The Dark Angel - The Little Foxes - Forreign Correspondent Fredric March, Herbert Marshall, Bing Crosby or George Raft 6. How Green Was My Valley - Knute Rockne, All American - Spencer's Mountain Donald Crisp, Paul Muni, Barry Fitzgerald or Peter Falk OK thats it for now John will do Hitchcock & maybe open it up for the others to have a go if they fancy it as well. Good luck :-) Pat x

Right you are Christine for 'The Prince and the Pauper' each film version has that line in it. And that line from Home Alone was one of the films closing lines. Crikey Pat - never seen any of those films a bit before my time, looks like its Google or Ask Jeeves time for these.

Now John, I'm just a slip of a girl (well youngish) and I know some of the answers, so they're not that ancient.LOL Christine
