Name the actor and his step-mother. This would be Brian Keith and his stepmother Peg Entwhistle. Keith's own daughter, Daisy, committed suicide a few weeks before her father did. Cheers, Dan

Are you... Peter Sellers? No, Sellers was born in England. I was born in the Midwest U.S. and died in Hollywood. Here's the rest of the question, so far: In a 28-year film career, I portrayed many different roles: A detective, a baron, an interior decorator, even a head of state. Ironically, to modern film fans I am best known for a role for which I was uncredited, and which lasted for only one scene, just four (4) minutes long. In that scene, I was accompanied by two icons of the silver screen. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

Do you know me? In a 28-year film career, I portrayed many different roles: A detective, a baron, an interior decorator, even a head of state. Ironically, to modern film fans I am best known for a role for which I was uncredited, and which lasted for only one scene, just four (4) minutes long. In that scene, I was accompanied by two icons of the silver screen. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

I was born in Brooklyn in 1915. I'm a winner of 3 Tony awards as best actor. I'm guessing you are: Zero Mostel. Cheers, Dan

Of COURSE I would give the answer, as I always do when people have made several tries to answer. But in this case, there were NO replies! Check it out. Why should I show "consideration" to all those folks who simply IGNORED the question? Sorry if that sounds arrogant. You know me, and you know I can be most gracious when earnest replies to my questions are posted here, right or wrong. But not when my questions go ignored. Cheers, Dan

Okay, I'm pulling the plug. No one was interested in replying to my question about the guy who worked nights, so I hereby declare the question CLOSED. But this thread is open to whoever wants it. Cheers, Dan

Are you... Monica Bellucci? Welcome back yourself, pastman... because Monica Bellucci is CORRECT!!! I was wondering how long it would take someone to find this. She played a saint (St. Mary Magdalen) but is also known as a sex symbol (once ranked in the Top Ten of Maxim's 50 Sexiest Women). And although she is fluent in three languages (IMDb says four, Google says three, so I went with the conservative pick), she appeared in a film in which she said all her lines in a language she doesn't know: Aramaic, in "The Passion of the Christ" (2004). You're up, pastman. Cheers, Dan

Hi visual and pastman: Sorry I haven't replied to your guesses. I was out of town for two days. Just got back. No, I'm neither Milla Jovovich nor Catherine Zeta-Jones. And vis, I know you were kidding with your question about Mickey Rooney. I have already told you I am female. I also said I once posed for a calendar in the nude. Don't think the Mick would have done that. Here is the question again, with a new clue added: I am an actress who once played a saint in a film, but who is nevertheless considered a sex symbol. My husband is a well-known actor as well. I am fluent in three languages, but in one film I had to speak all my lines in a language in which I am NOT fluent. In addition to my film work, I am also a model. I once appeared in the nude in a calendar. I was once voted the Most Beautiful Woman in the World, on an international TV show. I mentioned that my husband is a well-known actor. He and I have appeared together in nine (9) different films. And here is your new clue: I've said I am married to an actor. We've been happily married for eight (8) years, but because of our film work, we each have a residence in a different country. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

Okay, I think this one's starting to get away from us again. No replies in the past two days. That can't be good. Okay, here's the question again: Who was it that, when asked for his Social Security Number, answered: "Five." The question is asked by an actress who has won the Academy Award. The other person in the scene is played by an Oscar-nominated actor. The film is relatively new. It was produced in the 21st century. Name the speakers and the title of the film. Cheers, Dan

I'm sorry, I may be an idiot, but are you saying this person is still alive? You certainly are NOT an idiot. No, ILRM, that is a perfectly valid question. In these "Do You Know Me?" questions, it seems to be the norm that the person's clues are stated as if they (he or she) are still alive. After you do the research and the correct answer comes up, they may or may not still be with us. In this case, however... here we go: I am STILL ALIVE. (At least I was, the last time my friend Dan checked my bio on the IMDb.) Now then. Here is the question, again: I am an actress who once played a saint in a film, but who is nevertheless considered a sex symbol. My husband is a well-known actor as well. I am fluent in three languages, but in one film I had to speak all my lines in a language in which I am NOT fluent. In addition to my film work, I am also a model. I once appeared in the nude in a calendar. I was once voted the Most Beautiful Woman in the World, on an international TV show. I mentioned that my husband is a well-known actor. He and I have appeared together in nine (9) different films. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

Here's an additional clue: I was once voted the Most Beautiful Woman in the World, on an international TV show. The rest of the question: I am an actress who once played a saint in a film, but who is nevertheless considered a sex symbol. My husband is a well-known actor as well. I am fluent in three languages, but in one film I had to speak all my lines in a language in which I am NOT fluent. New clue: In addition to my film work, I am also a model. I once appeared in the nude in a calendar. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

Sounds like Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year No, sorry. Not Peter O'Toole. Thanks for submitting an answer. I was starting to wonder if there was anybody out there any more. Here is the question again, with an additional clue: Who was it that, when asked for his Social Security Number, answered: "Five." The question is asked by an actress who has won the Academy Award. The other person in the scene is played by an Oscar-nominated actor. The film is relatively new. It was produced in the 21st century. Name the speakers and the title of the film. Cheers, Dan

sorry cmvgor, not the answer I'm looking for. 'Scuse me for butting in, Odessa, but aren't you supposed to give an additional clue, after each wrong answer? I thought it was part of the etiquette of the game. Cheers, Dan

How about another clue? Sure. Let's review the clues so far: I am an actress who once played a saint in a film, but who is nevertheless considered a sex symbol. My husband is a well-known actor as well. I am fluent in three languages, but in one film I had to speak all my lines in a language in which I am NOT fluent. New clue: In addition to my film work, I am also a model. I once appeared in the nude in a calendar. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

dan, any more clues, answer, or is thread open? Sixes, I thank you for your response. True, you didn't submit a guess as to the answer; but at least you responded to my question. It's been up for ten (10) days, and I was seriously thinking of pulling the plug. More clues? Sure. This line is spoken by an Oscar-winning actress. She did win the Academy Award, but not for this film. Here, she is speaking to an actress who plays her daughter. Here is the line again: "He said he didn't have all day and he worked nights." Who said that line, and to whom? Cheers, Dan

visualfeast wrote: Caroll Baker? At last! Somebody friggin' ANSWERED! visualfeast, I am not Carroll Baker. It's true she once played Saint Veronica, but she is a widow, i.e., not married; therefore she does not have an actor husband. But I thank you for at least submitting an answer to Dan's little Trivia question. A rare occurrence these days. Here is another clue to my identity: I speak three languages fluently. However, in one film I was required to speak all my lines in a language in which I am NOT fluent. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

Hi ILoveRayMilland, Do you have a person for us to guess yet? It's been two weeks, and we haven't yet heard from ILoveRay, so maybe he/she is on vacation. So, if it's okay with you guys, let me float a question of the "Do You Know Me?" persuasion. I am an actress who once played a saint in a film, but who is nevertheless considered a sex symbol. My husband is a well-known actor as well. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

Hi... I'm bumping this question again. If you guys don't answer me this time, I'll just call it quits. Here's an additional clue: The question is asked by an actress who has won the Academy Award. The other person in the scene is played by an Oscar-nominated actor. Who was it that, when asked for their Social Security Number, answered: "Five." Name the person and the title of the film. Cheers, Dan

Hi... I'm bumping this question again, this time with a new clue. The clue: This line is spoken by an Oscar-winning actress. She did win the Academy Award, but not for this film. In what film is the following a key line? "He said he didn't have all day and he worked nights." Hint: I cannot locate it on the IMDb quotes or on Google, so this might be a pretty good question. Name the film, the speaker of the quote, and what it means. Cheers, Dan

Hi again. I'm bumping this question, 'cause it's a good one. Too good to let it die on the vine. In what film is the following a key line? "He said he didn't have all day and he worked nights." Hint: I cannot locate it on the IMDb quotes or on Google, so this might be a pretty good question. Name the film, the speaker of the quote, and what it means. Cheers, Dan

The Jimmy Carter line -- no idea. The Social Security line -- just a guess: George Burns in 18 AGAIN! The Jimmy Carter line was spoken by Jim Carrey, as comedian Andy Kaufman, in "Man on the Moon" (1999). As for the line about the Social Security number, that one is more recent. Twenty-first century recent. Which may be one of the reasons the line is so funny. I mean, in America, Social Security has been around since 1935. So why would a modern person's number be 5? Cheers, Dan

Don't like that one? Okay, try this: Who was it that, when was asked for their Social Security Number, answered: "Five." Name the person and the title of the film. Cheers, Dan

I believe the answer is My Sister Eileen a film made in 1942. You've got it Molo! Take your place at the head of the class. Cheers, Dan

Name the movie whose genesis was a series of short stories, and which then became a stage play, then a 1942 movie, then a Broadway musical, and later a big-screen musical. There may be more than one film that fits that description, but the movie I'm asking about is distinguished by the fact that the director of the big-screen musical played a supporting role in the 1942 movie. Name the film. Cheers, Dan
