{font:Times New Roman}Do you know this actress?
{font}{font:Times New Roman}
One day in 1954, this young actress’ family's maid asked to take the actress’ Oscar and two other awards home with her to polish, as she had done in the past. After three days, the maid failed to return to work, prompting the mother to discharge her, and asking for her daughter’s awards. Shortly thereafter, the mother, who had been sick with a heart condition, suffered a relapse and died. In mourning, the actress forgot about the maid and the Oscar until several months later when she tried to contact her, only to find that the maid had moved and had left no forwarding address.

Several years later, upon learning that the original had been stolen, the Academy promptly supplied her with a replacement Oscar, but she still held onto hope that she might one day recover her original Award. In the years that followed, she attended memorabilia shows and searched antique shops, hoping she might find the original statuette, until one day in 1995 when an executive of the Academy was alerted that a miniature statuette bearing her name had surfaced in a catalogue for an upcoming memorabilia auction. He contacted a mutual friend of his and hers, who in turn phoned to tell her the long-lost Oscar had been found.
T{font}{font:Times New Roman}wo memorabilia collectors were attending a flea market in 1995 when one of them spotted a small Oscar with the actress’ name inscribed upon it. The two men decided to split the $500 asking price hoping to resell it at a profit and lent it to a photographer to shoot for an upcoming auction catalogue. This led to the Academy’s discovery that the statuette had resurfaced and, upon learning of the award's history, the two collectors agreed to return the Oscar to her. On February 7, 1995, almost fifty years after she'd first received it, the Academy held a special ceremony in Beverly Hills to return the stolen award to her. Upon being reunited with her Oscar, she told the attending journalists:
{font}
{font:Times New Roman}“For all those people who have lost or misplaced something that was dear to them, as I have, never give up the dream of searching – never let go of the hope that you’ll find it because after all these many years, at last, my Oscar has been returned to me.”{font}

Correct. Your turn.

This five-time Tony winner made her screen debut at the age of 27 in this film, the same year she won her first Tony. Name the actress and her first film.

Great job! Sorry I held this up. Your turn.

*This* actress won her Supporting Actress Oscar for appearing in only about 20 minutes of *this* film, if that much, in which her character loans money to her son, who hardly knew her at all and despite this, they seem to understand each other very well.
-
This leading actress said she and her costar had no chemistry and that that was one of the reasons this movie flopped, despite the fact they were playing man and wife in this 1948 comedy-drama. Name the film, the actress and the actor, who is an Oscar winner.

Sorry for the holdup. The old man's doctor dies after the old man has had a stroke.

2. *They Won't Forget* (finance) My girlfriend is dead and I didn't do it.
3. *Don't Bother to Knock* (hibi) All I do, all day, every day, is go up and down, up and down.
