Your thread, Swithin.

WAG that worked out just because I recently looked up some material on Mr. De Wilde.
From sundown to sunup.

Thanks, Dothery. BTW, re clues: You gave it away when you named the list he was on and his position on it. Less definite info likely would have let the question last longer. Most around her get that definite after a question has lasted for a while, and it's time to let it go. Now I'll try to adhere to that principle with my own question:
I won't start with the usual question, because almost nobody knows me, and the people who claim to know something about me make wildly different assertions. I have the kind of anonymity that J. D. Salanger wishes he had achieved. The name under which I published some novels, short stories and reportage is not the name I was born with, and there are disputes about the name and the place on those two points. It's generally agreed that my birthplace is in Europe. I moved to a "New World" country, and made my base there. Where my name appears in a film context it is in a "based on a novel by" mode.
Who am I?

Thanks, Edythe. I don't adapt easily to the way info is processed for this thread.
Open thread.

This actress campaigned vigorously to play a costumed heroine in one of the big ripped-from-the-comic-books-franchises. Would dress up in a costume she had devised herself, and would ambush the star or the director that was working on that movie series at that time. Didn't get the role.

Caroll O'Conner ??

Correct, Dothery. This submission was an impulse post as a side issue on trying to track down a copy of the film. Doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

Not Madeline. The satire mentioned earlier involved three different women interacting with the hero. They all, when first introduced, emerged from bathrooms, walking with toilet tissue trailing from their shoes.

...similar variation on that theme:
A convicted Colonial rebel has been sentenced to hang for treason. He requests the honor of a firing squad instead. The result:
"Have you any idea of the marksmanship of the average soldier of King George? Half of them would miss you completely. The other half would botch the job and leave you to the mercy of the Provo Marshal's pistol. On the other hand we can hang you in a perfectly workmanlike manner. Please, Mr. Anderson, won't you let me pursuade you to be hanged?"

From Burgess Meredith as "Mickey" in the first film of the *Rocky* franchise. Mickey was in the course of giving his qualifications to be Stallone's trainer, if Rocky had the good sense to learn from him. Down in 49 Views.

Uh, the plot of this film revolves around the sport of boxing.

Not la Stanwick. This lady's career came alive in the early 1980s. Her blonde role was in a satire.

Not Ms. Leigh. American born.

Thanks, Edythe. Next up:
"I done it all. I've done and seen it all. Believe what I'm tellin ya. You shoulda seen the night in Brooklyn, I smacked 'Ginny' Russo outa the ring. September 14, 1923. -- Same night Firpo knocked Dempsey outta the ring. But who got the Press? He did. He had a manager. September 14, 1923."

Thanks, Sixes. Next up: Brunette actress donned a wig for one of her roles. Afterward, she said:
"Being a blonde makes you very ruthless, insane and self-centered."

Okay, next up, a brief exchange.
