starliteyes Posted July 15, 2015 This actor and actress were very self-conscious regarding their large hands. To disguise his large hands, the actor would curl his middle two fingers while doing something for which he was famous. The actress used gloves as one of her favorite cover-ups and owned over 150 pairs. Who were they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted July 17, 2015 Okay, the actor would curl his middle two fingers to disguise their size while he was dancing. The actress won an Oscar for one of the most famous movies of the 1930's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LiamCasey Posted July 21, 2015 Are you thinking of Pat and Jerry Brown? Although, based upon the movie reference, my original assumption was that the father should be a governor and the son should be a senator which doesn't hold with this real-life pairing.

Doesn't have to be that exact. Father and son in top positions in the state. Your turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiamCasey Posted July 22, 2015 So I overthought this one, DGF? Wouldn't be the first time, my friend! Next: This character appears in six novels by its creator but does not appear in a movie based upon one of those novels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiamCasey Posted July 23, 2015 Hint: Although missing from this one particular movie, this character did appear in nine other movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted July 24, 2015 Liam, this is a fascinating question, and it's driving me crazy. I feel I should know this. How about another hint? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted July 24, 2015 So I overthought this one, DGF? Wouldn't be the first time, my friend! Next: This character appears in six novels by its creator but does not appear in a movie based upon one of those novels. Not sure about this but I'll take a guess with the Felix Leiter character in the Bond novels and films. He doesn't appear in the film The Man with the Golden Gun but his character pretty sure is in the novel ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiamCasey Posted July 25, 2015 Sorry for the delay. Real life taking precedence over reel life. This character is not Felix Leiter as this character is the main character in those nine other movies. But definitely a nice guess, lavender. Hint: In the first eight of those movies, this character was portrayed by a Hungarian immigrant. In the ninth movie, this character was portrayed by an American with Sicilian and Spanish ancestry. This character is none of those nationalities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks Liam. Then let's try Peter Lorre as Mr. Moto. Stopover Tokoyo maybe the film without Mr. Moto ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lavenderblue19 Posted July 26, 2015 Thanks Liam, good, thoughtful question Two actors were cousins. One was offered a role but turned it down, the other cousin was offered the role, played the role and won the Oscar for it. Two cousins, the role and film ????

MilesArcher Posted July 26, 2015 Edmund Gwenn was the cousin of Cecil Kellaway. Kellaway turned down the role of Kris Kringle in "Miracle On 34th Street". Gwenn got the part and won a supporting actor Oscar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
