Kid Dabb Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 It's ironic that this actor won an Oscar for impersonating the original actor when the original actor himself never came within a mile of one, but that's just the latest of many sad ironies surrounding the original actor's career. Which actor won the Oscar? Who is the original actor he was portraying? What film was he portraying him in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyphils31 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Sorry it took so long, folks. I just got off work. Here goes: The legendary grapefruit scene in "The Public Enemy" was based on a real event, believe it or not. What well known gangster actually did this ignominious act? Bonus: what food was used in the actual event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyphils31 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 No, not Johnny. He was a swimmer, and a gold medalist too. This one you would not normally associate with athletics in any way.
