Edythevanhopper Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Sorry Finance...I thought you liked this thread. So never mind. The 4 films listed were made following GWTW in 1940 by Gable, DeHavilland, Leigh and Howard. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Edy that was one of the better what do they have in common? questions. I'm tied up with other things right now, so I haven't been posting much. Good work. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Which one was Leslie Howard in? Link to post Share on other sites
Edythevanhopper Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well folks, I'm ashamed of myself. Good question Miles....truth is I had meant Hattie McDaniel in the hint not Leslie Howard. Answer is Hattie McDaniel was in Maryland in 1940, Leigh in Waterloo Bridge, Gable in Comrade X and DeHavillland in Santa Fe Trail. I must need a vacation or something, Do you want the thread? if not... I'll be back. Edited by: Edythevanhopper on Jan 29, 2012 12:02 PM Link to post Share on other sites

MilesArcher Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Here's one that shouldn't be too difficult. What do these films have in common? *Anne Of Green Gables* - 1934 *The Gay Sisters* - 1942 *The Caine Mutiny* - 1954 *Battle Cry* - 1955 Link to post Share on other sites

MilesArcher Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sorry, not the answer I was looking for. Look at the casts of each film. One cast member of each film, who is fairly early in his or her career, did something that is a little unique. Obviously, it wasn't really unheard of, because four different people did it.

MilesArcher Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You got it, Mr. sixes. Anne Shirley had been a child actress using the name Dawn O'Day. She took the name of her character in "Anne Of Green Gables" as her professional name for the rest of her career. Gig Young did the same with his character in "The Gay Sisters". His real name was Byron Barr, but there was already a character actor with that name, so he went with Gig Young for the rest of his career. In "The Caine Mutiny", a young actress named Donna Lee Hickey played the part of May Wynn, the fiance of Ensign Willie Keith. It marked a turning point in her acting career, so she took the name of her character. "Battle Cry" was the first movie for the actor who portrayed a character named L.Q. Jones. He liked the name and adopted it as his professional name. I kind of liked his original name, Justus McQueen. Your turn now, sixes. Link to post Share on other sites

allaboutlana Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yes, that is one of them, but look at the casts. (Hint: They were made a year after another movie that people were really talking about, I would think.) Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Each film had a cast member who had been in PEYTON PLACE the prior year? Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 And, each one was nominated for their performance. I was mainly looking for your answer, so it's up to you to take it or give it to Edyth. Thanks to you both for playing. Link to post Share on other sites
