Glad you mentioned the Dionne quints. Everyone else had sort of overlooked them. They made a few other films at Fox, but I've only seen FIVE OF A KIND.

How about "Rosemary's Baby" even though a no-show until the very end.

 

And for a good portion of "The Omen".

Yeah-- sounds like a sub-category almost-- babies in horror films. Which reminds me of a 70s horror flick called THE BABY with Anjanette Comer and Ruth Roman.

Since no one else has mentioned CALIFORNIA:

 

Shirley Temple

Farley Granger

Tom Hanks

Clint Eastwood

Marilyn Monroe

Bill Mumy

Russ Tamblyn

 

...to name a few

I figured we do a separate one later on western states. But you're fine...it's good to see California represented. :)

I've always considered California in the Southwest myself--can't get more southern or western than SoCal

Some people consider Alaska part of the west. And I've seen Texas referred to as the south and as the southwest. For our purposes, we will have covered all 50 states, even if the regions seem vaguely defined.

1982 - Annie

1982 - Victor/Victoria

1983 - Yentl

1986 - The Little Shop of Horrors

1991 - Stepping Out (what I would call a fringe musical)

I always forget YENTL is a musical. STEPPING OUT has aired on TCM a few times. Another one from the early 90s is the box office flop SHOUT, starring John Travolta. I love the poster art, though:
