Name that Actor/Actress (or Role)
GeorgeStGeorge replied to Raf's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
I didn't watch Taxi, but the Latka role was well-known. I'm not sure I'd consider Kaufman "more famous" than Jack Black, though. George -
Seems vaguely familiar, but I'm just not getting it. George

Hey, I got away with Traxx! (But only because the regulars know I'm a fan of that obscure film and the picture showed Shadoe Stevens...) George -
The movie titles are familiar, but I don't think I've seen any of them. Even if the actor were well-known, then, I probably wouldn't be able to guess it from these films. Should you reveal the name, I might recognize the actor. George

Indeed. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis ("Stony Curtis" to Flintstones fans) had previously co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like It Hot." In this movie, they co-star with Natalie Wood. Rival daredevils, "The Great Leslie" (Curtis) and "Professor Fate" (Lemmon) compete in an auto race from New York to Paris. (Yes, they go over water, riding an ice floe across the Bering Strait.) Newspaper woman Maggie Dubois (Wood) enters as well, but connives a ride with Leslie when her Stanley Steamer craters. Lemmon also played Prince Frederick of Pottsdorf (and Fate, disguised as Frederick). The "Wacky Races" characters "Peter Perfect," "Dick Dastardly," and "Penelope Pitstop" were based on Leslie, Fate, and Dubois. George

No. I looked up Flintstones and his name. The Flintstones spoofed a number of actors and actresses. "Ann-Margrock" comes to mind. I didn't remember this one. George

Mr. and Mrs. Smith? George

He was. I looked it up. George

This 1960's movie begins with an Overture (a still saying "Overture" is shown while the music plays) followed by the cast list, then a dedication to "Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy." Halfway through the movie is an Intermission, including a musical "Entr'acte" (with appropriate still). The two male stars had previously starred in a comedy, playing co-workers, of a sort. In this film, also a comedy, they play rivals. Each film also had a (different) female star. A Saturday morning cartoon was inspired by this movie. One of the male stars plays two roles. One character impersonates the other, briefly. Although dedicated to Laurel and Hardy, the pie fight near the end was classic Stooges. George

The star of this show won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar before this show appeared (though not before she first played this character -- yes, it's a spin-off). The backstory of the spinoff is that the character's oft-mentioned but never seen husband dies, so she moved in with her mother-in-law to start a new life. (?) George

I actually did see it when it came out. Wasn't it the first PG-13 Disney film? George -

I don't know. Pairing actors with roles or actors with movies seems different enough to me. They just seem the same when it gets to the point that "external" clues have to be given. Then they both become "Movie Mash-Up." George
