This is a well-known actress. It's just that her roles don't have great name recognition. Claire Standish Betsy Hopper Mary Andrews Melissa Nelson Anne Juergens Paige Wayney Randy Jensen Carrie Donovan Ann Winslow George

Two answers are correct for this clue: George Newbern Phil Lamarr Carl Lumbly Maria Canals-Barrera George

Grace, I think that WW was gently trying to suggest that this is not a general trivia thread. Each of the game threads has a particular theme. The "Name that..." threads involve giving movie lines, song lyrics, or, in this case, quotes from books. The person who (first) responds with the correct answer gets to give the next clue. If no one gets the answer, the clue-giver may supply more lines, lyrics, or quotes, until the answer is given. (Or, occasionally, no one gets it. Then the clue-giver may reveal the answer and go again, or offer a "Free Post," where anyone may start as clue-giver.} There are a few things considered faux pas in these threads: Jumping in out of turn. You may have a song lyric that you REALLY want to give as a clue. Still, you have to wait until either you correctly guess the current clue or until a "Free Post" is given. Googling the answer. This is not a test of your internet search skills. Exception: if no answer or further clues are given after a few days, you may google the answer to keep the thread moving. This is particularly true of "Triple Movie Links" game. Still, it's preferable to hit the clue-giver up for more clues, first. Answering the clue, but being unwilling to give clues of your own. It's fine to decree "Free Post" occasionally. We have, in the past, however, had players who would repeatedly answer others' clues but refuse to post any of their own. It is usually good to wait for acknowledgment from the clue-giver that your answer is correct, but it is not essential. This is especially true of Triple Movie Links," where no one waits for acknowledgment. In general, if you're wrong, someone will let you know pretty quickly. You might want to take a look at the "How to Play the Game Threads" thread, pinned to the beginning of the forum. Perhaps you'd like to start a thread of your own. You can make the rules as you see fit. If you don't know how to start a thread, I'm sure that Raf would be happy to set one up for you. George

Still not getting it. Sorry. George

GVC, Instead of going back through all of the previous posts, how about YOU giving one? Pick an author you think will be relatively familiar, and quote a passage or two from one of his/her books. In the other threads (Name that Flick, etc.) we often start with less obvious clues and add easier ones until the puzzle is solved. In this case, I would start with something relatively easy. It doesn't have to be VERY easy; as Raf posted, a quote that names Sherlock Holmes (or Watson, for that matter) would pretty much give it up as Arthur Conan Doyle. On the other hand, something from a famous Holmes story (e.g., "The Seven Percent Solution") could work. Care to give it a try? George

Sounds VAGUELY familiar, but I still can't place it. There can't be TOO many flicks with a character named Lillian. George

"The Blues Brothers"? George

It is, indeed. The response to Bond's "This is my second life" was, "You only live twice, Mr. Bond." You're up! George PS Lazenby wasn't a great Bond, but "Her Majesty's Secret Service" was a good film.

No, not Thunderball, either. "James Bond. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ernst Stavro Blofeld. They told me you were assassinated in Hong Kong." "Yes, this is my second life." "You will see that my piranha fish get very hungry. They can strip a man to the bone in 30 seconds. I have decided to ask for a little money in advance. I want the sum of 100 million dollars in gold bullion deposited in our account in Buenos Aires." "Our agreement states quite clearly that no money should be paid until war has broken out between Russia and the United States." "This is extortion!" "Extortion is my business. Go and think it over, gentlemen. I'm busy." "Why do Chinese girls taste different from all other girls?" "You think we better, huh?" "No, just different. Like Peking Duck is different from Russian Caviar. But I love them both." "Darling, I give you very best duck." "You know what it is about you that fascinates them, don't you? It's the hair on your chest. Japanese men all have beautiful bare skin." "Japanese proverb say, "Bird never make nest in bare tree."" "The firing power inside my crater is enough to annihilate a small army. You can watch it all on TV. It's the last program you're likely to see." "Well, if I'm gonna be forced to watch television, may I smoke?" "Yes. Give him his cigarettes. It won't be the nicotine that kills you." "Permit me to introduce myself. I am Tanaka. Please call me Tiger." "If you're Tanaka, then how do you feel about me?" "I... love you." "Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way." George

Correct. George

I don't know how many threads may be awaiting a response from me, but I'm going on vacation for a week. Feel free to "play through." George

I hate to do this, but I'm going to open this up as a free post. I'll be on vacation for a week, with limited internet access. George

Well, it's Brando in "Apocalypse Now." He was the highest-ranking soldier, so I'd guess general, maybe colonel. George

Again, know the movie, know the actor, don't know the character. :-) George
