100% correct. In "Popeye" she played the mother of the gigantic wrestler.
I saw all of those movies, but had forgotten about her role in Popeye. Saloon owner gave it to me. I loved her in Silverado.
Here's one:
Schoolteacher
Comic strip/TV character
TV news reporter
Restaurant owner
Michelle Pfeiffer?
Schoolteacher - Dangerous Minds
Comic strip/TV character - Catwoman in Batman Returns
TV news reporter - Up Close & Personal
Restaurant owner - Tijuana Sunrise
Oh, I loved Silverado!! I'm so sorry it never got the audience it needed for the sequel. But baby Kevin Costner and young Danny Glover and that killer cast, plus that wonderful take on the old western movie, ahh, it was big fun!
Oh, and Harris? naah. Burton all the way!
Sorry about the game Aggie, I was really pulling for the Steelers! You and Mr. Bettis being the chief reasons!
And I finally saw the Candide everyone was mentioning pages back. It was pretty hilarious! A lot you can do with a narrators and a staged production--I should say THEY did a lot with narrators and a staged production. I love when they gave Candide the West Side Story LP to take along!
Hmmm, lemme think of these clues...uh, oh! WORK!
Hi y'all.
You got it Mac. Michelle Pfeiffer and all the right movies.
Yes, Loislane, it was a saaaad game.
Real-life convict
Vietnam vet
FBI agent
WWII pilot
Wrestler
I'll guess Matthew Modine.
Real-life convict - Mrs. Soffel
Vietnam vet - Birdy
FBI Agent - Married to the Mob
WWII Pilot - Memphis Belle
Wrestler - Vision Quest
Pirate
Dog Trainer
TV News Reporter
Baseball Player
Geena Davis
Pirate - Cutthroat Island (tie-in to Matthew Modine)
Dog Trainer - The Accidental Tourist
TV News Reporter - Hero
Baseball Player - A League of Their Own
Yes to Geena and her movies.
It was the dog trainer that was the giveaway.
New one:
Professor (three times, same role each time)
Real-life political leader
Fictional musician
Fictional colonel
Alan Rickman
Professor - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; and the Chamber of Secrets; and the Sorcerer's Stone
Real-life political leader - Michael Collins
Musician - Truly, Madly, Deeply (I liked that little movie)
Colonel - Sense and Sensibility
Yes to Alan Rickman and all the movies. I liked Truly, Madly, Deeply too.
Law student
Medical student
Teacher (college)
Fictional movie star
Julia Roberts
Law student - The Pelican Brief
Medical student - Flatliners
Teacher (college) - Mona Lisa Smile
Fictional movie star - America's Sweethearts
Yes to Julia Roberts and the movies. I thought "real-life Assistant/office clerk to attorney" would make it too easy, but I was tempted. (lol)
Now, if you had thought of saying "headmaster of school for wizards" when the actor you had in mind was Richard Harris, that would have been helpful!
Back in a bit with a new question.
