ORSON WELLES appeared in the documentary Brother Can You Spare a Dime with
CAB CALLOWAY who was in The Blues Brothers which soundtrack featured
THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA playing Ride of the Valkyries
WOOOOOOOOW!
How did you do that so fast and so interestingly????? Did you know or research??
Mine was:
ORSON WELLES was married to
RITA HAYWORTH who was in
PAL JOEY with
FRANK SINATRA who was married to
MIA FARROW who was married to
ANDRE PREVIN former conductor of
THE PITTSBURGH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
I like yours much better.
I looked up the orchestra on IMDb's soundtrack listings. Cab Calloway to Orson Welles was just a lucky first try.
RICHARD GERE to BARBRA STREISAND
I forgot about Andre Previn, or I'd have definitely gone that route.
RICHARD GERE to BARBRA STREISAND
RICHARD GERE was married to
CINDY CRAWFORD who
(and this is a quote from vogue.com) "... dethroned ELLE MACPHERSON as the world's best paid poser in the new millennium. In September 2000, US magazine BusinessAge estimated that she had made over £23 million in her time."
ELLE MAC PHERSON was in
THE MIRROR HAD TWO FACES directed by
BARBRA STREISAND
I had:
RICHARD GERE was in Unfaithful with
DIANE LANE who is dating? engaged to?
JOSH BROLIN whose stepmother is
BARBRA STREISAND
Groucho Marx to Whoopi Goldburg
Welcome to the Game Laz. The last person solving the link gives the next clue, but
We are glad to have new players so I pass to Lazarus!:
GROUCHO MARX to WOOPIE GOLDBERG
Go for it!
Then lazerus, when the solution is posted you come back and give your solution and then the game continues.
Whoops, sorry. My cat typed that in while I was away from the computer.. *grins sheepishly*
Give me a while.. These are tough.
You should probably have the links solved before you give the puzzle. If you don't have a solution for this one, it's OK
if you want to change it this time!

The hard work is done by the guesser, really.
It's interesting to see how different players come to the same end.
Hmm. Sorry. Okay, here's a new one.
Gerald Ford to Ascanio Sobrero
I just solved Woopie/Marx but let's do yours and I'll use woopie/marx next. So it's:
Gerald Ford to Ascanio Sobrero
Hmm. Very interesting.....!
Okay, I have answers for both of them. What do you have?
Okay, cue the Twilight Zone Music
GERALD FORD to ASCANIO SOBRERO
I'm going to do this backwards for clarity.
In 1847,
ANTHONY SOBRERO an Italian chemist discovered
NITROGLYCERINE, which was modified and turned into dynamite by
ALFRED NOBEL. (Who recognized Sobrero as the true discoverer)
Now, we enter the Zone:
On November 27, 1867, Alfred Nobel demonstrated dynamite for the first time, at Merstham.
On November 27, 1913, Gerald Ford was born in Omaha, Nebraska.
And,
On July 14, 1895 Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize.
On July 14, 1973 the United States Senate confirmed Gerald Ford as Vice President.
Ooohh! Good! This was mine:
In 1976 GERALD FORD lost the presidency to
JIMMY CARTER, who in 2002 won the
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, set up and funded by
ALFRED NOBEL, who created dynamite from
NITROGLYCERINE, which was developed by
ASCANIO SOBRERO.
Now, Groucho Marx to Whoopi Goldberg.
GROUCHO MARX starred in Love Happy (1950) with
MARILYN MONROE, who was romantically involved with
JFK, who was a client of
JUNGLE ROSES. (a flower company owned by Rodney Dangerfield's wife, Joan) JUNGLE ROSES also sent flowers to
WHOOPIE GOLDBERG!
