Yes to Gregory Peck <sigh>. He was an author in Old Gringo, but I was thinking of Beloved Infidel in which he played F. Scott Fitzgerald. Your turn. Very Happy

Sorry for the delay. Yes to Lauren Bacall. (I almost put it a warning that this was not Shirley MacLaine!)

Yes, I think he's great. I might have to go see Dreamcatcher just to see him play a bad guy. Very Happy

Absolutely right on Leo. A magnificant actor who got bad press after a few blockbuster films that showed more glamour than genius. I recommend any who think differently to see 'Whats Eating Gilbert Grape' and be brought to tears my the young guy's performance.

The traveller role was intended to be The Beach (best i could think of without giving it away); and the criminal role was meant to be 'Catch Me If You Can' but that one wasn't such a great description - should have said 'freudster'. It did lead me to watch the film just now though, and I thoroughly recommend that one too!

Tomorrow my laptop's being repaired for a few days so I prob won't be on too much. Your turn though Mac, and keep em coming.
