Maybe that was the beginning of this cumulative award business.
I seem to recall that Liz Taylor had just recovered from a near-death illness (pneumonia?) and some felt that's why she won for Butterfield 8 - as well as having perhaps deserved the award two years earlier for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
The elderly nominee was Gloria Stuart for Titanic.
Name 4 actresses who were nominated and/or won Oscars for playing hookers. (I thought of six without trying very hard...I'm sure there are tons more...)
How about Elizabeth Taylor (Butterfield8), Julie Christie (McCabe and Mrs. Miller), Jane Fonda (Klute) and -- here's the one I'm reaching for -- Marsha Mason for Cinderella Liberty?
If that's right, please take another question macsm11 as I'm fresh out of Oscar questions.
Thanks for Butterfield8 hint BTW earlier. That got me started in the right direction.
Jane Fonda Klute won
Julia Roberts Pretty Woman nom
Elizabeth Shue Leaving Las Vegas nom
Sharon Stone Casino nom
And more:
Shirley Jones - Elmer Gantry - won
Kim Basinger - L.A. Confidential - won
Mira Sorvino - Mighty Aphrodite - won
Nicole Kidman - Moulin Rouge - nominated
Go ahead and ask us one, Larry...
