Remember, each correct answer has something to do with another answer. I goofed for 37 though, the role should have been the question instead of the answer. About half of the remaining answers can be found by going through the correct answers and figuring out the connections. Four others can be figured out by searching. ---

So the answer to #37 is Lainie Kazan? i can now stop trying to figure out which role you want? ---

I did have a role in mind, one which connects her to an answer that hasn’t been given yet. Call it the two degrees of Lainie Kazan. 🙂 ---

Maybe if I say Sylvia Goldman sings like an old woman, someone can work out two other answers. ---

1. Dirty Harry 2. Mick Jagger 3. Mystic Pizza 4. Leona Bloom (I have another in reserve) Just for laughs, #13 is Clutch Cargo. ---

#3 down and you can stop trying to answer #37. If I had put more thought into it, I would have used my prevoius post as the correct clue. ---

#5, no but it is a song. You’re also on the right track for #13, it’s a TV show. ---
