Name the actor by surnames of roles played

Faye Dunaway. Parker.

Kevin Bacon

Actually, the one I left out was Mulwray, from Chinatown. Nice work, though.

For another clue, all of the above names are portrayals of real people, not fictional

Yes. Mulwray is so uncommon, and Parker the other, that I should have thought a few seconds longer. Bonnie being her first major role tricked me.

Have you ever known a Mulwray in real life?

Faye Dunaway?

NO…MORE…WIRE…HANGERS!

I would think that Joan Crawford IS the giveaway

No, I think she’s unique. Point taken.

Charlton Heston. I got sidetracked with Paul Scofield on More.

Nice work!

I’ve never known of a Mulwray. I really didn’t think Parker and Crawford were easy giveaways, because although they were signature roles for Dunaway, they’re also really common surnames. Go figure…

It’s hard to explain those “mind triggers.” For me it was Laura Mars, because of her love interest in that one. Name him!

I saw “…Laura Mars” once many years ago but don’t remember it now. The one guy who came to mind with respect to your challenge was a young Michael Biehn, who stalked Dunaway in The Fan, also made around that time. So even though I know it wasn’t Biehn, he was so dishy he deserves a mention anyway. :smiley:

We ought to play a “Six Degrees” variant based on actors’ real-life and portrayed romantic liasons… ooh la la!

Tommy Lee Jones was the Laura Mars lover. Not long after he was Al Gore’s roommate at college (one of the Ivy League schools).

That Six Degrees thing sounds fun. How would it work?

Just as it sounds. For “romantic entanglement,” I’d include virtually anything of a romantic bent, including flirting and making googly-eyes and cases of unrequited love. Instead of Six Degrees, we could call it Sixxx Degrees.

For ex.: Sixxx-degrees connect Humphrey Bogart to Michael Caine [!]:

Bogart kisses Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca
Bergman was involved with Leslie Howard in Intermezzo
Howard was married to Merle Oberon in The Scarlet Pimpernel
Oberon was involved with Lawrence Olivier in Wuthering Heights
Olivier was involved with Michael Caine in Sleuth.

Et voila!

But we’ve hijacked this thread enough. I’m starting this game in Cafe Society now…
