“Firestarter” is right, the actor is wrong. “Mommie Dearest” is right. So far, we have: **Firestarter** --? **Mommie Dearest** --? **The Man With One Red Shoe** --? **O.C. and Stiggs** – Martin Mull The remaining actors: Jane Alexander Carroll Baker Ned Beatty Karen Black Scott Glenn Tommy Lee Jones Peter Lawford Cloris Leachman Mildred Natwick Leslie Nielsen Laurence Olivier Randy Quaid Burt Reynolds Cybill Shepherd M Emmet Walsh ---

I was going for “Texasville”, but I realized that the fourth actor was in both films. Eliminate Leachman, Quaid and Shepherd from the above list. Sorry! :wally ---

How about Eileen Brennan for _Texasville/The Last Picture Show_ which leaves us _Madeline Kahn_ for _At Long Last Love_. Kahn, Mull and Brennan were all in _Clue_, which also starred Tim Curry. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > that has to be the fastest round ever! You’re kidding me! Look at the time stamps, it took me six hours! Of course I drove home from work, ate dinner and put my kids to bed in that timeframe, but still. And where were the others? I thought it was pretty darned tough, until I took a potshot at Tim Curry and said, “Hey, what if **Want2Know** is doing Rocky Horror… hmmm?” ---

I’m going to have to sit this one out for a while I end up spending more time here than doing actual work - one of these days I am going to get caught I’ll check back in later (maybe) and help out with getting to the final movie Plus I’ll have a list ready to go for the next game ---
