Such as one of my actors above, right? There’s not a lot of rules here, I don’t think. I had no problem with Gladys Smith; just noticed she later became better known by another name. It’s all good! ---

> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > I’m confused about what is in play-- aren’t you supposed to solve the previous before posting? By my count, only one outstanding in play: Gloria Swanson, Erich von Stroheim, Buster Keaton Which I will answer here because I happen to know it: Sunset Boulevard. Buster Keaton in the “old silent stars play cards” scene, so great. Yes, it would be good if folks would answer the last one, before posting the next one (in the same post, because neatness counts). So then the new outstanding one is Burpo’s: Thomas Jane, Molly Parker, Neal McDonough ---
