32

33

Well, here’s my list by movie rather than role (I don’t remember the character’s name offhand for most of them):

  1. Gregory Peck none… I know I have something, but I can’t picture his face, and the DB in my head is timing out.

  2. Humphrey Bogart Casablanca

  3. Gary Cooper High Noon

  4. Clark Gable Gone With The Wind

  5. Alan Ladd none

  6. Yul Brynner The King and I

  7. Robert Mitchum ?

  8. Cary Grant North by Northwest (though I haven’t actually seen it yet)

  9. Marlon Brando On The Waterfront

  10. Elizabeth Taylor Cat On A Hot Tin Roof

  11. Vivien Leigh Gone With The Wind

  12. Katherine Hepburn Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

  13. Audrey Hepburn My Fair Lady

  14. Sophia Loren Grumpier Old Men? (Was she the lady in that one?)

  15. Meryl Streep The Witches of Eastwick (d’oh!)

  16. Judi Dench **? I actually don’t recognize the name! **

  17. Diane Keaton …that Woody Allen movie… (Manhattan, I looked it up)

  18. Julia Roberts Pretty Woman

34

  1. Gregory Peck: Ahab.

  2. Humphrey Bogart: Marlowe.

  3. Gary Cooper: Howard Roark.

  4. Clark Gable: Rhett Butler, duh.

  5. Alan Ladd: This Gun for Hire.

  6. Yul Brynner: The King.

  7. Robert Mitchum: Pug Henry.

  8. Cary Grant: C.K. Dexter Haven.

  9. Marlon Brando: The Wild One.

  10. Elizabeth Taylor: Maggie.

  11. Viven Leigh: Scarlett, natch.

  12. Katherine Hepburn: Tracy Lord.

  13. Audrey Hepburn: Sabrina.

  14. Sophia Loren: Umm, chick with the big gazots, early '60s like.

  15. Meryl Streep: Sophie.

  16. Judi Dench: Jean.

  17. Diane Keaton: Baby Boom.

  18. Julia Roberts: Pretty Woman.

35

Note that I haven’t even seen several of the above actors in the above roles, yet pop culture has its effect all the same. I thought of Liz in Cat, which I’ve never seen, before I thought of her in Giant, which I have seen. Same with Peck as Ahab.

Is Vivien Leigh in here as a sort of control? Everybody who answered gave either Scarlett or “none.”

36

  1. Gregory Peck - Ahab

  2. Humphrey Bogart - Sam Spade

  3. Gary Cooper - nothing

  4. Clark Gable - Rhett Butler

  5. Alan Ladd - This Gun for Hire (I forget the character’s name though)

  6. Yul Brynner - the King of Siam

  7. Robert Mitchum - Rev Harry Powell and Pug Henry both come in my head at the same time

  8. Cary Grant - Peter from Charade

  9. Marlon Brando - Stanley Kowolski

  10. Elizabeth Taylor - The girl in National Velvet

  11. Viven Leigh - Scarlett O’Hara

  12. Katherine Hepburn - On Golden Pond lady

  13. Audrey Hepburn - Sabrina

  14. Sophia Loren - nothing

  15. Meryl Streep - Kramer vs Kramer

  16. Judi Dench - Iris

  17. Diane Keaton - Buster Keaton! But that’s word association, not a movie role.

  18. Julia Roberts - Pelican Brief

Some of mine are weird because I didn’t see enough of their movies to have a sensible answer. If I sit and sit I can think of lots of movies Diane Keaton’s been in, but I don’t really associate her with anything. I just don’t like Elizabeth Taylor for some reason and when I think of her I think of 1970s awards shows or something.

37

  1. Gregory Peck - To Kill A Mockingbird

  2. Humphrey Bogart - Maltese Falcon

  3. Gary Cooper - High Noon

  4. Clark Gable - Gone With the Wind

  5. Alan Ladd - none

  6. Yul Brynner - Westworld

  7. Robert Mitchum - Cape Fear

  8. Cary Grant - Bringing Up Baby (go figure!)

  9. Marlon Brando - On the Waterfront

  10. Elizabeth Taylor - A Place in the Sun

  11. Viven Leigh - Gone With the Wind

  12. Katherine Hepburn - African Queen

  13. Audrey Hepburn - Charade

  14. Sophia Loren - Houseboat

  15. Meryl Streep - Silkwood

  16. Judi Dench - none

  17. Diane Keaton - Annie Hall

  18. Julia Roberts - Pretty Woman

38

  1. Gregory Peck- Atticus Finch or Joe Bradley from Roman Holiday

  2. Humphrey Bogart- Steve (Harry) from To Have and Have Not

  3. Gary Cooper-none

  4. Clark Gable-Rhett Butler

  5. Alan Ladd-none

  6. Yul Brynner-King of Siam

  7. Robert Mitchum-none

  8. Cary Grant-Nick Ferrante from An Affair to Remember

  9. Marlon Brando-Stanley Kowalski

  10. Elizabeth Taylor- the daughter from “Father of the Bride”

  11. Viven Leigh- Scarlett O’Hara

  12. Katherine Hepburn- Christina Drayton from Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

  13. Audrey Hepburn- Princess Ann from Roman Holiday or Holly Golightly

  14. Sophia Loren-none

  15. Meryl Streep-Clarissa Vaughan from The Hours

  16. Judi Dench- Queen Elizabeth from SHakespeare in love

  17. Diane Keaton- Annie Paradis from The First Wives’ Club

  18. Julia Roberts- Erin Brockovitch or Vivian from Pretty Woman

39

It really is amusing for some reason to compare. When I look back at other answers I don’t know why I associate people with the roles I do. I’ve seen a billion Meryl Streep movies and Kramer vs. Kramer isn’t even one of them!
