Irene Dunne.

Nominated five times, never won. BUT, was a bigger box office draw in her own time than any other actress, including Katharine Hepburn. Sadly, less remembered, for a weird reason-- her films were so successful, that a very large number of them were remade, and in her time, when a film was remade, the remaking studio bought the right to the original and pulled it from distribution, so her best films were not available until they came into public domain and available on video in the 1990s.

Oops. Favorite salad dressing.

I’m originally from Manhattan, and that’s too many to choose from. However, the city where I went to high school and college, and without planning to, actually spent more years of my life than any other, was Bloomington, IN. As far as I know, only one movie was ever filmed entirely in Bloomington, but it’s a very good one, and even one that holds up-- I saw it on TV about two years ago, and it was still a great movie.

[Breaking Away](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078902/?ref_=nv_sr_7).

So that’s my answer.  
Favorite US release that was filmed somewhere besides NYC or Hollywood.

That’s actually sort of hard. My favorite foreign film is without a doubt _Metropolis_, but since I have seen only versions with English intertitles, that may not be what you mean. So then my favorite foreign language film is probably the French film _The Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle_. However, after mentioning those two films, I feel obligated to mention another film I like just as well, if not more, which is an English language film, but an Australian film: _My Brilliant Career_.  
Your favorite independent US film.
