INTRODUCTION:
First of a trio of contests about performers in a family way
_____________________________________________________
SONG: (Vocals by Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen)
Sisters, Sisters
Try to match the Actress with her Sister
Many players try to link them up
But so few can
Lord help the player
Who comes between me and my halfer
And Lord help Quizmaster
For sticking us with a Gaffer

QUOTE:
"She's my SISTER (slap) ... My daughter (slap) ... My SISTER (slap) ... My daughter (slap) ... She's my SISTER AND my daughter!"
--- 'Evelyn Mulwray' (Faye Dunaway) in CHINATOWN
********************************************************************************************************
SET-UP:
Alphabetically and numerically listed below in BLUE are 120 ACTRESSES, many of them (more than half) career OSCARED (Winning or Nominated). Two of them can be linked in a unique way -- they have been cinematic SISTERS in a theatrical FEATURE FILM (no TV-Movies allowed in here).
CHALLENGE:
Match the ACTRESSES/SISTERS and identify the FILM. There will ALWAYS be a career OSCARED (W or N) ACTRESS in every answer (and sometimes both). A posting example is given below. Just one answer per post, and only three consecutive responses allowed before another player participates. Duplicate correct posts will be determined by the earlier time stamp. Identified SISTERS will convert to RED when solved, along with the FILM NAME and the name of the clever player who spotted them. Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
EXAMPLE:
124. ROSEMARIE DeWITT / 136. ANNE HATHAWAY
Place FILM NAME on the Subject Line (if there is one)
Ex. : 124/136 -- RACHEL GETTING MARRIED
Place Both ACTRESSES (last names will suffice) in the Message Box
Ex. : DeWitt / Hathaway
______________________________________________________________________________
EQUATIONS:
a) Questions -- 30% Easy / 30% Challenging / 30% Difficult / 10% Impossible
b) Answers -- 99% Absolutely Accurate / 01% Garth Gaffe (Advance Apology Extended)
NOTATIONS:
NTA = Not the Answer / KP = Keep Pursuing (on the right track) / QS = Quit Searching (down the wrong path)
** -- DDC Membership Post / LLS -- Last Link Standing
STATISTICS:
120 ACTRESSES / 60 SETS OF SISTERS / 60 FILM NAMES
____________________________________________________________________________________________
QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
Except for warm welcomes to incoming players and helpful hints for incorrect answers, the QM may not always respond to every post. Not being unfriendly, just utilizing the time more wisely by keeping the Scoreboard U-T-D (Up-To-Date). Besides, it's just too boring to keep responding 'Yes' to every correct answer, and too many posts might scare away potential participants. The Scoreboard will tell the tale. Be patient about those Updates -- the QM thinks and types slowly (you want 'em fast or accurate -- I don't do both).
Comments on Correct Answers (always a player's first, and sometimes after several attempts) will be noted ALL IN CAPS!!! Only one matchup can be correct (MINE -- it's good to be the Quizmaster) in order to avoid creating orphans. When traffic is overwhelming, Scores will be entered in groups of five, and Incorrects (NTAs and Halfers) will be bundled. Do not return to correct a previous post -- this vehicle cannot make U-turns.
