Welcome welcome to a game of “Bette or Cary or Ingrid or Fred or Katharine or Marlon?”. Yes, I’m sure I can keep this on a first name basis. (If you’re not sure of anyone’s surname, don’t be embarrassed to ask.) I have for you 30 clues, each pointing to one of them in a movie. To play, just post the clue number followed by the appropriate star's first name along with the movie. So, for example, if clue #5 said “Places dead rat in sister’s serving platter", just answer “5-Bette/Whatever Happened To Baby Jane”. If you wouldn’t have that answer, are you sure you’re in the right place?
18 of the answers are each worth one point, and 12 answers that I’ve deemed as “Toughies” are each worth two points. So, a total of 42 points to be had.
No film appears more than once.
No more than 3 consecutive posts, and one answer per post please.
OK, ready? Here are your clues. When a clue is solved I’ll mark it as such.
1- Attempts to con a wealthy widow into buying phony stock. SOLVED
2- Tries to retrieve their “lucky quarter” from the person now possessing it SOLVED
3- Burns a letter containing news of an important scholarship award SOLVED
