First Round of Dueling Remakes
_____________________________________________________
SONG: (Vocals by Dick Van Dyke)
Quiz droughts are gonna clear up
Put on a Happy Face
Dust off those Links and cheer up
Peck in PARADINE CASE
So spread answers and join in the race
'Cause Garth Games are back in place

--- 'Norma Desmond' (Gloria Swanson) in SUNSET BOULEVARD (well, almost)
********************************************************************************************************
SET-UP:
Alphabetically and numerically listed below in BLUE are 120 career Oscared (Winning or Nominated) ACTRESSES. Two of them can be linked in a unique way -- one appeared in a leading or prominent role in an EARLIER VERSION (EV) of a theatrical FEATURE FILM (no TV-Movies allowed in here), while the other played the same role in a LATER REMAKE (LR). Literary and Musical adaptations still count. Some titles, locations, character names, etc. may have been adjusted from the EV to the LR.
CHALLENGE:
Match the ACTRESSES and identify the FILM NAME(s). 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 and labeled ACTRESSES will convert to RED when solved, along with the FILM NAME(s) and the name of the clever player who spotted them. Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
EXAMPLE:
124. JULIE HARRIS / 136. LIZA MINNELLI
Place NUMBERS and FILM NAME(s) on the Subject Line (if there is one)
Ex. : 124/136 -- I AM A CAMERA / CABARET
Place Both ACTRESSES (last names will suffice) and LABELS (EV and LR) in the Message Box
Ex. : Harris (EV) / Minnelli (LR)
______________________________________________________________________________
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-plus FILM NAMES / 60 EARLIER VERSIONS (EV) / 60 LATER REMAKES (LR)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
