Growing up in a one small factory town, movies and movie stars was a way to escape boring real life, long before Internet, plus having a mother that knew a lot about the old stars both local and foreign, and she had collection after collections of scrap books. She refered to Edward G as "angry little fat guy" until we watched Sammy Going South 1963, and suddenly she said "he looks like a cozy uncle everyone would like", and watching Song of Norway 1969 she refered to him as "ahh he looks old dear old Edward".

My eventual knowledge about old movies was spurred by my mothers old scrap books

Sure, I love these category games. There is a bit of everything for everyone.
Also, by using Edward G. Robinson you have proven that an performer doesn't have to be Oscared to  be interesting.

I have to say I didn't see any Georges in the game, but then you can never trust Matt to give us what he hinted at. 

I thought of many Georges: actors (George Clooney--George Arliss--George C. Scott--George Sanders), Oscared dancers (George Chakiris), composers (George M. Cohan--George Gershwin) directors (George Stevens--George Lucas), wrestlers (Georgoes Georges), and superheros, George Reeves), etc. But, I never thought any might make a complete game.  Then there are movie titles with a George in the title: The Killing of Sister George--The Madness of King George--George of the Jungle)


Well, maybe the G in Edward G. Robinson stands for George?
It's hard to say since that was the stage name of Emmanuel Goldenberg...
