17.Victor McLaglen

Virenda said...

v said...

I thought it might be Gregory Peck. I did a google image search for both Greg and Victor ... I don't think either match.

Grrrr. Darn #17!!

Virenda said...

I'm trying to think of "old" actors that would have been nominated....

~sigh~

Henry Fonda?

v said...

good enough for me -- i'll send an email in.

Thanks Virenda.

Virenda said...

LOL any time.

Um you know I'm just pulling names out of my ass right?! I can't even remember what Henry Fonda looks liked...

Hope it works ~wink~

Ewan NOT Russell. I think.

Marcia said...

v - I got my mom in on it, and she thinks we're right on cary grant and henry fonda and katherine hepburn, but is not so sure on the Liz Taylor. Could it be Bette Davis? Was she ever nominated for an Oscar?

Virenda said...

I'm pretty sure because it looks like her eye but I'm NO expert on older movies like that and who was nominated and who wasn't...
~sigh~

and since my favorite "old" movies are Alfred Hithcock's movies, I don't know much about Oscar buzz.

(I LOVE me some AH.)

Vi - OMG did you watch The Bad Seed? And did it not creep you out?

Virenda said...

VERY VERY creepy! ~grin~

I just love that you know the movie...

~wink~

Um, when are we going to get the freaking answers?!!
