No it's not Demi Moore and snakebite911 obviously knows who she is...so why not say? She's more wellknown in your part of the world Jaybee than elsewhere.

Danica Patrick

[landofsmiles]

Yep, probably the most famous woman in motorsport right now.

Danica Patrick (born March 25, 1982 in Beloit, Wisconsin) is an American auto racing driver competing in the IndyCar Series. With her win in the 2008 Indy Japan 300, Patrick became the first woman to win an Indy car race.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

[landofsmiles]

Blimey! Give me a chance to post it! Thought YOU would be the one to get it. Brilliant actor. I've just got the DVD BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD with him in it...any good?

Here he is in one of his most recent roles>>>


Stick one up Bernie while I get some more ready :-)

[Soupdragon]

It was the hair that gave him away, looks just like he did playing the sleazy tabloid journalist in Red Dragon.

Not gonna mask this one I think he is disguised enough in this early role he is playing.

[landofsmiles]

Kenneth Branagh?

[landofsmiles]

Forget that. Just had a look. Branagh doesn't have a dent in his chin!

Lawrence Olivier

[JayBee]

It's obviously William Hurt. "Kiss of the Spider Woman" is the movie, IIRC.

[Soupdragon]

It's is William Hurt in Kiss Of The Spider Women.

Your go.

[JayBee]

Who is this old-time actor with a "dent"(cleft) in his chin?

[JayBee]

No guesses yet? Look at the way he is holding his cigarette. Where have you seen that before in the movies? ;

[Soupdragon]

Quentin Crisp ????

[JayBee]

No. He appeared in approx. 85 movies in his career, including one movie, which is included in the top ten of most lists of the Top 100 movies of all-time. The first 15 movies he appeared in were made in Germany, but he is not German. He is not usuallly thought of a leading man, but perhaps one of the most famous and well-known character actors of all time, and did play a lead role in many movies, but was not the lead in the Top Ten all-time movie mentioned above, although he played an important role in that one, and is well-remembered for his classic scenes in that movie. I think everyone knows his name. I'm sure you all do! He is not one of those obscure actors that only movie buffs recognize, although he was maybe a little younger and slightly better-looking(but was never known as good-looking, quite the contrary) in the pic I posted of him. Still, when you see the eyes, I am pretty sure you will recognize him. Want me to post another pic or have you got him figured out already?

More trivia: He died at the age of 60 and was very active 'til the end, appearing in several movies that were released the year he died. Which would make him approx. 38 when he appeared in the classic role mentioned above.

More movie trivia and another pic!

Although best known for his great character roles(BTW, another one of his movies is in the top 25 of Top All-Time 100 movies on many lists), he was actually the hero in a series of 8 movies made early in his Hollywood days. In those flims, he played a Japanese spy, in the service of Imperial Japan. The films were very popular when released and made him recognizable to movie fans of that era. However, when US relations with Japan headed south, suddenly Japanese spies no longer qualified as heroes in American theaters!! He was sort of a Japanese pre-cursor to James Bond, except not as dashing or handsome! He was a master of disguise, and often pretended to be a fool, idiot, or servant, when conducting surveillance on suspects. There were no Miss Moneypennys in those films, but lots of violent action and, of course, he always solved the mystery and nailed the culprits!!

The pic below is from one of those films in which he played the Japanese hero! I think he may be a little more recognizable in this pic!

That's "Peter Lorre"!

Yeah, in that 2nd pic, playing Mr. Moto, the Jap secret agent, I think he is very recognizable, even with the eyes and mouth blocked out. He was born in Slovakia, which was then part of Hungary, so he was known as a Hungarian, but wasn't, actually. A strange looking man, but something quite compelling in his eyes. He was highly regarded by his peers for his acting abilities. Gained worldwide fame as the bad guy in many movies, including Casablanca(#2 all-time on AFI list), The Maltese Falcon, again with Humphrey Bogart, and Arsenic and Old Lace. His most distinctive characteristic was his weird voice, so often mimicked by others.

Married 3 times, always to beauties. Perhaps the strangest thing in his personal life is that he divorced his 1st wife to marry his mistress, whom he had already been living with for 3 years, then took his first wife on the honeymoon with his new bride!

Also was the leading artist in M. Top classic movie.
