Degrees of Separation

[Gant]

The Dame was in 1970's A Man Called Horse with that wel known High Plains Drifter fan.. Richard "Unforgiven " Harris.


   Lawrence Tierney

[Brendan]

Lawrence Tierney was in 2 Days in the Valley (1996) with Jeff Daniels, who was in Blood Work.

NEXT: Mr. T

[KC]

Mr. T was in the Leslie Nielsen spoof Spy Hard (1996) with the wonderful Marcia Gay Harden ... Sara in Space Cowboys and Dave's wife Celeste in Mystic River. Michael Berryman was in that one too, so that would have been another one-stepper for him.

[KC]

How's about another, prettier Tierney ... Gene?

[Gant]

The barely prettier Gene was in 1963's Toys in the Attic with The Beguiled's Geraldine Page.....

          Dick Miller

[KC]

Dick Miller was in It Conquered the World (1956) with the future Col. Mortimer (For a Few Dollars More) and Angel Eyes (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), Lee Van Cleef himself. I can't resist quoting the summary of this film from the IMDb ...

One of several remaining members of its race, an alien from Venus is guided to Earth by disgruntled scientist Tom Anderson  [Van Cleef], who tells it which humans it should attach mind control devices to. Among them is his old friend, fellow scientist Paul Nelson. Nelson, after killing a flying bat-thing which carries the device, finally persuades the paranoid Anderson that he's been wrong to ally himself with an alien bent on world domination. They hurriedly leave when they discover Tom's wife has picked up a rifle and gone to the alien's cave to try to kill it.

How about Dominique Sanda?

[Gant]

Dominique was in the classic 1971 flick Damnation Ally with Robert Donner who had a small part in High Plains Drifter.

He's also in a 1967 film called El Magnifico Extranjero with Paul Brinigar and Clint Eastwood. Whats this all about. Know anything about this one KC? Have I stumbled across a great lost Eastwood movie....

Next up... The gorgeous Yvonne De Carlo.

[KC]

El magnifico extranjero isn't a film, properly speaking, at all. It's a couple of episodes of Rawhide strung together, which was marketed in Europe in 1967 as if it were a new Clint Eastwood film, just when Eastwood's popularity as the star of the "Dollars" films was at its international peak. Eastwood had to take legal action against Jolly Film (producers of A Fistful of Dollars), who had licensed the episodes and were attempting to distribute the resulting product; see Schickel's Clint Eastwood, p. 175. I'm not sure whether the film was actually shown in theaters, but publicity materials for it certainly exist and can sometimes be found in places like eBay.

Gant, I'd have thought you'd pick The Mackintosh Man as your choice of film to link Sanda and Eastwood ...
 

[Gant]

Thanks for clearing that up.....

Ah yes..The Mackintosh Man featuring our old fave Michael Hordern. A much better link.

OK..c'mon, what ya got for Mrs Munster.

[KC]

Doesn't anyone want to play anymore?

Yvonne De Carlo was in Hostile Guns (1967) with John Russell, who was in three Eastwood films, most memorably as Stockburn in Pale Rider, and Roy Jensen, who was in SIX Eastwood films ... Paint Your Wagon, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, The Gauntlet, Every Which Way But Loose, Any Which Way You Can, and Honkytonk Man.

I have a feeling there's a more obvious link, but I didn't find it right away.

[KC]

New one: Buster Keaton ... with whose deadpan acting style Eastwood's has sometimes been compared.  

[Gant]

Buster's last movie was called A Funny Thing Happened to me on the way to the Forum.
Also staring...........

            MICHAEL HORDERN. ( Eagles Dare)

Who I'm starting to think has been in more films than George Kennedy and Christopher Lee combined.  

             George Raft

[Hemlock]

            George Raft

He was in Billy Wilder`s Some Like It Hot(´59)with Joan Shawlee(City Heat).
Next CHRIS O`DONNELL

[KC]

Chris O'Donnell was in Men Don't Leave (1990) with Jim Haynie, who was so good as Richard, the hapless husband, in The Bridges of Madison County.

[KC]

How about that master of the "technique of playing ineffectual, blustery, upper-class Brits" (Leonard Maltin, quoted in the IMDb) ... Nigel Bruce?

Seen here in one of his most famous roles, as Sherlock Holmes's sidekick, Watson.  

[Hemlock]

Nigel Bruce was in Chaplin`s Limelight(`52)with Marjorie Bennett(Coogan`s Bluff).
Next LINDA HAMILTON...

[Brendan]

Linda Hamilton was in Mr. Destiny (1990) with Rene "In the Line of Fire" Russo.
