Hey Dan…..after some of your recent epic lists… figured I would give you a slight break…and BBG did the job. As I was going through my Joel book….I was surprised she made the book….I guess the fact that Dallas was so huge when he wrote it, carried a lot of weight. I just watched #986 Ossie Davis in Grumpy Old Men last night. He was fun in that supporting role…not sure why they had to kill him off in that movie.
10 Osar winning co-stars….and hey are well spread out over her 12 movies. As always….good stuff…and thanks for sharing this information.
