Mickey Mantle
Yogi Berra
Whitey Ford

Pink.

?

Wayne Rogers.

Cletus Snow.

Saw that movie once a long time ago. It was set in Chicago so I'm guessing it has to be Wrigley Field.

?

?

Sidney Poitier.

Mmmm...Halle Berry? (Of course, I'm assuming for 'best actress') (edit: D'oh! I think shootER's got it.)

?

1,3, 8 and 9 are correct by shooter
10 is incorrect
cobalt got two out of three right
Paladin got 1 3 and 4 and 6 and 10 were incorrect

Ive give yall one more day before answering them

so we still need 2 and 5 and 6, 10 and 11
and part of 7

How so?

Hattie McDaniel won Best Supporting Actress for Gone With The Wind in 1939.

Technically-speaking, my answer for 9 is incorrect (though it wasn't actually "won" but was "given" by the Academy).

you are correct sir---I thought it was dorothy dandridge but upon furthur investigation I find you are correct on number 10

Just guessing but 5 might be "Bringing up Baby"

6 is Comisky (since Wrigley has already been deemed wrong)

And I'm guessing on 11 too but Bill Cosby is as good a guess as I can think of.

If not Cosby (for I Spy) then possibly Nat King Cole for some musical program even earlier.

Cosby is right for I spy
Old Comiskey is right
5 is incorrect.


so we still need part of number 7

and numbers 2 and 5

OBTW--tomorrows TOFt will be on TV trivia

oh, and Poitier won for In The Heat Of The Night

Playing a hunch here....#5 is "Operation Petticoat"?

Sidney Poitier won an Academy Award for his performance in Lillies of the Field.
Rod Steiger won for In the Heat of the Night.

no--number 5 was Arsenic And Old Lace and the charachter played by the great one was Mortimer Brewster.
The other Yankee in A Touch Of Mink was Roger Maris
the video in Twister was Eric Clapton's "Motherless Child"
