Today's Blind Items- All Irish

It's St. Patrick's Day, so of course these people are all going to be Irish born.

#1 -  This Tony Award winner is probably better known for her cable role on a great History Channel show. Anyway, her B list mostly movie actor boyfriend (also Irish born) has been cheating with her with a woman he met on the set of that monster box office franchise that has finally finally ended.

#2- This B- list mostly movie actress who is offspring of an A lister (also Irish born) overdosed when she was a teen and sent to rehab and no one ever knew.

#3 - This BAFTA award winning actor is best known in the US for this book turned into a movie. For the past couple of years though he has only been able to get work in Europe because he got drunk on the set of the book turned movie which disappointed and beat up a crew member.

Derek Harvey said...

Gummibear said...

like bono's daughter for #2
would have thought liam neeson or fassy would be in any of these but i guess they are to obviously irish

Tricia13 said...

Sarah Greene never won a Tony.

Derek Harvey said...

well write to enty because she is the answer. She was nominated, she is dating an Irish actor (Aiden Turner) and she is on the show Vikings on The History Channel.

Tricia13 said...

@gummibear- I'm irish and like WTF to these blinds lol. They don't make much sense- rating wise or other. Gabriel Byrne should've been here. He's scandalicious.

Tricia13 said...

Dear Enty,
Sarah Greene never won a Tony.
Love, Tricia.

Fran markey said...

Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote the book that the movie was based on.

Fran markey said...

I apolize for replying to myself, but I am new on the site The book is called: A Team of Rivals.
I think it is Daniel Day Lewis.

Kno Won Uno said...

Now he can change the reveal to match the item. ;-)

Tricia13 said...

always thinking@kno:)
And he will lol

Tricia13 said...

jonathon Rhys Meyers never won a Bafta award.
@ sandy you are right int DD Lewis
But the book to movie is The Crucible, I believe@Fran

sandybrook said...

I was going with My Left Foot as the book.

Planet J said...

I'm obsessed with him..he lives in my dreams!

Gummibear said...

gabriel byrne is on vikings on history channel

PoppyBlackOfLondon said...

Nice one Trica. Lol

Derek Harvey said...

Steve Coogan for number 3. Percy Jackson movies as the famous books that bombed as a movie. I was incorrect about Johnathon winning a Bafta.

Derek Harvey said...

Steve Coogan for number 3. Percy Jackson movies as the famous books turned into movie.

Cherry said...

Daniel Day Lewis can only get work in Europe? Bullshit. He's a 3 time Oscar winner and doesn't work that much because he chooses not to work that much.

Jess Sayin' said...

More pertinently, the Oscar wins mean he wouldn't be described as a "BAFTA winner".

Jess Sayin' said...

And she was a Tony nominee (as well as an Olivier nominee) so somewhat close, anyhow.

Jess Sayin' said...

Urgh, delete please. ^ I somehow missed that Derek had already mentioned the nomination. *facepalm*

Tricia13 said...

Steve Coogan is English(born in Manchester, to be exact).

If not DDL, perhaps Neeson but I don't think Taken is a book series.(it did shoot abroad however. Narnia? He won a Bafta, that's for sure.

SkittleKitty said...

I'm relieved that Brendan Gleeson doesn't fit for #3.
But Steve Coogan is British, so not him. Ciaran Hinds almost fits (won an Irish award) and is partly known for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but I guess since he's on Game of Thrones, it probably isn't him (?).

Dudette said...

He was killed off in the first season. It sounded like the actress in #1 is on Vikings, though.

Derek Harvey said...

3. Stephen Rea---known for V is for Vendetta. BAFTA winner.

Tricia13 said...

Rea nominated 2x ('93 and 2001 I think).
He never won.

Tricia13 said...

*'93/ 2012.
He did win an Ifta(Irish award., which is different).

back again said...

screw 'the crucible'--- "LAST OF THE MOHICANS" is the book--made every woman in america fantasize about him ..(& still does!!!) it's not Daniel Day Lewis for this answer anyway !!

Tricia13 said...

Jack O'connell- Bafta winner "up and coming star" 2015
Film based on Book Unbroken.

Derek Harvey said...

You are correct Tricia---I read on one site he won for Crying Game but on double checking that site was incorrect.

back again said...

not him--Jack was born & raised in England

Darla said...

I was going to guess Jonathan Rhys Meyers but he won an IFTA not a BAFTA but the clues fit

back again said...

i'm relieved its not Cillian Murphy--- he's delicious to my eyes & eery too

back again said...

i didn't mean movie disappointed ..just a movie that was hot..lol--as i said--no way could this be Daniel Day Lewis--directors would fall over themselves to work with him-he takes time off often(to become a cobbler,etc)

back again said...

Hey There Fran markey !! thanks for the good info & welcome aboard!! : )

Tricia13 said...

Kenneth Branagh- Belfast Northern Ireland .
Harry Potter " Chamber of Secrets"*drops Mike. Tired*

DeeRow said...

#1. Aidan Turner and Sarah Green. He has just finished the Hobbit, and she was in Vikings on the History Channel. They just got engaged so I hope this isn't true!
