Blind Item #5

Friends of this former A list mostly movie actress who still makes a couple of movies each year despite working for four decades. She is a permanent B lister and an Academy Award winner/nominee who has been in some of the biggest movies in history. Apparently she is suffering from early stages of Alzheimer's.

nah, no Oscar nod:Talia Shire

tricia13 said...

The Godfather/Rocky franchises being the "biggest movies of all time"

sandybrook said...

Julie Christie?

slim shady said...

Diane Keaton?

tricia13 said...

great guess@ Slim! But inexplicably, she has not won an AA.

tricia13 said...

my bad..she did win: Annie Hall i think?

sandybrook said...

Considering both Debra Winger (but unlikely to be her) and Sissy Spacek

tricia13 said...

but i do think shes more perm A/same with Julie Christie(who hasnt actually worked much at all in recent years)

slim shady said...

thx @Tricia :)

Yes, Annie Hall

slim shady said...

Sissy Spacek is a good guess!

sandybrook said...

Thx slim

slim shady said...

yeah, I think you're right

Lena said...

Like the Diane Keaton guess. I was thinking Jane Fonda maybe.

tricia13 said...

spacek is a good on_but biggest movies of all time(Carrie/Coal MIners Daughter)?? doesnt add up to the descrition , imo.Also..she is deuting a new TV series this year , which is different than "still works from time to time..."dunno..just my thought

tricia13 said...

*debuting

Lena said...

Or Susan Sarandon.

Suzanne said...

Carrie Fisher?

Princess Kate said...

She was nominated though, wasn't she?

Thandie said...

This is too vague. The spectrum is too wide.

Planet J said...

Sally Fields?

Planet J said...

Field*

sandybrook said...

sally is on Modern Family.
Diane Keaton with some of her outbursts in recent times could be right but there are so many this could be. Really too vague but fits the website so a reveal could be placed here someday.

Sigoirney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver

My guess, too. I don't know if RHPS/Bull Durham really qualify as "biggest pictures of all time" though, even if they are unforgettable in their own way. (Ditto "The Hunger", for that matter.)

Talia Shire would be a good guess, but I'd like to think Enty would remember that she's Coppola's brother/Nic Cage's aunt and mention something about her having family in the business. (Of course, SS has an acting brother, for that matter.)

Jess Sayin' said...

Er, Coppola is Talia Shire's brother, not vice versa. I even knew that. (Can I blame National Siblings Day, or something?)

just4fun said...

Kathy Bates? (although I can only think of one "big" movie - Titanic.)

Planet J said...

I don't think Sally Field is on Modern Family..maybe another show?

Planet J said...

Movies being.. Sybil,Mrs.Doubtfire,Forrest Gump,Steel Magnolias,the Smokey and the Bandit movies,Spider Man..etc..

Oscar winner OR nominee-- This is an excellent guess & I think you definately got it @Tricia !! nice roll you're on dear! ; )

sandybrook said...

I went to IMDb to check-- you're right not Modern Family was on Brothers and Sisters but she works a lot so this isn't her.

Tricia13 said...

Thanks BA ! She was nominated for 2x :once for Rocky, once for The Godfather

Dame Judi Dench has admitted to suffering from short-term memory loss. Says she can not longer learn her lines.

sasaj said...

First timer.....
My guess Diane Keaton....

Ratoncita said...

Jane Fonda. Skinny people more likely to suffer dementia.

back again said...

Wow @ Ratoncita !!! Is that supposed to be true??? Whew!!! that's a relief-I'm safe then.

Emeraldcity said...

She has macular degeneration which is sending her blind, that why she can't learn her lines anymore. She seemed pretty articulate and witty during recent interviews so I don't think it's her.

Emeraldcity said...

I don't really think hat's true, it can effect anyone, dementia sufferers forget to eat so they do get thin, but it's more a result of dementia then a pre condition.

Cobra Demander said...

Sally Field :(

Ratoncita said...

Off topic considering that actresses are all thin but apparently obese peeps suffer less dementia.
