All the answers this week to the blind items are people who have never previously been an answer to a blind in the past decade.
This old B+ list mostly movie actor is 3/4 of the way to an EGOT if you count nominations and halfway if you count wins. He has had some memorable roles in tv and movies, but back in the day he was in this movie based on a book. Anyway, he was 70 or close to it and married. It didn't stop him from having a different female extra in his trailer every day. He was even there the days he was not scheduled to film.
Harry Belafonte?
ReplyDeleteHas an Oscar/Emmy and I believe nominated for a Grammy?
ReplyDeleteOscar was an honorary humanitarian award- not sure it counts:(
ReplyDeleteI believe this - he hit on a friend of mine who attended a meet and greet in Cleveland back in the day.
ReplyDeleteThx for the tea!! He actually won a Tony so that and the Emmy are the 2 awards....randy fella eh
ReplyDeleteHe is 90 years old this year.
ReplyDeleteRobert Duvall, book turned movie, The Godfather?
ReplyDeleteOr James Caan?
ReplyDeleteI wanted this to be Lee J. Cobb, with the movie being The Exorcist, but I can't believe how he's been nominated for Oscars, Emmy and Tonys multiple times each, and has never won any!
ReplyDeleteHe really should be A list,even A+.
ReplyDeleteSince when do nominations count toward EGOT? The whole point is WINNING all four.
ReplyDeletei don't think we've gotten it yet. if i'm reading this right, he was 70-ish when the movie based on a book was being made and he was busy in his trailer. for belafonte, that would put the movie around 1997 as he's 90 now. i don't see a movie in the late 90's that fits. lee j cobb was born in 1911, so his movie would have been made around 1981, but he died in 1976. the godfather came out in '72: james caan was in his early 30's, duvall about 40.
ReplyDeleteJohn Lithgow
ReplyDeletekirk douglas, born in 1916 was 72 when he was in the tv movie version of inherit the wind...has he been the answer to a blind? notorious horn dog.
ReplyDeletenvm, doesn't match the awards requirement.
ReplyDeleteBurt Reynolds?
ReplyDeleteand rapist!
ReplyDeletewish he'd die already.
RDJ subtly called him out a few years ago on it.
Duvall almost fits. He was in a remake of "The Scarlett Letter" in 1995 (when he was 69). He got divorced in 1995, but he could have still been married while filming. The only problem is, I don't think he has a nomination in the Tony or Grammy categories.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Christopher Plummer, who was in an adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby around the time he was 70, but he has three EGOT wins (Oscar, Tony, Emmy).
ReplyDeleteSidney Poitier sort of fits, as he was in a remake of the Jackal when he was around 70 (the original was based on a novel "The Day of the Jackal")., and he has an Oscar win and Grammy win (and an Emmy nomination). He just doesn't seem like the type that would have been bringing chicks to a trailer, but what do I know.
Oh great. This is like the second time in a week Enty has tried to change the definition of EGOT. It's not nominations It's WINS!
ReplyDeleteHe also really misunderstands what dual-threat, triple-threat mean etc. Just not up on theater terms at all.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't consider Mr. Poitier B+...he's permanently A list.
