1. Surely muck claim?

Answer: Shirley MacLaine

"Terms of Endearment," 1984. She was nominated four times before she won.

"Sophie's Choice," 1983. She won Best Supporting Actress for "Kramer vs. Kramer," too.

3. Chain fondant?

Answer: Jane Fonda

"Klute," 1972 and "Coming Home," 1979. She was good with her dad in "On Golden Pond," too.

4. Jo defroster?

Answer: Jodie Foster

"The Accused," 1989 and "The Silence of the Lambs," 1992 (with the incomparable Anthony Hopkins). She was good in "Nell," too. BTW: The word "jo" means "girlfriend"--it's a Scrabble word.

"Coal Miner's Daughter," 1981. She's good in "In the Bedroom," too. Did anyone see "Carrie"? Wow--scary.

"Dead Man Walking," 1996.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," 1976. She played the evil head nurse opposite Jack Nicholson, who also won. Terrific movie.

8. Chewy grist tea?

Answer: Julie Christie

"Darling," 1966. She was nominated twice more. I thought she was fantastic in "Far from the Madding Crowd."

9. Illicit bits trailer?

Answer: Elizabeth Taylor

"Butterfield 8," 1961 and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf," 1967. I loved her in the original "Father of the Bride," which came out in 1950 and also starred Spencer Tracy in the title role. Liz was radiant! Who can name all of her husbands in chronological order?

Answer: Katharine Hepburn

"Morning Glory," 1934. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" in 1968. "The Lion in Winter," 1969. "On Golden Pond," 1982. Sadly, she passed away in 2003.

11. Alley bury?

Answer: Halle Berry

"Monsters Ball," 2002. The first African American woman to win a Best Actress award! She was just amazing in that movie.

12. Jewry yam truce?

Answer: Julie Andrews

"Mary Poppins," 1965. She was nominated twice more. She recently won a Kennedy Center award, too.

"Moonstruck," 1988. Her full given name is Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre.

16. Flounces MIG doormat?

Answer: Frances McDormand

"Fargo," 1997. Fantastic performance. If you can handle violence, don't miss that movie. She was great in "Almost Famous," too (another Don't Miss It movie, especially for Baby Boomers). A MIG is a Soviet fighter plane.

Answer: Helen Hunt

"As Good as It Gets," 1998. Jack Nicholson and his leading lady win again. Wonderful movie! Helen Hunt was also fantastic in Water Dance.

18. Sill leaf eel?

"Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," 1975. Rent it if you haven't seen it. Jodie Foster has a minor role as Alice's son's friend. E.B. was just amazing in "Resurrection," too. She's been nominated many times.

20. Mug geese myth?

Answer: Maggie Smith

"The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," 1970. I adore M.S. She's good in "Harry Potter," too.
