You're kidding, right? I give up right now.
I only know one movie that Miss Hussey was ever in and I know no other actors from that one.....
Yea!
...I win!
Hot diggity dog! :-)
Okay....
I'll tell you what...
I'll take pity on you, and give you an enormous hint....
Olivia Hussey had a rather important role in one of my favorite films of all time....
She played the Virgin Mary in what was probably the very BEST movie ever made about the life of Jesus Christ....
In fact, this is a film that, at one time or another, has actually been shown in most of churches I have ever attended, at some evening function or another....
Not to mention having been available for rent in virtually every video store I've ever visited, too....
Here is just a partial listing of her co-stars in that most excellent film....
Robert Powell
Anne Bancroft
Ernest Borgnine
Claudia Cardinale
James Farentino
James Earl Jones
Stacy Keach
James Mason
Ian McShane
Laurence Olivier
Donald Pleasence
Christopher Plummer
Anthony Quinn
Fernando Rey
Ralph Richardson
Rod Steiger
Peter Ustinov
Michael York
Cyril Cusack
Ian Holm
Ummm.... I still have no idea what you are talking about???
Olivia Hussey was in Romeo and Juliet... that's the ONLY film I have seen her in. And I am sorry to say that I have absolutely no idea what movie she might have been in as the virgin Mary. I can only think of one prominent "religious" movie and it was the Ten Commandments and that one didn't feature Jesus or Mary... Passion of the Christ is too recent and these stars are too old....
In listing the partial cast of the film I still don't know, I realize the others in the film don't help me much either... I actually don't KNOW more than half of the names you listed.... and of the rest, well... I could maybe get somewhere with Anne Bancroft via "The Graduate" or "84 Charing Cross Road"... James Earl Jones via his voice work in "Star Wars," Christopher Plummer in "The Sound of Music" and Ian Holm was in something I should know if I thought about it enough... but Laurence Olivier, though I am familiar with him.... I have not a clue, my sweet baboo!
But even if your "pity-Kate" clue were to help me... who the heck is Udo Kier? I have never heard of him and I don't recognize him... and that looks like a horror film? Perhaps a Dracula tale, which I would not have seen??
Seriously, I concede... You actually are KING of the WORLD... or at least of classic cinema.
Shadow of the Vampire.....Udo Kier/Cary Elwes
The Princess Bride.....Cary Elwes/Fred Savage
Austin Powers: Goldmember.....Fred Savage/Michael York
Jesus of Nazareth.....Michael York/Olivia Hussey
You rock, Spencer! I am amazed!
