Pop Quiz: Celebrity Name Chain

I know that most of you run from these Pop Quizzes as if they were a gym bag filled with pipe bombs left in the aisle of a coliseum, but perhaps a few of you will enjoy this one! The object is to identify the people in the photos, then link their names together in a chain. (Sort of like the "Before and After" category on Wheel of Fortune if you're a "Wheel Watcher.") For example, the one here is a shot of Bob Hope and Hope Lange, thus the answer would be "Bob Hope Lange." I made sure the spellings are the same, too, for the crossover word. Some of these are easier than others, though if you can pick out one of the people, you're already half-way to the answer! If you're feeling generous, you might even congratulate me on making some of the photos in question complimentary to one another in some way although the people may not be related or have worked together at all (or even in the same general era.) Have fun, and if you're good boys and girls there may be a few extra pics within the answers!

Answers below......

1.

"Susan Howard Keel"

Howard Keel and Susan Howard did work together on the hot prime-time soap Dallas.

2.

"Ava Gardner McKay"

I think Ava Gardner would love to have sunk her teeth into some Gardner McKay, as would most of the free world...

3.

"Anne Shirley MacLaine"

4.

"Joan Leslie Nielsen"

Leslie Nielsen holds a special place in our hearts as Captain of the S.S. Poseidon in The Poseidon Adventure (1972.)

5.

"Leslie Howard Duff"

6.

"Dane Clark Gable"

Clark Gable was "The King" of Hollywood. These shirtless pics are from his hit films Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), Mogambo (1953) and It Happened One Night (1934, for which he won an Oscar.) To me, he was never more handsome than in Red Dust (1932), though.

7.

"Cary Grant Withers" 
(If you don't know, 1930s & '40s actor Grant Withers was the first husband of 17 year-old, hot-to-trot Loretta Young, but it was annulled rather soon after.)

8.

"Mala Powers Boothe" 
(I tried to pretend that the connection with these pics is that his is from The Emerald Forest, 1985, and she's wearing emeralds! Ha! But I don't think they are...)

9.

"Susan St. James Spader"

10.

"Jill St. John Bromfield"

It's simply not possible to ever get too much John Bromfield while he was in his prime. That he was on this day, boating with our dear, late Tab Hunter.

11.

"Barbara Shelley Winters"

Shelley Winters crafted one of the most enduring (and immersive!) characterizations to ever affect a seven year-old boy, "Belle Rosen" in The Poseidon Adventure. We still aren't completely over it!

12.

"Christopher Lee Grant"

Christopher Lee and Lee Grant played sparring marrieds in one of my favorite movies, Airport '77 (1977.) Had this occurred in real life, she'd have been either Lee Lee or Lee Grant-Lee!

Bonus.

"David Brian Keith Andes!"

Hey, in his day Keith Andes was no slouch either, even in his alien makeup (and scanty costume) as a guest on Star Trek.
