Voicelessness pop quiz!

[BonesMS]

I guessed Mia Farrow but my post didn't post.


Hops

I don't think Mia Farrow ever married Woody Allen.  (He's very much alive.)  When she was married to Frank Sinatra, she didn't get pregnant during the marriage.  However, it appeared they remained "Friends with Benefits" after the divorce based on her son's striking physical resemblance to Old Blue Eyes.  (I think Woody Allen is having some angst about that.)  I'm not sure if Andre' Previn is still alive or not.

Hops:  “Mia Farrow?  Is there a prize?”

Nope, not Mia Farrow, but good guess.  The prize:  Induction into the Voicelessness Hall of Fame?  (How’s that for an oxymoron, Green Bean?!!!).  And, of course you get to post your accomplishment on Facebook, Twitter, etc...

Bones: “I also started thinking maybe Bo Derek.”  No, but another good guess.

OK., time for another clue:  The actress in question is, perhaps, best known for her work in European films.

Is she British or American?  If British I'm thinking Helen Mirren?  She might not be the right age.

Sophia Loren?

Hops

[BonesMS]

Brigitte Bardot?

[mudpuppy]

She played roles you would expect a “voiceless” actress to accept.

Patty Duke. Get it?

[sKePTiKal]

Goldie Hawn? (I have no idea why she just popped into my head...)

or Sophia Loren?

Twoapenny:  “Is she British or American?  If British I'm thinking Helen Mirren?  She might not be the right age.”

She’s not British or American, and hence she’s not Helen Mirren. Another good guess!

Lighter:  “I don't know! I don't know! Tell tell tell!”

Soon, soon, soon!

Hops:  “Sophia Loren?”

Nope!

Bones:  “Brigitte Bardot?”

Nope!

Mud:  “Patty Duke. Get it?”

LOL, I got it, but nope!

sKePTiKal:  “Goldie Hawn? (I have no idea why she just popped into my head...) or Sophia Loren?”

Nope and nope!

Oops, I have to make a correction to my first post.  The man she first felt “visible” with was not someone to whom she was married.  They lived together and had a child together. 

Two more clues:  She was twice nominated for an Academy Award, but never won, and her movies were rarely “crowd-pleasers.”

Keep trying!
