Packet 3: Tossup 5

June Squibb and this man are the only people to narrate their Criterion Closet video while sitting down. This man (15[1])chose Zsa Zsa Gabor as his scene partner who is slaughtered by Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3. (15[2])This man wrote the line “here (-5[1])they are, Jayne Mansfield” for Jack Paar. A character played by this man acerbically says “Delia, you are a flake” to the host of a (15[1])dinner party whose patrons dance to a calypso song. The poor box office for the (-5[1])film (*) Husbands was partially due to this man’s run-in with (10[1])its three drunk stars, (10[1])including (10[1])John Cassavetes. (10[2])Public (10[2]-5[1])knowledge of the private life of Katharine Hepburn mostly stems from her impromptu interview with this man, who hosted Salvador Dali’s (10[1])anteater and the debate between Lester Maddox and (10[1])Jim (10[1])Brown. (10[1])For 10 points, the Vidal–Mailer feud climaxed (10[1]0[2])violently on what man’s 1970s talk show? ■END■
