Round 7: Tossup 21

In a film by a director with this first name framed as found footage, hard bop pianist Freddie Redd plays one of a group of addict jazz musicians who encourage a cameraman to shoot up heroin. In another film, that director with this first name filmed her and her crew’s rage at the title boa-wearing gay Black sex worker. The director of The Connection and Portrait of Jason shares this first (15[1])name with an actress who played a four-time widow paired opposite six leading men in the film What a Way to Go!. A character played by an actress with this first name says (*) “I like it that way; makes me look the way I feel” upon being told her mirror is broken. That actress with this first name exclaimed “I have loved you the way they said!” as a closeted teacher in The Children’s Hour, shouted “give my daughter the shot!” in Terms of Endearment, and remarked “shut up and deal” as elevator operator Fran (10[1])Kubelik. For 10 points, give this first name of the female lead of The Apartment. ■END■
