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 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 Kubelik. For 10 points, give this first name of the female lead of The Apartment. ■END■
