Round 9: Tossup 4

At the end of the last film starring these two actors, one of them hallucinates that a dog is a naked man after their sibling characters each deal with divorces. (15[1])In a film that inspired the car accident scene from All About My Mother, these two actors play actors who improvise a play’s final act. The film scholar Ray Carney has feuded with these two actors’ estate over the re-discovered first cut of a film about a trumpeter who falls in love with a white-passing Black woman. In a film directed by these two actors’ (*) son Nick, one of them plays a character who briefly overcomes her dementia to dance to the song “I’ll Be Seeing You” at a nursing home. These two actors’ own mothers played the mothers of the Longhettis in a 1974 film about a housewife newly released from an institution. For 10 points, name these two married actors who made independent films together like Minnie and Moskowitz and A Woman Under the Influence. ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
