17. In the Movie "Little Big Man", aka Jack Crabb, if I remember correctly. Great book, by the way. Chief Dan George portrays Old Lodge Skins, again IIRC, and he delivers the immortal line "*sigh*..I was afraid of this...Sometimes, the magic works, and, sometimes, it doesn't".
20. Lady, as in "The Lady and The Tramp".
21. Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, when asked to explain why he wanted to avoid the draft, and avoid going into the army and possibly going to Viet Nam.

16. Ahh, thanks WC: my aging eyes read "actress", not "actor", and that makes all the difference. Robert Shaw, I think - played the "mark" in "The Sting", and Captain Quint in "Jaws". The scene in "Jaws" where he speaks about the USS Indianapolis, well...

14 - Thanks for the reminder. IIRC Hudson was set adrift because his men were not happy with him - I think a disagreement about the Northwest Passage. In any case, that was the last seen of Henry - who was really Hendrick, incidentally.
