Sorry, it was driving me crazy.

Ahm, we know Arliss was born in 1868, but when was Shearer born? 1902? I remember when she was supposed to have been born in 1900. And then there's the burning question of how the hell one is calculating the age gap between Joan Crawford, with all her conflicting birth dates - 1904,'05,'06 or '08, and Ray Milland (which I see that now his year of birth is stated as 1907, but I do remember - sue me - that in earlier publications it was 1905).FilmFan720 wrote:If this year is Malek and Close, then they would tie with George Arliss/Norma Shearer (1930) for the third biggest gap ever.
That is the biggest gap between the two lead acting winners ever. The second longest is only a few years earlier than that: Paul Newman was 41 years older than Marlee Matlin. If this year is Malek and Close, then they would tie with George Arliss/Norma Shearer (1930) for the third biggest gap ever.dws1982 wrote:I think the nearly 48-year difference between Jessica Tandy and Daniel Day-Lewis is probably the biggest gap.
Not that the rest of the stuff doesn't come off as PR bullshit, but this is really, but really, pushing the envelope.Big Magilla wrote:Although no one could match Mercury's range, the false teeth that Malek wore supposedly enabled him to reach higher notes than he normally could.
