Actually Al Christie's star is on Hollywood and Highland. That's for directing and he has another for writing.
The two DP's are Joe Ruttenberg and Leon Shamroy.
Who has the most Best Director Oscar's?

Cool, I learned something new. But alas, Edna was not based on Edith Head.

John Ford, hence my guess on the DP question.

Mock the three actors answered yesterday by Phogge.
Nicholson
Daniel Day Lewis
Walter Brennan
RE: Sports trivia thread -
Phogge - 07-23-2021
Is Daniel Day George related to Gorgeous George Bobbbbb? Or Jeff George? Or Curious George? Or Phylis George? Or George the Third?
Ford most with four, William Wyler with 12 nominations, winning three.
Ford tough on Marion Morrison (Wayne). What SC player introduced Wayne to Ford? I counted all the DP's who won Oscar's. My pop worked with 17 of them. Met most, classy guys as a rule.
RE: Sports trivia thread -
BobK - 07-23-2021
Ward Bond was also a Tackle at USC with Wayne. So he’s my guess
Lewis not Curious George

Willie Mays won a number of Gold Gloves starting year one 1958. Who was the second Giant to win? The third?
Man, no idea. Kirt Manwaring? Speier? Fuentes?

Zito has to be one of the answers for "Won Cy prior to playing with the Giants."
RE: Sports trivia thread -

Baker was Manager of the year several times Yes never Bochy
Steve Stone Cy young winner after the Giants
RE: Sports trivia thread -
