Hi all, was out for most of the day so couldnt get any groups up.
I was very impressed with Ana de Armas in the Bond movie 'No Time To Die' but it wasnt enough for her against a very popular Summer Glau. Lauren Bacall squeezes by Steve Martin in a tight finish and Tim Robbins gets in with a difficult to pick casting vote.
Here we are with the final batch for Round 1. It just happened that the final slot in the draw went to Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy as the only duo selected. I just couldnt split them up!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results:
Samuel L. Jackson 13 v 1 Richard Widmark
Tim Robbins 8* v 7 Christian Slater
Ana de Armas 5 v 9 Summer Glau
Lauren Bacall 7 v 6 Steve Martin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round 1 - Matches 253 - 256
Cate Blanchett - In 2009, she was among four Oscar-winning Australian actors to be immortalized onto postage stamps in their home country. Each of the actors has two stamps, showing them both in and out of character.

Spencer Tracy - Warner Bros. bought the rights to the book "Mute Witness", about a Boston detective who ate a lot of ice cream and never solved a case, with Tracy in mind to star. Upon his death, a chase scene was added to the script, the location changed to San Francisco, and the character--Detective Frank Bullitt--changed to be played by Steve McQueen. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000075/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Stan Laurel / Oliver Hardy - Throughout their association with Hal Roach, L&H had separate contracts, with Stan's salary being considerably higher than Hardy's. This didn't bother Hardy one bit, as he acknowledged that Stan did much more than he during the making of their films. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491048/?ref_=tt_ov_st https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001316/?ref_=tt_ov_st

Keanu Reeves - Laurel and Hardy did do a lot in the Early Years of Hollywood, but you'd have to wonder how they would have faired as a single act.

ROUND 1 IS NOW COMPLETE!
There were 64 batches and @quickbeam deserves a special mention for voting in all 64. @Zaph and @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick managed 62.
Diamonds of Frost joined in for only 2 votes but hopefully will come back for more.
I had to use my casting vote on just 8 occasions helping James Gandolfini, Emma Thompson, Peter Falk, Errol Flynn, Tom Cruise, Rachel Griffiths, Michael Sheen and Robert Mitchum to progress.
