Karen Gillan convincingly beats Sally Hawkins but all the others could have gone either way.
One very tricky one to decide in the next set. Well it would be for me anyway.

Mel Brooks - Claims the most flattering thing to happen to him during his long show business career was when Hedy Lamarr sued the producers of Blazing Saddles (1974) over the similar-sounding name of one of the lead characters ("Hedley Lamarr", who is mistakenly addressed as "Hedy", to his annoyance) because Brooks believes it is unusual for a "big name" actor to pay so much attention to such details. The suit was settled out of court. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000316/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
-----------------------------------------------------------
Laura Linney - Loves Meryl Streep. In The Truman Show (1998), her character was named Meryl and Laura was made up to look like her.

Kenneth Branagh - The last film he made with Emma Thompson was Much Ado About Nothing (1993). Their roles had previously been played in an earlier film by Robert Stephens and Maggie Smith, who were also a couple at the time.

------------------------------------------------------------
Gene Hackman - After initially turning down the role of Little Bill Daggett in Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven (1992), Hackman finally accepted it, as its different slant on the western interested him. For his performance he won the Oscar and Golden Globe and decided that he wasn't tired of westerns after all.

Bill Murray - He is a diehard Chicago Cubs fan. During the Cubs playoff run in 2003, he was on location in Italy, but he had it written into his contract that he'd get a satellite feed of the playoffs. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000195/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Reese Witherspoon - She collects antique linens and is crazy about old embroidery.
