What I'm noticing while playing this game is that every human who was alive in the late 70s and early 80s was on Fantasy Island and The Love Boat! Seriously, every name that looks vaguely familiar on imdb from those years was on those 2 shows. Those shows sucked, but apparently everybody in Hollywood wanted to be on them.
Due up: Keepin' it old school with Clark Gable.
Clark Gable was in "Run Silent, Run Deep" with Burt Lancaster
Burt was in "From Here to Eternity" with Ernest Borgnine and Frank Sinatra
Ernest was in "Mr. White Death" and Frank was in "Laura"
The beach scene in "From Here to Eternity" was shot a few miles from Robin's Nest.
Next up a man from my hometown, Peter O'Toole
