6 Sally Field, lol I still fell in love with her in Smokey and the Bandit :)

8 Robert Benton

11 I'll take a guess at "The Man Who Knew Too Much" as the film I'm thinking off is an Alfie Hitchcock one so i'm hoping it was before Moores era

22 I can think of other things for FA but I wont say them :P instead I'll say Fred Astaire
