Easy Points - Give The Lady What She Wants - Solved!

Otto Puzzell · September 04, 2011, 08:30:11 AM

Eight stars of the silver screen, and eight automobiles. How are they connected? In some cases, the car starred with the lady in a motion picture. In some cases, they were hired to promote cars. Some happened to own one of the cars.

To score a point, link one of the ladies (by name) with one of the automobiles (by name) and provide a corroborating photograph that links the two.

No points for identifying an actress (most are pretty easy for film buffs), a car (all are pretty well-known autos), or for identifying a match with a corroborating photo.

See? Easy! :D

First, the ladies:
