Jennifer Jones and Isabelle Hupert

Emma Bovary

Wait, is the Portman/Redgrave thing coming from the school of thought that Star Wars was influenced by Arthurian Legends therefore Padme = Guinevere? If so, that's streeeeetching it, but hee, points for creativity.

ETA:

Anastasia

Yeap! Ryan voiced the character in the animated version.

Ha. No. Vanessa Redgrave did play Anne Boleyn, very early in her career, in "A Man for All Seasons." Her role is quite minor, but I just saw the movie the other day and spend a good bit of time IMDBing all the actors, so it was fresh on my mind.

Wow. I've seen A Man for all Seasons at least a couple of times yet I do not remember Redgrave in it at all. Probably because Redgrave is usually so blonde and tall and statuesque and I always think of Boleyn as small and swarthy and lithe.

How about Peter O'Toole and... Peter O'Toole (same character, two totally unrelated movies: extra point for naming the character and both movies without looking them up!)

Alec Baldwin & Harrison Ford

You also don't remember her because she's in it for a very small amount of time. Grand total maybe 5 minutes, if that. Considering how much of the plot centers around her existence, she doesn't play a very important role in the film.

Colin Firth and John Malkovich

Alec Baldwin & Harrison Ford

Jack Ryan?

Alec Baldwin & Harrison Ford

Jack Ryan

Alec Baldwin & Harrison Ford

The guy in that movie by that guy.

Clear and Present Danger. What the hell is his name?

Right?

eta: Apparently it's Jack Ryan.

Colin Firth and John Malkovich

Valmont?

Yep. One in 1988 one in 1989. Both very good films. Weirdness.

I could have used the same movies (plus that adaptation whose name is slipping my mind) to say:

Annette Bening and Glenn Close and Sarah Michelle Gellar

or

Uma Thurman and Faruza Balk and ...memfault, that girl who I usually kind of like...

or

Meg Tilly and Michelle Pfeiffer and Reese Witherspoon
