  2. Clint Howard, brother of Opie Cunningham, has 183 acting credits, going back to 1963 (according to IMDB). In fact, there are only two years without a Clint Howard credit. One is 1972, name the other. This is the "pick a number out of a hat" question

  6. While Meryl Streep has 15 Oscar nominations, only three of those 15 movies were themselves nominated for Best Picture. Name at least two.
