The game's question

Read each clue aloud; as soon as the name takes shape, circle it together.

Picture the poster outside the theater, his name in big letters above the title. From 1949 to 1974, this actor was among the ten biggest box-office stars almost every year. Theater owners named him No. 1 four times: in 1950, 1951, 1954, and once more in 1971. Circle his name together.

  • Gary Cooper
  • John Wayne
  • James Stewart
Need a hint?

Say the three last names out loud, slowly. His is one short word that rhymes with “rain” and “train.”

See the answer

Answer: John Wayne—No. 1 at the box office in 1950, 1951, 1954, and 1971.

Why this game : An actor who stayed at the top this long belongs to both of you. Each generation has its own favorite of his movies to talk about.
