Good Monday to you FoCers. It's been a busy day for me and promises to be even busier tomorrow, so here we go! Is Katharine Hepburn the only actress ever to win four Academy Awards for Best Actress? Now Kate is one of my all-time favorite actresses and people. She was one heck of a dame!
You said: I don't know what DogDoc was thinking in saying Kate never won an Oscar. Maybe just trying to throw everyone else off the scent. The Calendar Cameramen say this: It's FACT! "'Katharine the Great' achieved this feat -- and the four golden Oscar statues -- over a period of years. She won the awards for 'Morning Glory' (1933), 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' (1967), 'The Lion in Winter' (1968), and 'On Golden Pond' (1981). The only other actress to win more than twice is Ingrid Bergman, with two Best Actress Oscars (and one for Best Supporting Actress)." BTW, Spencer Tracy played opposite her in 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' for which she won the award in 1967. In 1968, she tied with Barbara Streisand (for 'Funny Girl'). Elizabeth Taylor has been nominated five times, but only won twice. She also received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in 1993. Okay, here comes a new one -- a much more serious one, I have to say:
More then 2 million civilians have died as a result of the Sudanese civil war. FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Fact, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is crap due to there being more than 2 million.

wow, i would hope it was crap because it's crappy if it's fact. but i'll guess fact. and you were right to remind this FOC'er that spencer tracy was also in 'guess who's coming to dinner'. i had their 40's and 50's movies in mind, i guess, like 'pat and mike' and some of their classic films.

Fact Lion In Winter is one of my favourite Katharine Hepburn movies. Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner is my other. Sidney Poitier was my favourite actor as well as Spencer Tracy in Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner. However, Judgement At Nuremburg is my all time favourite Spencer Tracy film and it was also his last film.

both wars together? the one from 1955 - 1972 and the one from 1983 until 2005? or just the last one? and, are you counting those that died of starvation as a result or the actual conflict itself? well, accounts do vary from report to report and it is all just an estimate anyway. so, i'll go with the second one (1983 - 2005) and include those that starved and say most definitely a hard cold fact. very sad.

Chaplin, 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner' was Tracy's last movie. He died just a few days/weeks after his scenes were finished.

Y'know... I did a bit of research. Is the the second civil war? Or both wars combined? The second civil war officially ended in January 2005, when a peace treaty was signed. That said, presumably, this civil war rates second highest in overall deaths, second only to the World Wars I and II. I'm coming up with a number slightly less than 2 milliono, but I'll keep it as FACT anyways!

If it's Tuesday, this must be. . . FoCer territory! The current question is: Have more than 2 million civilians died as a result of the Sudanese civil war? Unfortunately, you all got this one right. It's amazingly sad, but true. For the record, here's what the Calendar Corps says: It's FACT! "the United Nations estimates more than 2 million Sudanese people have died as a result of the civil war between the north and south over the last 17 years. Even now, 300 Sudanese die every day as a result of war-related causes, and more than 4.5 million citizens (nearly 80% of the soutnern Sudanese population) have been forced to flee their homes. This massive loss of life surpasses the civilian death toll in any war since World War II."
More information When I read stuff like this, all I can think of is a hymn called "God Weeps." It's amazingly sad what people are capable of doing to each other. Okay, moving along to something that seems completely trivial (and is). . . Here's the new question:
Titanic boasts the highest box office take in movie history worldwide. FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Wanna know whats nuts?? My morning radio guys were just talking about the top five grossing box office movies this morning and I can not remember how the list went, LOL! Since Mark kept saying, "Luke, I am your father." I'm going to say Crap, it was Star Wars, lol.

I'm going with fact, because I think the key is in the words "box office take." Star Wars made a lot of money outside of the box office in DVDs, videos, etc.
