Name association game

[Irish Kathy]

As I was playing the Name Game, it suddenly occured to me that we could take it to a whole new level. Why couldn't we make it into an ASSOCIATION GAME as well. That way, it could make it just a bit more challenging. It could also make the game a whole lot more fun.

For Example:

Katherine Hepburn is always associated with Spencer Tracey

if we want to start with Katherine Hepburn I would chose
Rock Hudson (Bringing Up Baby, a fun little movie)

I know that movie, I've seen it several times.

And I'll have to add Cary Grant, even when he's in a serious movie, he winds up doing his scenes with alot of humor.

Alfred Hitchcock as Grant starred in a couple of his movies.

Hi rrp

Ebsen received critical acclaim for his 1961 role as Doc Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's, having portrayed the older rural veterinarian deserted by his young wife, Holly, played by AUDREY HEPBURN. This role brought him to the attention of the casting director of The Beverly Hillbillies.

Truman Capote wrote the Novella "Breakfast at Tiffany's." He was a contemporary of Flannery O'Connor, but she wasn't particularly fond of his writing, perhaps. He was at "Yaddo" a mansion for writers and artists in 1946, and she was there in 1948. (I should add that they both wrote their first novels at "Yaddo." His was "Others Voices, Others Rooms" and hers was "Wise Blood.")

They both liked Edgar Allan Poe's stories, but then my mom liked Edgar Allen Poe's stories!

Makes me think of John Cardinal O'Connor former Cardinal of the New York Archdiocese. (it doesn't need to be film related, does it?)

I can help you with that. I found this onlineby a poster to a quote by Flannery O'Connor:

Presently I am reading Hidden Manna by James T. O'Connor and this quote in total is recalled in the Forward written by John Cardinal O'Connor. Greenberg is quite fair in his use of the famous quote but in O'Connor's book it takes on a fuller application.

Paul Greenberg writes: "When does a symbol become a Symbol, a Presence? Flannery O'Connor came closest to answering that question in one of her splendid letters" [from a 1955 letter to "A"]:

I was once, five or six years ago, taken by some friends to have dinner with Mary McCarthy and her husband, Mr. Broadwater. (She just wrote that book, "A Charmed Life.") She departed the Church at the age of 15 and is a Big Intellectual. We went at eight and at one, I hadn't opened my mouth once, there being nothing for me in such company to say. . . . Having me there was like having a dog present who had been trained to say a few words but overcome with inadequacy had forgotten them.

Well, toward morning the conversation turned on the Eucharist, which I, being the Catholic, was obviously supposed to defend. Mrs. Broadwater said when she was a child and received the host, she thought of it as the Holy Ghost, He being the most portable person of the Trinity; now she thought of it as a symbol and implied that it was a pretty good one. I then said, in a very shaky voice, Well, if it's a symbol, to hell with it.

That was all the defense I was capable of but I realize now that this is all I will ever be able to say about it, outside of a story, except that it is the center of existence for me; all the rest of life is expendable.

I'm trusting this information, second-hand ... I mean about the forward from the Cardinal!

My answer is John Cardinal O'Connor. [I think association means that the name causes you to think of another name Is this how we play? I don't want to be a thread killer so soon]

going back to Flannery O'Connor she is often spoken of in relation to Tennessee Williams who is also a southern author. I think he also died from a long lingering illness like Flanery O'Conner with her lupus. They both enjoyed satyrising the uptightness in southern american culture. O'Conner from a catholic perspective and Williams from a baptist one. The only link I know of with Cardinal O'Connor is that they all were Irish Americans.

A favorite story of O'Connor's of mine is one about 2 baptist boys who decided to convert 2 local Catholic girls on a back porch in the hot southern summer by singing some old camp songs from their church. They asked the girls to sing a Catholic song to which the two who attended a catholic boarding school run by nuns intone Pange Lingua Gloriosi.To which the boys respond with "what kinda jew talk is that?"

For those of you who were wondering, my original intent was that the game was suppose to be people who were related in some way. It can be anyone you want it to be. Sorry for the confusion. I thought I made it clear, but obviously I didn't explain myself well enough.

Tennessee Williams won a Pulitzer Prize for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1955.

The person I'm going to add is Elizabeth Taylor because she became very famous for her role in the movie version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
