9. Montgomery Clift ???

But Monty fell into none of Hollywood’s established roles–a square peg surrounded by round holes.

I searched for ages to find out which actor owned ' The Corner House'  last night, i thought that would be a fairly easy one to find. I couldn't find anything, very frustrating!

Could this be the one???

5. Which actor’s Beverly Hills home was called The Corner House, after his sporting nickname?*

Sir Charles Aubrey Smith KBE, CBE (21 July 1863 – 20 December 1948), known to movie-goers as C. Aubrey Smith, was an English cricketer and actor. He was knighted by King George VI in 1944 for services to the theatre.

His oddly curved bowling run-up gave him the nickname "Round the Corner Smith".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Aubrey_Smith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Aubrey_Smith)

also...

Actor C. Aubrey Smith was, so far as many American moviegoers were concerned, the very personification of the British Empire. Even so, when young English journalist Alistair Cooke first travelled to Hollywood in the early 1930s to interview Smith, it was not to discuss the actor's four decades in show business, but to wax nostalgic on his athletic career. The son of a London surgeon, Smith played soccer for the Corinthians and cricket for Cambridge. For four years, "Round the Corner Smith" (so named because of his unique playing style) was captain of the Sussex County Cricket Club, playing championship matches throughout the Empire.

I bet you found that in like 2 seconds too...

Unfortunately not... it took me hours. I was searching yesterday to no avail; and it took me about 2 hours today. I really don't know why I am investing so much time in such 'low return' competitions.  :?

Probably because I like doing some research  :D

here's a pic for question 7
