1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thank You Girls (2008)?
a.
Ricky Davao
was considered to play Carlos. But Davao schedule problem forced him to back out from the project.
b.
Warner Bros. would only finance the film on the condition that
Stanley Kubrick
cast a Top 10 Box Office Star (from the annual Quigley Poll of Top Money-Making Stars) in the lead.
Ryan ONeal
was the #2 Box Office Star of 1973, topped only by
Clint Eastwood
. Ironically, this was his only time in the top 10, as exhibitors - who voted the list - attributed the success of
Love Story
(one of the top grossers at the time) to ONeals co-star
Ali MacGraw
, and named her to the list in 1971. The other top 10 stars were 3.
Steve McQueen
, 4.
Burt Reynolds
, 5.
Robert Redford
, 6.
Barbra Streisand
, 7.
Paul Newman
, 8.
Charles Bronson
, 9.
John Wayne
, and 10.
Marlon Brando
. Thus, the only actors Kubrick could cast in the role and receive Warners financial backing for his decidedly noncommercial project were ONeal and Redford. The other Top 10 stars were too old or inappropriate for the role (particularly in the case of #6, who would not assay a "male" role until
Yentl
in 1983). Both ONeal and Redford were ethnically Irish, both had box office appeal, and both were young enough to play the role, though Redford was five years older than the 32-year old ONeal in 1973. At the time, ONeal was the bigger star, having also garnered a Best Actor Oscar nomination for "Love Story". However, Kubrick apparently offered the part to Redford first, but he turned it down, and thus ONeal was cast. Redfords star would soon eclipse ONeals, as he would zoom to the top of the Box Office charts the next year after the successes of
The Sting
and
The Way We Were
, clocking in at #1 in 1974, a position he also would anchor in 1975 and 1976. ONeal dropped off the Top 10 list after 1973. His 73 appearance to this day, represents his sole appearance on that premier barometer of box office success for a thespian.
c.

The scalping scene had to be trimmed in order to get an R rating.
