Okay, lets see if anyone can answer this seasonal trivia question, about a specific accomplishment: Clark Gable, Shirley MacLaine, Diane Keaton, Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, and Colin Firth are among the select group of stars to have done it three times. Sir Laurence Olivier, Marlon Brando, Robert Redford, Robert De Niro, Gene Hackman, Ben Affleck, Danny de Vito, and Leonardo DiCaprio are some of the larger group to have pulled it off twice. Audrey Hepburn, Sidney Poitier, Natalie Wood, Woody Allen, Sly Stallone, Donald Sutherland, Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, Jodie Foster, and Elijah Wood are among the many who have managed it a single time in their careers (to this point, at least). Katherine Hepburn, Jane Fonda, Sissy Spacek, Denzel Washington, and Daniel Day-Lewis have NEVER done it. Got it? Or need more hints? Herere a few more anecdotal facts: Gable, Streep, Sir John Gielgud, Russell Crowe and John Goodman are among the very small handful of people to accomplish this twice in a row. Matt Dillons done it once - but his brother Kevin beat him to it by almost 20 years. Both times that Danny de Vito did it, Jack Nicholson did it with him. Martin Sheens done it twice - but people would be more likely to remember the one time Charlie Sheen did it. Johnny Depp and Forrest Whitaker actually did it together, but nobody would know this. Jack Nicholson is the only star (as far as I know) to have done it four times - but it took a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo, as himself, to reach that achievement. Dan Aykroyd (once) is the only Saturday Night Live alum to do it. Okay, thats enough. Who can figure out what achievement Im describing? Just shout it out when you know. Answer tomorrow if no one gets it. (Someone probably will.)
