[[Signoret and McQueen were also in 'Toys in the Attic']]

[[Faye Dunaway also appeared in 'Flowers in the Attic' (1987), but I can't find even a tenuous connection with anyone else]]

[[Apologies for misunderstanding - I thought you'd put the parentheses around the back half of the full title of the film to indicate that only part of it was to be found in the puzzle, "as in 6a". I'll include a link to the last answer at the very end of the blog.]]

[[Thanks scchua; I thought my comment 'Lawrence Harvey who appeared in ROOM (at the top) as in 6a' indicated that it showed ROOM at the top of the grid. I'll have to be more specific in future.

I don't think I will get the 'more general and basic link;' I think my Don Quixote deserves an honourable mention. ]]

[[Well done, yvains, AndrewC, and Robi. Only one left - a more general and basic link. It is Margot Fonteyn, but I could have put in pictures of many others with the same connection. And did you notice ROOM was at the top of the grid - and you can find one at the top of HOUSES too (the sub-link).]]

And welcome back Stella – we can now expect to see more comments from you?

Lively puzzle that I thought was pretty tricky for a Quiptic.

Thanks scchua for your usual immaculate blog. I particularly liked the ARMHOLES and thought the little PERISHER was cleverly hidden.

[[Both Steve McQueen (#2) and Faye Dunaway (#4) were in the Thomas Crown Affair with the connection to WINDMILLs as found by AndrewC @3.
#1 is Lawrence Harvey who appeared in ROOM (at the top) as in 6a.
#2 is Simone Signoret who also appeared in ROOM (at the top)
#5 is Margot Fonteyn, I think. Can’t see the connection – she had an unworthy husband, but he was her first, I believe.

Thanks for the link, scchua – it’s a pity I can’t see the full-size pictures.

I’m back in Spain after over a month in England with my family, though I have been popping in to the site at my sister Marian’s

Hi, Stella, nice to see a comment from you after a long absence. There’s more from the artist here: http://gallery4collectors.com/octavioocampo.htm

[[I'm afraid the only picture with the "GODDESS" connection is the last one - though one could consider the others as pin-ups and gods and goddesses of sorts.]]
