Hahaha, the Wildcard X should make up for the Q!

And it looks like I will get stuck with the Z again!

From Adam Faith's Filmography page:
Jackie Collins-scripted nonsense which follows the misfortunes of washed-up footballer McShane, as he struggles against all the odds to stage a comeback. Collins just uses the football as a backdrop for her usual glossy melodrama without even attempting to add an ounce of authenticity. Her own spin on the world of football is enough to put anyone off sport for life, while McShane looks oddly uncomfortable in his boots..

Stars Suzanne Sommers

Written and directed by Peter Greenaway. I can't find too much info on this movie but I assume it is a short documentary about Zandra Rhodes, the fashion designer.

You could have grabbed the X but I'm glad you didn't. And this morning I remembered that I could take the Y a well to help finish off this round. I think another Six Degrees of Heath Round would be nice.

A Six Degrees of Heath Round works for me! Let's go for it...

I think everyone remembers the rules, right? Movies from 1930-2007, with some connection to Heath.

I'll get right on the job with updating the archive...

Heath starred in Casanova with Jeremy Irons, who also starred in And Now Ladies and Gentlemen with the very beautiful French pop star Patricia Kaas.

I found a youtube of her singing "If You Go Away" ("Ne me quitte pas") and scenes from the film:

Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who often reminds me of Heath, and who can also be seen with him in 10 Things I Hate About You.

Mel Gibson did the voice of Rocky in Chicken Run; he also starred with Heath in The Patriot.

Kris Kristofferson played the narrator in I'm Not There with Heath, and also starred in Dance with Me.

Stars Cate Blanchett & Geoffrey Rush who co-stared with Heath in I'm Not There and Candy respectively. Also the film's director is Shekar Kapur who directed Heath in The Four Feathers...and I won't get into the other connection he has.

I picked this poster because I had never seen it before and because Chris Eccleston (isn't it?) looks mighty fine on it.
