What on screen distinction is shared by Jimmy Cagney, Donald O'Connor, Errol Flynn, Faye Dunaway and Martin Landau?

Hmm.. I saw this question on a message board last month on another site. The answer is that all of them play a role in a boxing scene:

Cagney in City for Conquest
O'Connor in Frances in the Navy
Flynn in Gentleman Jim
Dunaway in The Champ
Landau in Shiner

These are some great questions... where are you getting them?

Thanks - It's for a trivia contest my sister is working on.

THis is one of the questions I wasn't 100percent sure of.

The answer I gave was that all played actors/actresses who started in silent films. (Lon Chaney Sr. Buster Keaton, Douglas Fairbanks, Joan Crawford and Bela Lugosi, respectively.)

I put that they all portrayed another actor / actress on-screen... I hope that was specific enough.

We'll see how finicky they are! (I was even trying to see if there was something common to Lon Chaney, Joan Crawford, Bela Lugosi, et. al.)
