A human, and a car. Each linked to the other, in a Kevin Bacon way. Can you make the connection? It's not that hard, really.

Hint: Ignore the cat. Puss has nothing to do with solving this puzzle.

No points for naming the human and/or the automobile. Only a complte answer, illustrating the connection, takes the point.

Meant to place in PAWF.

Corrected now.

Is that June Allyson?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** June 28, 2011, 12:30:16 PM »

No, not her.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #6 on:** July 15, 2011, 05:13:25 AM »

Her last name rhymes with that of an automobile brand, but that's not the connection.

B W J R

The lady's initials are mingled with those of her well-known spouse; he is the connection to the sedan.

Arunas · « **Reply #8 on:** July 21, 2011, 07:27:53 AM »

Is the connection related to some movie?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** July 21, 2011, 08:33:10 AM »

The car was in a movie.

Arunas · « **Reply #10 on:** July 21, 2011, 09:34:04 AM »

This particular car or only this exact model?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** July 21, 2011, 09:50:31 AM »

Exact model - it's red in the movie.

Red? Hmm.. The man you're reffering to, is not an actor, is he?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2011, 10:39:09 AM »

He is not.

Arunas · « **Reply #14 on:** July 21, 2011, 10:42:49 AM »

Is the movie from the 70s?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** July 21, 2011, 11:58:38 AM »

It is!

Arunas · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2011, 12:02:58 PM »

Is the car really 1972 Ford Custom 500?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2011, 12:04:53 PM »

It is Barbara Ruick, the wife of John Williams, who wrote the music for the Superman movie, where Lois Lane gets caught in her Ford LTD during the earthquake and Superman rescues her.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2011, 12:12:46 PM »

That's some fine Autopuzzlin' there, Wendax!

I'll throw a point Arunas' way for for his effort, and for more accurately identifying the car.

Arunas · « **Reply #19 on:** July 21, 2011, 02:03:35 PM »

Thanks! That's too kind!
