Mr. Puzzell - I'm ready for my close-up!

In the following three panels you'll find pictures from auto-themed movies, and pictures of actors and actresses. Some are as ordinary as sand, others are almost unknown, or long forgotten. Some of the stars are shown in stills from the movies with which they should be matched. Others are shown in publicity shots or stills from other movies.  

Winning points in this puzzle is done like this. Match the movie still with an actor, an actress, and the title of the movie. No partial point for naming just a star, or just a move. If you want the points, your answer must be complete, and include the name of the actor, the actress and the movie. Each must reference the number they are given in this puzzle.

Points will be awarded once the puzzle is complete.

Enjoy!

It seems you've been waiting on this one  ;D

Movie #1, Actor #7 and Actress #8 are correct.

Hot Rod Gang is not in this puzzle; so as to not to present a gift to the other Puzzlers, I'll tell you you that you've correctly identified one of the players in Movie #6

Movie #3 is Car 99, which starred Actor #5, who is Fred MacMurray, and Actress #2 (I think), which is Ann Sheridan

Movie #4: Dragstrip Riot (1958), also known as The Reckless Age.
Actress #1: Yvonne Lime, as credited in this film, otherwise known as Yvonne Fedderson.
Not certain, but I think the Actor is #4, Gary Clarke.

That's Clark alright, in a screenshot from the film. He usually has darker hair; but since much of this film took place on a beach (and hardly any time was spent at the drag strip), the bleached hair was apropos. Young Ms. Lime (her maiden name), Elvis's one time co-star and dating partner, was perhaps best known for playing Micheal Landon's girlfriend in I Was a Teenage Werewolf

I think that actor #6 isn't Frankie Darro, but Jack Mulhall, in the role of Burn 'em up Barnes

Oops, you're right!

Because Jack Mulhall looks quite different from that in "Burn 'em Up Barnes" I guessed that Actor #6 was Frankie Darro when he was older, and didn't think it would be Mulhall when he was (a bit) younger. :-[

I had searched pictures of Frankie Darro for this puzzle http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18125.0
 So I knew it couldn't be him, but I thought  this guy was Harold Lloyd (without glasses) myself, in the beginning.
