Clue/Question: The best employee at the car wash was a – – –
Pre-Answer: Two Words (7-letters) (7-letters)
Answer: SHINING EXAMPLE
(Fun little pun! Reminded me of that ’70s song, which led me to a fun Youtube video, which features a true cinematic classic: “Cool Hand Luke”! It’s remarkable how many of the chain gang went on to have great Hollywood careers. Let’s see how many you guys can spot. I’ll post the video at the bottom of today’s spoiler.
No new clue words today. Four of the jumbles came up as new, but both “sopsig” and “tomino” have been used before. The answer letter layout was nicely challenging. I don’t think it gave away anything. The cartoon is also great, with the Jumble-mobile, and a boss who looks very much like the fully corrupted Walter White! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
Dennis Hopper and Harry Dean Stanton but then I cheated and checked IMDB and no one stood out. Who else became well known? Mind me, those two would’ve been fine and worth the price of the ticket IF Paul and George were there, that is.
Wayne Rogers became very well known, as did Ralph Waite. Both of them were better known for television roles. Lou Antonio was a great character actor for decades. But, Hopper and Stanton were the bigger movie names.
— YUR
They were both great. It’s unbelievable that it took so long for Stanton to have a leading role, but all worthy waiting; Paris, Texas remains one of my all time favorites.
Wasn’t there a movie too?? You have to hand it to the car wash peeps. They work very hard to shine up our autos.
Thanks for your research Unc! LL
