Ryan O'Neal

Made films the shows talk about.

No film of theirs is counted: acting and studio count only when asked for, so what they drew on and who drew on them comes only from the lines with them at one end. Count them as actor (6 films) instead.

Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

No line says they, or a film of theirs, drew on anything.

Drawn on by
