A Beautiful Dinner

Q:


Consider this sentence:

The newlywed began to scurry around the kitchen, hoping to create a meal that her husband would really brag about to her in-laws.

Replace two words with synonyms without changing the meaning of the sentence.  These two words, phonetically, will name a famous movie actor.

A:

The title is similar to the movie A Beautiful Mind.  The image calls to mind the sound dried leaves make.

The newlywed began to rustle around the kitchen, hoping to create a meal that her husband would really crow about to her in-laws.

Russell Crowe

    She should take it slow -- that lowers ulcers.

      Yes, but not so slow that a livestock thief makes off with the key ingredient first.

      And a livestock thief might be a cow rustler.

      Food for thought / Dinner for Mind, echoing the format of the recent title: This for That.

    Uh, Tommy Boy...

    In your clue photo, why do you show ONLY ONE dried up, fallen leaf? Don't you need more than one, quite a few actually, and maybe a little wind also, to make a <clue word> of leaves?
