PORT TOWNSEND — Add one more star to the fourth annual Port Townsend Film Festival’s handbill: actress Shirley Knight.

The Film Festival will be held Sept. 26-28.

Knight, a two-time Academy Award nominee, was the correct answer to the festival’s mystery guest contest, in which people tried to guess her identity based on a clues released over the past three Wednesdays.
