With no explanation, label text_A→text_B with either "DON'T KNOW", "NO" or "YES".
text_A: After Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster, and Rock Hudson turned down the title role in "Ben-Hur" (1959), Heston accepted the role, winning the Academy Award for Best Actor, one of the 10 Oscars the film earned, putting it in third place for Oscar wins at that time. After Moses and "Ben-Hur", Heston became more identified with Biblical epics than any other actor. He later voiced Ben-Hur in an animated television production of the Lew Wallace novel in 2003.
text_B: If you had heard, and fully believed, that West Side Story had won 11 Oscars, would this passage cause you to conclude that the musical could have been released prior to 1959?
YES.
