Yes, the internet and reference books are a help, but you obviously
have done much studying and research. If you don't have a background
or body of work that you have been involved with for awhile, research on the imdb
or playbill.com can only aid your search to a limited extent.
Thanks for another clue, Dan.

I know. I'm glad to hear she is still active. She'll be 86 in June!
-
Unusual in a good way or a bad way?
-
Glad to hear Jane Russell was going to supply the foreword.

Great link to Sheridan bio info.

Sorry. I always feel the need to edit so that my meaning, spelling and
grammar are correct. Concise sentences and meaning are always a goal!

Florence Bates, the first female lawyer in Texas.
She was great in Rebecca, but best in Saratoga Trunk,
and Saratoga Trunk was also one of Flora Robson's most
unusual characterizations as Angelique Pluton, a major
departure from her role as Queen Elizabeth in The Sea Hawk.

Is that the one where Barbara Stanwyck is unfaithful?
If so, I just didn't remember Douglas' onscreen name.
-
I haven't seen that one.
-
I think that even though A Letter To Three Wives
was his first onscreen credited appearance, he still gave
Linda Darnell a challenge. Lora Mae was a tough dame,
and he "gave as good as he got" in that role.
One of the greatest guys ever on screen.

"I was a character ever since I was born."
What a great line to say about yourself.
I may steal it!
He was born to play a sports character or manager.With Douglas'
persona, he made audiences feel that "I know what I'm talking about."
He had such a short span of productivity, but the performances
he left with us are "top notch."
-
By the way, I forgot to mention earlier that I was TRULY impressed with your
Toby Wing response!
-
I'd say Yaphet Kotto, who is also a Cameroonian prince, but he hasn't won a Tony, nor does he have as many appearances in movies and television. But he was born
in New York City.
This is stumping me, Mr. Dan. Can I have one more clue?
-
Well, since Alec must stay here, I was wondering if anyone had
been able to read any of his autobiographies? He often mentions
many of the filmmakers he worked with, as well as actors of note.
I enjoyed Monsignor Quixote and Little Lord Fauntleroy
as some of his later forays into screen work.
-
Well, since I didn't know that I couldn't move the Alec Guiness thread,
and since I didn't quite realize how upsetting this might become,
would it be possible to just leave the Alec thread here?
-
Thank you so much for this information on the great Paul Douglas.
His portrayal of Porter in A Letter to Three Wives was entertaining,
endearing and genuine. ALTTW is one of my favorites.
The Lula Mae/Porter scenario strikes me as a sort of mini-noir
within the subtext of the main plot.
Paul Douglas is wonderful, and I appreciate the time you took
to organize and prepare this lovely tribute post to him.

I would like to repeat my questions, if you don't take offense to that.
I would just like you to respond to the questions I have asked.
Where would you have this particular thread posted?
How would I change the thread to another section?

You are so right. Ernie Kovacs was a comic genius. He was also good
in Bell, Book and Candle with Jimmie Stewart, Kim Novak, and Tony Randall.
-
I loved Ernie Kovacs, and so did my Dad. But don't remember much
of his first run stuff because I was till a toddler. My son saw Ernie Kovacs
somewhere on t.v. and pestered me to buy one of his videos, and we
just crack up when we watch him.

I posted the Alec thread because his body of work, his "films" per se,
seemed like it belonged here because many of the filmmakers he
worked with had a more international background. If the TCM Web
Administrators feel that this thread should be moved, please
email me and let me know how and where to properly post this
thread. Even though this thread has been in existence for awhile,
there has only been one complaint.
Have any Alec Guiness fans read his autobiographies? I have found
them entertaining, informative, and self-deprecating. He humbles
himself, yet elevates his profession, both on film and stage.
-
You are correct, sir.
Dan, you are the man!
-
Sorry, Gilda, but no.
This actress in question was a friend of Jack Oakie at one time,
and had some credited and uncredited moments in popular
pre-codes.
-
I am thinking of an actress whose career consisted of many uncredited walk-ons,
yet she also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She might
also be considered one of the "most-engaged" starlets of her day,
but also had a happy marriage. One of her post-Hollywood careers
was as a real estate agent.
