Your movie is "One Way Passage" with Kay Francis and William Powell. It was remade as "Till We Meet Again" with Merle Oberon and George Brent. Mongo

A novice? You could have fooled me Shaina, since your web site of Edward Woods is most informative. Good job! Now we know that the names listed on the tombstone, which I posted below, are of his wife and daughter. I thought the name "Morris" was "Murris" since the "O" on the stone looked like a "U". I'm glad that your research paid off for one of your favorite actors. Mongo

Larry, that sure was an interesting story regarding Miss Mackaill. I must say that you certainly rubbed elbows with the stars which is great. Were you connected to show business in any way? Whatever other recollections you may have concerning the stars is certaily welcom on this thread. Thank you for participating. Mongo

Both Ginger and Fred paid their dues and became big stars and deservedly so. I tend to favor Ginger over Fred since I believe she is more versatile and her films and acting are more to my liking. However as a dancing couple they can't be beat. Smoking? There was nothing more sexy than Joan Crawford as Sadie Thompson with a cigarette hanging from her moist lips. And John Garfield, Clark Gable, Tyrone Power, Robert Taylor all had the ladies swooning as the smoke from their cigarettes billowed up about their handsome faces. Not to forget Bette Davis whose co-star was usually a cigarette which she most certainly enjoyed as we enjoyed watching her go up in smoke. Good stuff. Mongo

Glad it served your purpose Laura and thanks for the additional info Deborah. The more the merrier. Mongo

Very impressive lists throughout the years venerados. And just like with many other lists of its kind, while scanning, I did notice which in my opinion are some missing gemskies including: "The Best Years of Our Lives" "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" "Kings Row" "GWTW" "The Good Earth" "A Tale of Two Cities" "A Place in the Sun" "It's a Wonderful Life" "Marty" "On the Waterfront" "Fargo" Of course there are oodles more that can be debated which makes it fun to discuss. By the way "Casblanca" should be listed in the year 1943. Mongo

bggalaxy, sorry that there were two actresses to choose from with the same name. I usually use the first actress listed on IMDb (which is the silent star). However, what happened to the connection to Harry Smyth? Mongo

To Laura regarding Dorothy Mackaill: Blonde leading lady, sexy, sophisticated, dazzling had the acting bug since she was a child wanting a career in the theater. At first she ended up in London and Paris and eventually to the Zieffeld Follies in New York. After one small film role with C. Aubrey Smith in a British silent she had a busy 16-year career in Hollywood (1921-1937), and in the 1920s was one of Warner Brothers most popular stars. Reviewing "Lady Be Good", one of her biggest hits, Photoplay's critic (expressing the view of millions) wrote: "How Dorothy Mackaill can dance! And what a snappy comedienne!". She ran the gamut from flapper flicks to light romances to dramas to comedies: "Subway Sadie", "Girl from Coney Island", "Smile, Brother, Smile", "The Crystal Cup", "Man Crazy", "Ladies Night in a Turkish Bath", "Shore Leave", "The Flirting Widow", "Once a Sinner", etc. Her own favorite among her films were four: "The Barker", "His Captive Woman", "The Office Wife" with Lewis Stone, and "Safe in Hell" opposite Donald Cook. After over 60 films, her last "Bulldog Drummond at Bay", she left the screen, caring for her invalid mother. She would later make a few TV appearances. She was married and divorced 3 times and luckily, early real-estate investments on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles made her a very wealthy woman. She retired to Honolulu in 1956 and died there in 1990 at the age of 85 (some sources say she was 87). Mongo

To Lolite regarding the Lombardo brothers: I discovered a wealth of information at Google.com for you. Just too numerous to edit on this thread. Just enter Guy Lombardo and it will bring up the Guy Lombardo story (the first link) which includes: Part 1 "A Bunch of Kid Musicians" 1902-1923 Part 2 "An American Success Story" 1924-1954 Part 3 "I Never Get Bored Playing" 1955-1977 A great bio about all the brothers (with some pictures) and includes sister Rose Marie. Enjoy. Mongo

YIKES! Where is the ultimate movie star Joan Crawford? And what about Susan Hayward? I also can't believe that Pacino and De Niro are rated so much lower than Tom Cruise? And Meryl Streep should be much higher on the list! I beginning to think that these pix are a bunch of hogwash. Mongo

Brackenhe, at age 94 Anita Page is still very much alive. I don't recall posting that she was no longer with us? Mongo

Always got a kick out of Dewey prancing around, decked out in leather, in "The Big Sky" and also singing "Oh, Whiskey Leave Me Alone". And like Garbo, at age 82 he prefers to be alone. Hard to believe he was married to Peggy Lee. Mongo

Larry, needless to say I'm glad I was able to provoke the memory of Eugenie Leontovich which inspired you to share that interesting story about her, with us. Since the movie is from 20th Century-Fox I doubt if you'll see it on TCM although it has been shown on the Fox Movie Channel. Mongo

Very interesting stuff Ken. It does bring me back to the old Nabes (Neighborhood Theaters) of my youth and the weekly serials when we jeered the villain and cheered the hero. "Z" for Zorro and "Zowie" for you. Keep up the good work which reminds us of what these boards are all about...the classic stuff. Mongo

Lolite, after doing some research on your request regarding the "Lumbardo" brothers who appeared with Baby Rose Marie, I came up empty. The only brothers listed close to that name was Guy and Carmen Lombardo with no association mentioned to Baby Rose Marie. Of course Guy Lombardo was a renowned orchestra leader and the king of New Years Eve with his famous rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" throughout the years and "the sweetest music this side of heaven" I wonder if it could possibly be those gents. Mongo

Near the end of "Gone With the Wind" when sweet Melanie is dying and she and Scarlett say goodbye to each other. Mongo

It's good to hear from you again GWTW. I hope that you get it all straightened out so you can join us again soon. Mongo

It's my pleasure Moviejoe. In fact as I research the questions that are asked I myself find the info of the stars very interesting as I learn something new regarding their careers and private lives. So keep those questions coming folks and I will be happy to answer them as best I can. And again I encourage members to participate with any tidbits you can offer regarding the subject at hand.

If that were the case TCM should have aired "In Cold Blood". Mongo

Miss Cooper also was harsh as the doubting nun in her Oscar nominated role in "The Song of Bernadette". She was indeed a fine actress. Mongo

After her last movie "Bells Are Ringing" the delightful Miss Holliday continued to dabble on Broadway in shows that didn't make the grade. She battled cancer for 5 years before her untimely death. Although she won a Tony Award her biggest feat came when she beat the formidable Bette Davis in "All About Eve" and "Gloria Swanson" in "Sunset Boulevard" to win the best actress Oscar for "Born Yesterday". By the way she was an inspiration for singer Madonna. Mongo

Venerados, after some research I would say that the lists were thrown out on a sheet of notebook paper. However he did receive a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (he didn't win). Mongo

Cowbtony, that was an informative bit of information regarding Leopoldine Konstantine. And although she was exceptional in the part of Rains' mother I just wonder now how the great Ethel Barrymore would have been in the part. Most likely another Oscar nomination. Mongo
