This actor was in a successful tv comedy in the 1960's, another successful comedy series in the 1970's and another in the late 1970's into the late 1980's. In the first 2 tv shows he was not billed as the lead but was part of the cast. In the last tv show, he was billed as the lead. What were his 3 hit tv shows and who was he ???? Extra credit for the names of the Oscar winner in one show and the Oscar nominee in another show ????

Andre De Toth is not on my radar, but he should be because of how much I've enjoyed his work in the past.
He was Hungarian, born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He directed Randolph Scott westerns, noirs like "Pitfall", which he also wrote, and one of my favorite Richard Widmark movies, "Slattery's Hurricane".
His most famous film was the 3D "House of Wax" starring Vincent Price. And he ended his career directing some of Warner Brothers' most popular TV series like "77 Sunset Strip" and "Maverick".
He was married to 40s bombshell Veronica Lake, whose movies I really liked as a kid--especially, "This Gun for Hire", "So Proudly We Hail" and "Sullivan's Travels".
Lav, thanks for featuring this couple-- because I didn't realize how much of their work I've enjoyed all my life.
Princess, Glad you enjoyed the question about Andre de Toth and Veronica Lake They both hold an important role in classic films. You did a good, detailed job answering. The thread goes back to you.

He was not born in the USA
He was a sometimes actor when he started out. He was a writer and director. He directed a famous horror film, was Oscar nominated his writing of a Western. He directed some well known noirs.
She was an actress. War movies. Comedies, noirs. She had a certain look that became trendy.
Couple and some of their films ???????

I was holding off answering
Stanley Donen and Jeanne Coyne
So many favorites that Stanley directed. Singing In The Rain, Two For the Road, Charade, too many more. He was absolutely brilliant .
Jeanne Coyne was a brilliant dancer, my favorite is Kiss Me Kate , the From This Moment On dance is a favorite

Miles, Don't you think you should pass and let some of these new people get into these questions?
Maybe they have subjects that are more current that they would like to post.
We old boomers maybe should just give them a break, what do you think?
(BTW--I tried to PM you, but your account must be full up.)😁
However, Shutoo. Peebs and occassionally Fauserlitz and Star are our age and yet they are not playing these threads even though they use to. I find that puzzling, well, maybe not so puzzling .

2) Movie Producer - Silk Stockings
3) Fighter Pilot - The Sky's The Limit
4) Songwriter - Three Little Words
6) College Trumpet Player - Second Chorus
For Fred Astaire fans, it's an easy question.
That's also why I only answered 2
Too bad, the posters who say they love Fred and musicals didn't play
