Exactly. Elvis turned down the role of the Teen Angel in Grease. Originally they wanted Elvis . I think Frankie Avalon did a great job as the Teen Angel . Sadly Elvis passed while the film was in production Good work Princess, your thread.

Baubles, Bangles and Beads - Kismet - Ann Blyth Movie song reminds you of summer

The actor who had the role Elvis turned down, had hit singles in the late 1950s and early 1960s and starred in a series of films in the 1960s that are shown on TCM.

This was a very long running hit TV show. The tv show had spin-offs.

You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra ( love this song and the way Nancy sings it ) A group singing the theme song.to a movie

Thanks and Hi, to you Fausterlitz. I'm going to leave the Thread Open

The film was a hit. The pop singer who had the role was a teen idol for awhile much before this film.

Yes, Rowen and Martin's Laugh In was the show. Producer George Schlatter credited his wife Jolene Brand for thinking of Aretha Franklin's Version of Respect's line Sock It To Me as a catchphrase for Laugh In. Can't count how many times and all the celebrity guests said that line on the show Excellent Princess. Your thread .

Thanks Princess, I liked both so much. Next This 60's - 70s comedy tv show used a line from a song that was a huge hit song thats still known today. The line from the song became a well known catchphrase in most episodes of this TV Show. What was the TV Show, what was the song and who sang the song ?????

They all played hypochondriacs in these films Leonardo di Caprio - The Aviator Margaret Dumont - A Day at the Races Rock Hudson - Send Me No Flowers Jack Lemmon - The Odd Couple Barbara Stanwyck - Sorry Wrong Number ????????????

You got it, Miles. Joan Blondell and Mike Todd Yes we've done Joan married to Dick Powell and Mike married to Elizabeth Taylor, but never have we done Joan Blondell and Mike Todd as a married couple. When I was a kid, I use to get Joan Blondell and Ann Sothern mixed up. Both blonde, blue eyed, wisecracking and little in height and both excellent actresses and always a pleasure to watch. I think A Tree Gtows In Brooklyn and Nightmare Alley are my favorite of Joan's performances. Sadly, Mike Todd was only 48 when he died in a plane crash. Good work Miles. Your thread.

Thanks Princess. Next This actor's portrayal of this 1970's tv character is legendary. When asked. he said he based some of the movements, gestures, speech on another actor he had worked with in a film. Who was the actor in the legendary tv role, what was the role and who was the actor he based the character on and what was the film they worked together on ??????? Edited by me

Troy Donohue and Tab Hunter ?? They both made films for Warner Bros . Tab had the better singing career with his hit Young Love , Troy, not so much. My favorite of Tab's films was Damn Yankees. For Troy, Parrish, Summer Place , Susan Slade.His role in Imitation of Life was small, but brutal . Troy's TV show was Surfside 6, Tab had a short lived TV series, The Tab Hunter Show ????????? I always felt bad for how Troy's life turned out although glad that Tab seems to have had a happy life.

Some of the actors she worked with were Tyrone Power, James Cagney, Katharine Hepburn, Clark Gable , Dorothy McGuire

Hsndsome William T. Orr was married to Joy Page who was Jack Warner's stepdaughter. He had roles in The Mortal Storm, My Love Came Back. The Big Street He produced Maverick. 77 Sunset Strip, Hawaiian Eye

Ken Osmond and of course you have to recognize a young Richard Beymer as Rolph as a boy. Next What role in a 1970's musical film did Elvis turn down. Instead a 1950s- early 1960s pop singer got the role. Film, Role, and who did the role in the film ???

Yes. Tommy Rettig and Jon Provost both in the tv show Lassie, both played Jane's son in So Big The 3rd kid was Ken Osmond, he played Elisabeth Fraser's son in So Big. He was also a little boy in So Big he then went on to play Eddie Haskell in Leave It To Beaver. Princess, the thread is all yours and I thought your first answer for 3 kids in the same movie .was excellent

Both were married 3 times He was her 3rd husband and she was his 2nd wife. One of her husbands was a famous actor ( not who this question is about ) one of the wives of the husband was a famous actress ( also not who this question is about)

Thanks Miles Next Three child actors were in a 1950's film. All were in long running 1950s into the 1960 s very popular tv shows. 2 were in the same tv show at different times, the other in another show. Who were the 3 actors. The film they were all in and the 2 tv shows??????

Thanks for the compliment, I'll pass to Princess

Otto Preminger's Skidoo ? Since Princess was correct with Harry Nillson, I think she should have the thread.

Lol, I wanted to use this question, it's a favorite of mine So Big. John Provost as the toddler, he was Timmy on Lassie replacing Jeff who was played by Tommy Rettig on the tv show Lassie. Tommy Rettig as the the 8 year old in the movie . I was going to use this as a question adding another bit of trivia from So Big

Thanks Swithin, the car clue made me think of Mrs.Miniver and Greer Garson and that made me think of lovely Teresa Wright. I can't imagine a sweeter actress than Ms. Wright Next She had 50+ career on the stage, films and TV. In films she played mostly 2n d leads and supporting roles.. She was nominated for a Beat Supporting Actress Oscar. She co-starred in a tv series in the late '60s-70's. He was a theater and film producer. A film he produced won the Beat Picture Oscar in the 1950's. Couple and films for both ?????

Teresa Wright won her Oscar for Mrs. Miniver. Her 1st husband was Niven Busch He wrote the screenplay for The Postman Always brings Twice and Duel In the Sun Her 2nd husband was Robert Anderson, The Nun's Story and I Never Sang For My Father
