I always think of that line Dustin Hoffman says in Tootsie, "I did it for the work". Many actors and actresses from the Golden Age of cinema appeared in many tv shows in the 1960's- 2000. All you have to do is watch Murder She Wrote and there will always be at least one famous classic actor appearing. Ray Milland on Hart To Hart or Columbo. Columbo is an example of seeing familiar faces for the classic film fan. Taking roles in lesser films the way Joan Crawford did, etc. was for the work, being in the limelight and the money. I enjoy seeing these older stars not fade away even if some of the films were schlock they were in.

Tom, excellent post and I agree. Joseph Cotten's performance in Shadow of a Doubt cannot be overlooked. He is very effective as the seriel killer and you're right under Hitchcock's direction and Joseph Cotten's understated yet chilling performance, Uncle Charlie is a very frightening character .Cotten was an excellent actor in every film I've seen him in and the whole cast was great. Without a doubt, Shadow of a Doubt, is a terrific film.

Miss W excellent post. Part of the reason and probably the most important reason why Uncle Charlie committed the murders is explained by his sister. When Charlie was 10, he was in a serious bicyle accident, they thought he would die. Emma tells us that after the accident he became shy and withdrawn not speaking. I'm pretty sure that the point was Charlie was brain damaged and changed in some way that eventually turned him in a serial killer,

Excellent Miles. You got everyone of that fantastic cast and their relatives. I loved the tv show Family, watched it every week. Great work Miles, your thread

The tv show won 4 Emmys. I for the Lead Actress, 2 for one of the co-stars, 1 for another co-star. Many nominations. Very well respected tv show.

I was waiting for you to answer Princess. I did recognize the show and Hermione Gingold ( although Glynis Johns first came mind) I saw A Little Night Music in the 1970's when I still lived in NY. it's interesting because I don't remember much except that I'm sure William Daniels was in the show . but I just can't remember for some reason. I'm still friends with the guy I saw a Little Night Music with, I'll call him this week-end and ask, he's bound to remember. Having a total senior moment on this. At any rate, good question Swithin and good work Princess

1970's tv show

I was pretty sure after the first clue who were asking about, the 2nd clue clinched it for me, however, I'd like to see if someone else can answer this one. If not I'll post my guess.

The theme music to the show was composed by one of the recurring cast members. The same cast member composed another theme song for the show in subsequent seasons of the show.

Loved the original Magnum PI theme music by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter. Peter Gunn, Mannix, Route 66, Adventutes In Paradise, Perry Mason, 77 Sunset Strip and I love The Simpsons opening theme music and exit music. Always especially loved the Mr. Lucky theme song

Yes that too, and you're such a cutie it probably worked for you. but he was such a sympathetic character I think that's what got him all that adoration from the girls.

This drama tv show in the classic time period had an interesting and excellent cast. 4 out of the 5 main roles were played by actors who had family members who were famous in their own right. Another actor who had a famous relative showed up on the show in a recurring role This was a highly regarded tv show.
TV show, name the 4 in the cast plus the one with the recurring role and their relatives and the relationships ????????????

Really 1/2? Considering how many early films there are, that's impressive. I think Saboteur was probably one of the first Hitchcock films I've seen, probably watched it a dozen times when I was a young girl. Weird that your film school friends wouldn't know that film and shot of Norman Lloyd falling from the Stautue of Liberty. Well, it's good you now know the film.

Growing up in NY, Saboteur was shown often on tv. I would think it must have been shown other places too. Not sure why you think it's not a known film? The scene of Norman Lloyd falling from the Statue of Liberty is iconic in film history., I don't think Saboteur is one of Hitchcock's lesser known films. If I had to guess, I'd probably guess Stage Fright is not as well known as some of his other films.

I had the pleasure of seeing this performer live on the straw hat circuit after watching her on TV variety shows singing and dancing-- Carol Lawrence. Carol created the role of Maria on Broadway in "West Side Story"and also starred in "Subways Are For Sleeping".
Carol's second husband was one of the greatest popular singers of the latter part of the 20th century, Robert Goulet. He became a star on Broadway in "Camelot", playing Sir Lancelot. He stopped the show with what would become his signature song, "If Ever I Would Leave You" by Lerner and Loewe.
Carol was nominated for a Tony for "West Side Story" and her husband won a Tony for "The Happy Time."
Lav, great question about a beautiful and talented, though ill-fated, couple.
Princess, absolutely Carol Lawrence and Robert Goulet. Both were so talented and so familiar to all of us growing up in the 1960's. We were all so surprised when they divorced. Robert is gone and Carol will be 89 in September. We remember when they were young and beautiful.Thanks for the compliment, glad you enjoyed the question. Your thread Princess

Damn, usually somebody has to mention Ben Mango-wax or insult Judi Dench to have a thread topic hit the ground running like this!!
PS, that was auto correct, but it tickles me and I’m going to leave it.
About a year ago I started a thread about movie theme songs and tv theme songs that fit perfectly. Same thing happened, pages and a ton of replies. It's a fun topic, a topic doesn't always have to be mean spirited to get participation.

I'll pass. Thread Open

Thanks Princess

He was an actor and singer. He only appeared in a few films but was seen a lot on tv shows in the classic time period. He was known as a Broadway star and popular singer. He had hit songs, especially one that was his signature song.
She was an actress and singer. Not known for her film work but more so for her Broadway and tv work.
Couple and some of their famous Broadway shows and what was the husband's famous song ???????

I absolutely loved Mad Men. I watched it after the series had almost finished; meaning, I didn't catch it when it was first aired , I actually took out the DVD sets from my local video rental place (which still exists !) and binged on it that way. I couldn't stop watching it, and when I wasn't watching it, I was thinking about it. All the characters are so finely drawn, so real. You care about all of them, even the dislikeable ones. Mad Men had everything...great, unforgettable characters, fascinating storylines, authentically recreated '60s culture, really funny moments, really sad ones. Great show, one of the best of the kind of "streamed" television series that are now hugely common, but were still unusual for the time they came out.
Mad Men is my favorite tv show of ALL TIME. I watched the show from the time it first aired and have seen every episode many times but not in a long time. Brilliant casting, brilliant writing, the look of the show, the sets, the clothes, very authentic. Matthew Weiner is an incredible talent. His work on The Sopranos and Mad Men proves that. Everything about Mad Men was perfect. Years ago we had lengthy conversations about the show. Some of us even wrote stories about the characters, that was a lot of fun. I'd love to rewatch the show again, I don't think I'd ever get tired of watching Mad Men.

Hint#2--
The husband was known for his voice.
The wife's father was a movie mogul.
I'll try James Mason and Pamela Mason ? They fit your clues.
For James- North By Northwest, Lolita, A Star Is Born, Pandora and The Flying Dutchman (love this film). Too many more to mention, he certainly was a great actor with a beautiful speaking voice.
For Pamela - Pandora and The Flying Dutchman, I Married A Murderer, Everything You always Wanted To Know About Sex, But Were Afraid To Ask, Lady Possessed
Pamela's father was Isidore Ostrer, the family controlled Gaumont British Studios. Pamela and James had 2 children, Both James and Pamela were born in England.

This couple was born abroad, both were acting in movies.
In addition to acting, the wife also produced and wrote for the movies.
The husband was a top flight international movie star whose versatility made him a leading man much in demand. Nominated several times for the Oscar, his career spanned 6 decades.
They had two children together.
Hint: The husband starred in a Hollywood Hitchcock movie.
When you identify this couple, also list a couple of films for each of them.
Princess, found this on page 3. Please, would you give us another clue, Thanks

I disagree. I remember that commercial and thought it was great seeing Ann. I have no problem with any of these stars plugging products. Times change, tastes change, stars get older and if they wanted or needed to make money doing the ads, good for them.
