LOL Tom, yes also Mr Muckle in WC's grocery store ( although, that scene with Mr. Muckle would probably get complaints now) It's really something special when kids see the humor and as adults still find it hilarious and I do.
Growing up in NY we had Million Dollar Movie, besides the Early and Late Show, Joe Franklin, Chiller Theater and some more. Million Dollar Movie would show the same film at least twice a day fora week. Can't say how many times I watched Mighty Joe Young and Great Expectations and so many Fred and Ginger movies on Million Dollar Movie, also watched a lot of Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Karloff as Frankenstein and Lon Chaney Jr as The Wolfman. The Early Show use to show Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan movies all the time. I remember seeing Devil Doll a ton of times too.

How could I forget, ever since I was a little girl, my sister and I would watch Easter Parade every year. It's a tradition with me, so, I still watch it every year. Another that's a tradition with me and my kids is Bell, Book and Candle.
Tiki, I watch 2001, but maybe every 5+ years or so. Angels In the Outfield is one i try to watch whenever it's shown. I forgot, A Letter To Three Wives and I especially forgot All About Eve, that's another I've watched since I was a kid and still watch, never get tired of it. Also Now Voyager. More that I watched as a kid and loved and still watch are It's A Gift and Marx Brothers, probably Duck Soup and Night At the Opera most often. When I was a kid, my best friend and I would watch It's A Gift and laugh so much till it hurt.

Bring a little lightness into every day. Had no idea there were so many. I was thinking of a companion thread for the ends of names, but I could not think of the corresponding term. I don't think it's rhyme because it's only the last sound.
I wonder if there's an alliterative name that's spelled differently.
May not be alliterative but there's always Harry Carey!

Well, think I'm done, gave 40 names LOL. Believe me, this was easier than a lot of the trivia questions we answer in games and trivia. Thanks Slaytonf, I had fun with this.

My first thought was Lisa Gerritsen, who played William Windom's daughter in My World and Welcome to It before her better known role as Cloris Leachman's daughter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which was spun off as Phyllis. (I always thought Phyllis would've been funnier if she'd moved in with her gay brother...but that would've been NYC, and clashed with Rhoda, I guess...). Actually, I thought of her because I recently watched The Odd Couple episode "Bunny is Missing Down by the Lake"...she was Bunny.
Yes, it is Lisa Gerritsen. I loved that show My World and Welcome To It. Bess Lindstrom was a great character role she played on MTM and Phyllis. She was also in the film Airport. She had quite a few guest roles in popular tv shows in the '60's and '70's. She left acting in the late '70's. She was always an intelligent, good actress. Excellent shutoo, your thread

Ronald Reagan was elected president winning 44 states, biggest landslide in history when politics are involved people are dumb so I can believe that.
Keeping politics out of this, it's just a nice, fun thread, Ronald Reagan had 83 acting credits before entering politics.

The Dr's wife is also a doctor. Although she's innocent, the DA only cares about his reputation with the public and charges her as an accessory.

Thanks Princess.

In the classic time period of tv this actress appeared in many tv shows and some films. She landed a role playing a daughter in an Emmy winning show, although as good as this show was it only lasted a season. Her most famous role was again as a daughter on a long running show and had a spin-off playing the same role. She played an intelligent, precocious girl in her roles. Actress and some of those tv and film roles ????????

Ah, thanks for the info, lavenderblue. That's what I get for not looking beyond Wikipedia!
I don't have another couple in mind yet, so rather than hold up the thread, I'll leave it open. :-)

From the obit from the NY Times.
After the war, he was a free‐lance photographer for Time and Life magazines, he and his actress wife and their friends, Mel Ferrer and Gregory Peck, established the La Jolla Summer Playhouse in La Jolla, Calif. Mr. Swope produced more than 40 plays there, while continuing his magazine assignments.
Yes, Dorothy McGuire and John Swope. You didn't mention one of her most famous motherly roles in a Tree Grows In Brooklyn. Your thread Fausterlitz.

Thanks Swithin. I wish TCM would air Make Mine Mink more often. Love this comedy.
next
She was an Oscar nominated actress. She appeared on the stage, in films and on tv. Many times she'd play motherly type roles. She did play a homely looking woman ina film that's shown on TCM, although she was a lovely looking woman. Besides her impressive film career she had an important role in a very successful tv mini series. She was married to a succesful photographer and theatrical producer. Couple and her Oscar nominated film and a few of her other famous films and that tv mini-series ?????????

It's been a very, very long time since I've seen The Man With Nine Lives, so I'm not sure if it's the one you're question is about. Boris Karloff stars ??
-
OY! I should have known this sooner! Hattie Jacques and John Le Mesurier ?? Both in The Carry On movie series. Hattie was in one of my favorite of all British comedies Make Mine Mink based on Kander and Ebb's play 70 Girls 70 starring Mildred Natwick. Hattie had a role in the horror movie Mother Riley Meets the Vampire, the horror icon was Bela Lugosi ?????

Sad. He's was so good as Mark McCain on The Rifleman. The show was one of the better westerns on tv. Chuck Cpnnors and Johnny Crawfored made a great father son team. I still enjoy watching the show in re-runs. Johnny Crawford was a talented actor and musician.
RIP Johnny Crawford

That's scsu1975. See, typos do happen with posters names. I had a typo leaving out the u in your moniker and since you corrected me I'll return the favor and correct you. scsu1975 is a long standing, well liked important poster around here, someone was bound to point out the correct spelling of the moniker to you.
