Sad. I actually checked google yesterday to see how Larry King was doing. I watched most times when Larry had his CNN talk show over the years. He was a great interviewer. Wish he could have survived. I remember his Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando interviews and the 100's of others that I watched. over the years.Thank You Larry for years of informative and entertaining tv watching.
RIP Larry King

Thanks Miles. I did the one before yours, Princess or Peebs can have the thread or they can pass to someone else.

I'm thinking of Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes?? He was on Your Show of Shows, starred in Me and Juliet on Broadway, The Ballad of Davey Crockett was a big hit and he played Doug Williams on Days of Our Lives ( I use to watch Days at that time). They played a married couple and were married in real life ( I remember when all this took place) Susan Seaforth was 18 years younger than Bill, had roles when she was a youngster and late teen ( I saw her n Dragnet a few times and recognized her immediately as Julie Williams from Days ?????????

LOL Miles, that'all be the day. I Don't believe you! In the meantime, I'm having computer issues so I'm answering this without checking dates and versions of the songs on wiki
1950 - Patti Page - Tennessee Waltz
1951. Johnnie Ray and the Four Lads - Cry
1953, Tony Bennett - Rags To Riches
1955. Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons
1957 April Love - Pat Boone
1960 Elvis Presley - Are You Lonesome Tonight
1964 - The Beatles - I Feel Fine
1966- The Monkees - I'm A Believer
1967 - Hello Goodbye - The Beatles
1968 Marvin Gaye - Gladys Knight and The Pips also recorded this great song but I think it's Marvin's recording you're asking about
1969 - Diana Ross and The Supremes

Yes, it's Rosemary DeCamp and yes you covered all the bases I asked for Miles.
Life of Riley, The Bob Cummings Show, Petticoat Junction, That Girl, The Partridge Family. 1950's -1970's Rosemary DeCamp certainly was a fixture on classic TV and certainly warranted a question in this Retro thread., A Lovely actress. Besides Walter Huston's wife and Cagney's mom in Yankee Doodle Dandy, she was Leon Ames wife and Doris Day's and Billy Gray's mom in On Moonlight Bay and By the Light of the Silvery Moon, that was my next clue.
Funny, I thought it was an easy question, especially when I gave The Bob Cummings Show clue about Dwayne Hickman and his Many Loves of Dobbie Gillis show and Yankee Doodle Dandy I knew would clinch it. Even if the answer wasn't obvious some research would come up with the answer so I appreciate you taking the time to do that, just as I do for some of the questions posted here. Thanks again, Miles. You get lots of bonus points in my book and it's your turn

Correct Miles, Bobby Van and Elaine Joyce. He was a terrific dancer. Elaine had the lead role in Sugar on Broadway. I remember seeing them together on many tv shows, especially game shows. Good work, your thread.

Sadly, the husband passed away in his 50's. The wife's next husband was a TV producer, they divorced. Her last husband was a very famous writer

Hint: They're both still working. He has worked continuously since his British television miniseries days, segueing into Hollywood films. His career has had no reversals. 😊
I've seen them both on stage: her several times, him once, as Richard II, at Stratford-upon-Avon.
Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack ?? LOL for the reversal clue

Tiki, excellent write up about The Burglar. Love this film and I've said it quite a few times on the bds. over the years, I think it's Dan Duryea's best performance in a film. Wish it was shown more often on TCM.

In most of these tv shows she's a mother and a wife, In the tv show she plays a sister and mom, one of the regulars in the cast went on to star in a very successful sit com.

Okay, who watches Home Alone 3, then? 😄
And FTR, Trump could also be cut out of the 1994 Little Rascals movie with no loss except a cheap early-90's "Rich guy" joke that was basically all we knew about Trump back when he was still an obnoxious slob but relatively sane.
I've never seen Home Alone 3, is trump in that too? I wasn't commenting on trump, just Home Alone 2. Trump owned The Plaza when Home Alone 2 was filmed, that was the joke when Kevin speaks to him.

Lav, You and I think pretty much in the same direction. LOL
I hope you had some fun with this one because I had fun writing it.
Your turn.....
I'd appreciate you taking a look at the Retro question I posted a couple of days ago, remember you said let's not let it go to page 3 again, well without some guesses that's what might happen . It's similiar to the one you just asked in this thread Thanks. I'll be back with a question soon.

Who watches Home Alone 2?
A lot of people, the Box Office was $174 Million in the USA and Worldwide $359 Million. for Home Alone 2. Home Alone 1 and 2 are shown many times during the holiday season and on quite a few stations.

The actress had a busy film career in the 1940's and 1950's. She had supporting roles in some famous films. many are shown on TCM.

I know the film but let's see if we can get some more participation, so I'll hold off

"It's Relative"
See if you can match the relative actress with the Hitchcock Hollywood movie(s).
1) A wife & a sister--in 2 different movies
2) A mother twice-- in 2 different movies
*3) A wife twice-- in 2 different movies
*4) A wife twice-- in 2 different movies
(*#3 & #4 are 2 different actresses.)
5) A wife & a sister-- in 1 movie
We're looking for 5 different actresses here, with the corresponding movies.
Hint: All actresses are either stars or prominent supporting players.
1. Vera Miles, this is a guess because in Psycho she pretends to be John Gavin's wife, she is Janet Leigh's sister though and in The Wrong Man, she's Henry Fonda's wife and Nehemiah's Persoff's sister ?????
2. Jesse Royce Landis played a mother ( Cary Grant's mother) in North By Northwest and To Catch a Thief ( Grace Kelly's mother)
3. Joan Fointaine played a Wife twice. Oliviers wife in Rebecca and Cary Grant's Wife in Suspicion
4. Ingrid Bergman played a Wife twice. In Notorious as Claude Rains Wife and in Under Capricorn as Joseph Cotten's Wife
5. Patricia Collinge played a Wife and Sister in Shadow Of A Doubt ( Joseph Cotten's Sister and Henry Travis Wife)

Is it The Big Heat? The star is Glen Ford. Do I need to answer another part of the question if that is the film?
Yes it's The Big Heat, GlennFord, Lee Marvin, Gloria Grahame There is no other part to the question, The thread is Describe the scene, I described the scene, you tell us what movie it's from. No one asked for more information than that, it's optional to add anything else. C'mon you've been here long enough now to observe how the games are played.,
It's your turn to post one.

He was suppose to get the handcuffs removed at the blacksmith who was a friend of Priscilla Lane's uncle. But when she got out of the car to flag a car down to turn him in, with the motor still running and the hood of the car up,I think it was the fan belt that cut the handcuffs off.
