Is it Brooke Adams and her husband, Tony Shalhoub, the star of "Monk"?

For those of you in the Los Angeles area, the stairway that L & H used in "The Music Box" is still in existence. It is on Sunset Boulevard in the Silverlake district of the city. The area around it has changed a lot since 1932, but you'll recognize it when you see it.

Metz, any more pictures? It's been a while.

I think that you're going for the name BALL although Suzan, spelled SUZAN, was a cousin of Lucille. Now: Michelle, Mary, and Billy

Yes, Charlie, you are correct. Lassie was always played by a male collie. The original was named Pal, and subsequent Lassies were all played by his descendants, with one exception. In "Son Of Lassie", Pal played Laddie, the son of Lassie, and the part of Lassie was played by another dog. The original "Lassie Come Home" (1943) featured young Roddy McDowall and Elizabeth Taylor. "Son Of Lassie" was made two years later and their characters are now young adults played by Peter Lawford and June Lockhart. Coincidentally, in 1944, in "The White Cliffs Of Dover", Roddy and Elizabeth appeared as children, and later in the movie, as time has moved forward, their characters were played by Peter Lawford and June Lockhart. It's your turn, Charlie.

Phyllis Diller Old Standard "It Had To Be _______" She Was Known As The "It" Girl Mountain In France "_______ The Angels Sing" Hopalong Cassidy Worked At The ______20 Ranch Roy Rogers Owned The Double R ______ Ranch Egyptian Sun God Montana's Largest City She Played The Human Leading Lady In A "Lassie" Movie Called "Hills Of Home"

Thanks. Recently in the "Do You Know Me?" thread, the subject was Jan Clayton, who played Tommy Rettig's mother for several years on the "Lassie" TV show. In 1957 both Jan Clayton and Tommy Rettig left the show, He was replaced by young Jon Provost and another actress was hired to play his adoptive mother. That actress played the role for only one season and then she left the show and was replaced by an actress who played Timmy's mom for six years. Both of these actresses have been well known to TV viewers for many years and both are still working today. Who are they? By the way, the second actress who played the role for six years had been in a "Lassie" movie at MGM in the forties. What was the name of that movie? No partial answers now. Please give the names of both actresses and the "Lassie" movie that the second one was in.

Yes, I am. Russell Hayden's second wife, Lillian Porter, was called "Mousie" for the rest of her life after Darryl F. Zanuck said she looked like a cute little mouse. Your turn, finance.

Thanks. I had just posted something recently about her one time husband, Russell "Lucky" Hayden, on one of these trivia threads on this board. Jan Clayton was the original Julie Jordan in "Carousel" on Broadway. She played a singing inmate in "The Snake Pit", and she also played Tommy Rettig's mother on the Lassie TV series. Now: I became one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, but I started out by writing scripts for Rin Tin Tin movies in the silent days. Do you know me?

Are you Jan Clayton?

I was giving other people a chance to answer, but I decided to jump in. I believe that it's "Too Many Girls" which featued the film debuts of Desi Arnaz, Eddie Bracken, and Van Johnson.

Ridley Scott Paul Simon Had a Hit With "Call Me _____" The "Uncle Remus" stories were Written By _______ Chandler Harris You Never Saw The Title Character In "Edward, My _______"

We'll give this one to finance. As far as I know, it was Bob Hope who played the role on Broadway. I didn't know about George Murphy. Bob Hope started in vaudeville as a dancer. But kudos to cujas for getting the Lucille Ball part correct. Lucy was a contract player at RKO. It was there that she met Desi Arnaz when they were in a film together called "Too Many Girls" in 1940. In the late fifties, Lucy and Desi bought the RKO studio and renamed it Desilu. Good work, both of you! Finance, it's your turn.

Thanks, Lavender. Before Max Steiner was at Warner Bros., he worked at RKO, the home studio of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the thirties. Fred and Ginger appeared in nine films together at RKO and one later at MGM. In one of their movies, Fred plays a bandleader whose friend inherits a Paris fashion house. It was originally a Broadway musical. What is the name of the movie and who played Fred's role on Broadway? And for extra credit, in the movie, what future star had an unbilled part as a fashion model?

I believe it's Max Steiner, who was tutored by Johanes Brahms. Steiner did the fanfare for a Warner Bros. picture called "Tovarich". It became the theme music for the studio for many years.

Jack Carson Clint Howard Had A Recurring Role On "The Andy Griffith Show" Playing A Little Boy Named ______ On "Taxi", Marilu Henner Played Elaine _______ "The Peppermint Twist" Was A Hit For Joey _______ And The Starlighters What Shirley Temple Called Guy Kibbee In "Captain January" Valerie Harper Played The Mother Of Demi Moore In "Blame It On _____"

Correct, Eve. She also played a character known as "The Penguin", but it wasn't in Batman movies, it was the Blues Brothers films. It's your turn.

How about a clue?

I'm sorry. It's lavenderblue's thread. I feel like Jerry Seinfeld's Uncle Leo. I'm old! I was confused!

Bennett Cerf Walter Cronkite Hosted A Program Called "You _____ There" Morgan Freeman Starred In "______ On Me" She Was "The Nanny" On TV + What Lola, Rosemary, And Priscilla Might Have Called Each Other

Thank you, SueSue. Like Mary Wickes, I spent my career playing maids, teachers, nosy neighbors, battle axes, and even a few nuns. I started early in life, working in my parents vaudeville act. I got into the drama club at UCLA, which led to a career in theater as a young adult. I started in movies in small parts in the late forties. I was in some memorable films, including "A Place In The Sun" and "Singin' In The Rain". About 1954, I started working in television. I never had a series of my own, but I probably appeared in just about every series on TV over a period of about forty years. I worked with everyone including Loretta Young, Bing Crosby, Robert Taylor, and Bob Hope. I continued to work in movies, as well, appearing with the likes of John Wayne, and Cary Grant. I was in eleven movies with Jerry Lewis, including "The Nutty Professor" in 1963. I also worked with Eddie Murphy in one of his "Nutty Professor" movies. I appeared on the "Dragnet" TV show with Jack Webb and I was also in the "Dragnet" movie with Dan Aykroyd. In 1953, I appeared in a movie titled "The Affairs Of Dobie Gillis". In 1960, I guested on the TV series "The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis", and in the late eighties I was in the Dobie Gillis reunion show, titled "Bring Me The Head Of Dobie Gillis". At the time of my death, I had returned to theater work. I was working on Broadway and had been Tony-nominated. Do you know me now?

Mentioning Jack Benny and Dennis Day brought it to mind, so I thought I would try it again. By the way, instead of the term "rerun", I prefer "Encore Presentation". Your turn, finance.

Are you Mary Wickes?
