You certainly have a unique way of giving clues, Jeffry. The answer here is Bela Lugosi. He was played by Martin Landau in the movie "Ed Wood". Landau won a supporting actor Oscar for his performance. Oh, the role he initially turned down was probably the Frankenstein monster, a role he later played in "Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man".

Yes, I purposely did not refer to her role in "The Big Heat" with Glenn Ford. I thought that might be too much of a giveaway. She appeared several times on "Gunsmoke", but one of the characters that she played a couple of times, Sally Fergus, led to her short lived series "Dirty Sally" in the seventies.
He took over the leading role on "Wagon Train" after Ward Bond died, and he also took over Charles Bickford's role on "The Virginian" after Bickford died. He appeared on an episode of "Trapper John, MD", which was a spin-off of M*A*S*H. Pernell Roberts starred as Dr. John McIntire on that show.
Their son Tim McIntire also became an actor. Here they are together in an episode of "Bonanza":
Nice work, Princess. The thread goes to you.

This husband and wife met while working in radio before World War II. After the war they both embarked on film careers, and over the years they worked together more than a few times.
He appeared in film noirs and westerns in his early career, sometimes playing lawmen and sometimes playing villains, ranchers, and assorted other characters. He succeeded two stars of popular TV western series after the original stars had died. He and his wife both worked in a Hitchcock movie, but while he appeared on screen, she was only heard. He once appeared on an episode of a TV show where the leading character's name was the same as his name.
She was the ultimate character actress, doing everything from Shakespeare to "The Real McCoys". She often used makeup and costumes to intentionally appear unattractive in her roles. She made several guest appearances on the Perry Mason TV show, sometimes as the murderer. She appeared several times on "Gunsmoke". One of the characters that she played led to her own TV series playing that character, although the show only lasted for half a season.
They remained married more than fifty years.
Can you name this couple?

You are correct, Bagels. Here is a clip:
Nice work, Bagels. You're next.

Very good, we have them all now. Some of these youngsters like Natalie Wood and Dean Stockwell had successful adult careers, but most did not. Thanks to everyone for guessing.
Lavender got ten, Princess and Peebs each got four and DJBeacon got two. Lavender and Princess don't post photos, so Peebs gets to go next.

That's the one, Lavender. Jimmy Stewart plays the accordion several times in the movie.
Nice work. The thread is yours.

I only thought that it might sound familiar because of your previous question, Lav. Remember this?
"Two acclaimed golden age actors in films were regular cast members on two different popular classic shows, both playing very similar roles on the tv shows. The 2 actors, the 2 tv shows and at least 1 film each was famous for ??????"
It's the same basic question and "The Detectives" and "The Untouchables" were the first shows that I thought of at the time.
Nice work, Lavender. We seem to be tuned to the same wavelength. You're up next.

I think it's James Whitmore and Audra Lindley. He was in movies like "Them", "Battleground", "The Next Voice You Hear", and "Black Like Me". She played Mrs. Roper on "Three's Company" and it's spin-off series "The Ropers".

Skippy was Jackie Cooper in Skippy.
Nancy Drew was Bonita Granville in several movies, including Nancy Drew: Reporter.

The movie is Gallant Sons.

#3 is indeed Dickie Jones, or Dick Jones as an adult. He was Bogey's son in "Black Legion". He was a Senate page in "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", and he was the voice of Disney's "Pinocchio". In the fifties he was the young sidekick on "The Range Rider", and later he starred as "Buffalo Bill Jr."
Sorry, Princess. #4 is not Claude Jarman Jr. If I had posted a photo of a boy and a fawn, that would have been him. This boy worked with a "runt of the litter" dog and, along with a young black boy, trained the dog to be a top hunting dog in a 1940 movie shot entirely on location in Georgia.

Thanks. Now, a railroad agent carrying a railroad payroll to the line camp is a victim of a train robbery. Before the robbers can find the money, he puts it into a shoebox belonging to a young boy. However, the young boy is taken hostage, but the crooks don't know that the boy has the money.

You are correct, Starlit. If you can spot them in those movies, please let me know.
Star, you're up next.

#2 had her childhood acting years in the late forties and early fifties. Here she is in a movie with Larry Olsen. He was better known for a couple of movies with Cary Grant.
#3 was a very busy child actor in the late thirties and early forties. He played Humphrey Bogart's son in one movie. As a young adult in the early fifties, he was a regular in a TV western series. Later, in the mid-fifties, he starred in his own western series. Here he is with Miriam Hopkins:
#4 was busy in the late thirties and early forties. Here he is with one of his co-stars:
The two in #13 were in two movies together in the late forties. The boy had the busier acting career as a child, but he had a very sad adult life. Here they are in a movie with Burl Ives:

Yes, DJ, #11 is Billy Barty. He was in the Mickey McGuire series with Mickey Rooney, and Busby Berkeley used him in "Footlight Parade" and "Gold Diggers Of 1933".
There's still four more to go.

It must be "Paths Of Glory". Director Stanley Kubrick and star Kirk Douglas would team up a few years later for "Spartacus". Here is that final scene:
The young German actress singing, Susanne Christian, would go on to marry Stanley Kubrick. They would remain married until his death in 1999.
