That's what I thought until I looked it up. Doris Day was considered, and she probably would have made a fine Nellie Forbush, but she was under contract to Warner Bros. and the movie was produced by Twentieth Century Fox. The two studios could not agree on a loan out deal. However, Doris was not the first choice of director Joshua Logan. His choice was a young actress who was considered a hot property at the time, although she neither sang nor danced. Any other guesses?

Yes, thanks. We have them all now. As I stated earlier, some folks were in more than one photo. Luana Patten is the little girl in the first photo and she is the pretty young woman in #5. Tommy Kirk and Kevin Corcoran played brothers in five movies, "Old Yeller", "The Shaggy Dog", "Swiss Family Robinson", "Bon Voyage", and "Savage Sam", which was a sequel to "Old Yeller". Dorothy McGuire played their mother in "Old Yeller" and "Swiss Family Robinson". Fred MacMurray played their father in "The Shaggy Dog" and "Bon Voyage". Here is Burl Ives with Lavenderblue's song: Peebs got the most so Peebs gets to post next.

Where did everyone go? This has been up all day and it's still untouched. Let me see if I can get it started. 1. Dorothy Baxter - Whitney Blake on "Hazel". Curiously, she actually had been named Mrs. Baxter at one time in real life. 2. Tod Stiles - Martin Milner on "Route 66" 5. Det. Adam Flint - Paul Burke on "The Naked City" 10. Michael Anthony - Marvin Miller on "The Millionaire". I always wished he would visit my house. 12. Adam Troy - Gardner McKay on "Adventures In Paradise". A favorite of Lavender and Princess. 13. Tom Lopaka - Robert Conrad on "Hawaiian Eye" 14. Luke McCoy - There are two of them. Richard Crenna as Luke and Michael Winkleman as his brother, Little Luke, on "The Real McCoys". That's enough for now. How about someone else jumping in?

John Howard Next: V.W.

Sorry, Lavenderblue. It's not "Song Of The South". I'm surprised that you missed it because in this movie, Burl Ives sings your song.

Very good, Peebs. Actually, Gloria Winters played Babs Riley in the first "Life Of Riley" series which lasted less than one season from 1949 to 1950. Lugene Sanders played Babs from 1953 to 1957. Gloria Winters and Lugene Sanders later appeared together as friends on an episode of "Richard Diamond, Private Detective". Well, that wraps up the question. Thank you to everyone who participated. Lavenderblue got nine, Princess got four, and Peebs got two, so Lavenderblue gets to post next.

Well that didn't take very long. Yes, Scotty Becket had such a good early life and such a tragic adult life, as short as it was. It seems that we hear so much about child actors who couldn't cope with life when the cuteness fades and reality sets in. Nice job, Lavender. You're up next.

Nice job, Princess. That wraps up the western actors. Now we still need #4 and #13. #4 is from a fifties family sitcom that starred two movie veterans as the parents. #13 is from a sixties sitcom that was a spin-off of another very popular sitcom.

Do you know me? I was a very cute child actor. The studio thought that I resembled a young Jackie Coogan, so they dressed me in an oversize sweater and ball cap, much like Coogan wore in "The Kid". After appearing in some comedy shorts, I graduated to features, appearing with many top stars of the day, often as the son of the star or playing the star as a child. I became a very busy actor as a teenager, appearing in a string of lightweight teen comedies. However, as I progressed into adulthood, the roles dried up. I started drinking and was arrested on more than one occasion for drunkenness. I married before I was twenty, but I was an immature and abusive husband and the marriage didn't even last six months. I married again and became a father, but my drinking continued. I was arrested in Mexico for passing bad checks. I got a job on a TV show, but I was dropped from the show when I had to spend four months in jail. My second wife became an alcoholic like me. I got involved with drug dealers and was even involved in a shoot-out with police. My second marriage failed. Later, I crashed my car while driving drunk and became a cripple for life. I was on my third marriage when I tried to stab a neighbor in a dispute that my wife broke up. I tried to end it all by slashing my wrists, but that didn't work. My wife left me. I tried to stop her by hitting her with one of my crutches. Later I checked into a rehab hospital. However, I was so depressed that I committed suicide there by overdosing on barbiturates. I was thirty-eight years old. Do you know me?

Very good so far, Princess. That shaggy dog driving is supposed to be Tommy Kirk, who had turned into a dog. By the way, some people in these photos are in more than one of them. Any more guesses, anyone?

Diamond Jim Brady - Edward Arnold in Diamond Jim Nick Beal - Ray Milland in Alias Nick Beal Saunders - Jean Arthur in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington The movie is Easy Living Next: Doc Golightly Dances With The Bamboo Blonde

Just bumping this up.

Who was the director's first choice to play Nellie Forbush in the 1958 film version of "South Pacific"?

Very good, Lavender. We still need #4, 6, 8, 9, 13, and 14. #6, 8, 9, and 14 were all characters in westerns. #4 and 13 were sitcom characters.

I'll tell you up front what these next photos have in common. They're all Walt Disney productions. Can you name the people pictured, as well as the movie that they are in? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

If you were asked "Who played Ethel Mertz on TV?", you would answer Vivian Vance on "I Love Lucy". Well now you get to identify a lot more character actors and actresses. Here is a list of characters from some vintage TV shows. For each one, can you name the actor or actress who portrayed that character, as well as the name of the TV series? Some will be easy, some not so much. 1. Bess Lindstrom 2. Otis Campbell 3. Penny King 4. Babs Riley 5. Jody Davis 6. Sgt. Biff O'Hara 7. Thorny Thornberry 8. Ken McLaughlin 9. Jingles 10. Jane Hathaway 11. Betty Anderson (50's series) 12. Betty Anderson (60's series) 13. Duke Slater 14. Charlie Wooster 15. Chatsworth Osborne Jr. The TV series range from the 1950's to the 1970's.

In "The Pleasure Of His Company", Fred dances with Lilli Palmer. In "The Towering Inferno", he dances with Jennifer Jones.

You are correct, Princess. Some people only know Kitty Carlisle from "To Tell The Truth", but she was an accomplished singer who appeared in several movies in the thirties. Here she is with Allan Jones: You're up next, Princess.

Princess, it's still your turn.

Would it be Barbara Parkins? She was nominated for an Emmy for playing Betty Anderson on TV's "Peyton Place". She is probably best known for starring as Anne Welles in the movie "Valley Of The Dolls".

The female singer would become a regular panelist on TV's "To Tell The Truth". The male singer would have a son who would become a popular singer in the seventies and eighties.

Very good, Princess. And Happy Trails to you too! You're up next, Princess.
