That's Words And Music. Tom Drake, the boy next door in the song from "Meet Me In St. Louis" is Richard Rodgers, and Mickey Rooney, Andy Hardy in all of those Hardy family movies, plays Lorenz Hart.

Sorry about that. They sure do slip out of sight quickly. You are correct, Lavender. Sherry Jackson played the daughter. She was a regular on "Make Room for Daddy" at the time. Another future TV star, Donna Reed, played a social worker who became John Wayne's love interest.
Lavender, the thread is all yours.

It's easy to see that Lavender and Princess watched a lot of game shows in their formative years. By the way, Jack Narz and Tom Kennedy were brothers. Their real name was Narz. Jack's show was "Dotto", not "Ditto". Very nice job, ladies. You got them all. Lavender got eight to seven for Princess, so Lavender gets the thread.

If you look at the cast of "The Big Street" you will find many future TV stars. Besides Lucille Ball the cast includes:
Ozzie Nelson, who would go on to star in "The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet"
Agnes Moorehead - Endora on "Bewitched"
Ray Collins - Lt. Tragg on "Perry Mason"
George Cleveland - Gramps on "Lassie"
and Hans Conreid - Uncle Tonoose on "The Danny Thomas Show"
It also featured an actor named William T. Orr, who would become head of TV production at Warner Bros. in the late fifties and sixties. His name would appear in the credits for shows like "Cheyenne", "Maverick" and "77 Sunset Strip".
Next: A divorced unemployed man, with a very precocious young daughter, must get a job in order to retain custody of the child. He gets a job coaching football at a small money strapped Catholic college.

Here are photos of some TV game show hosts. Can you identify each man as well as a game show that he hosted? Some of them hosted more than one game show, but one will suffice. Some of them were panelists at times on other game shows, but we don't want that. Just identify the man and one show that he hosted.

OH, I get it. It's "Deathtrap" where Michael Caine, who played "Alfie", kisses Christopher Reeve, who played "Superman".

Sometimes it takes a certain clue to lead one to the answer. It is indeed "The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine". Here it is:
Stan's voice got a little help from cast members Chill Wills and Rosina Lawrence.
Twenty years later it was done on a TV show by little Brenda Lee and Rex Allen.
Good job, Starlit. You're up next.

It sounds like "The Big Street" with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball, many years before they made "Yours, Mine, and Ours".
-
Thanks, Lavender. That complete's the question. Now, let's give the thread to Shutoo to post next.

Yes, It's Bobby Driscoll. His is one of the saddest stories involving former child actors. By the way, he can be seen almost every 4th of July on TCM in "The Scarlet Coat", a movie he made as a teen.
Good job, Lavender. You get to go next.

Of course they gave interviews. Just go to YouTube and plug in the actress's name and the word interview and see what you get. Here is Lillian Gish:
And here is Gloria Swanson:

In two days, this thread has fallen into near oblivion. Just bumping it now.
Lavender, it's your turn.

Do you know me? I was a successful child actor who did some work for Walt Disney, both as a live action actor and also an animated voice over actor. I also made movies for other studios and I received a special juvenile Oscar for some of my work. As I approached adulthood, the juvenile roles dried up and I was lost. I turned to drugs and became a narcotics addict, for which I was arrested and served some jail time. I did some sporadic TV work, but nothing of a continuous nature. I went to New York to try to make it on Broadway, but that also failed. I became part of Andy Warhol's Greenwich Village arts crowd and showed that I had some artistic talent, but in the end the drugs killed me. I died penniless in the basement of an abandoned tenement building. Do you know me?

It's from a 1937 movie, however the song is much older.

That's correct, Shutoo.
Now, #10 is from a thirties musical with music by Jerome Kern.

Marjorie Morningstar I was a bit confused by the "cook _____ Drummond" clue. I kept thinking of Bulldog Drummond, but I guess you were going for Charlotte Rea, who played the cook for the Drummond family on TV's "Different Strokes".

I think it's Patricia Medina. She was once married to Richard Greene, who played Robin Hood on TV in the fifties. In the sixties, she married Joseph Cotten. Her movies include "Fortunes Of Captain Blood", "Captain Pirate", and "Pirates Of Tripoli". The cult film is probably "The Killing Of Sister George".

Yes, it's "The Window" with Bobby Driscoll as the boy. Barbara Hale, and Arthur Kennedy were the parents, and Ruth Roman and Paul Stewart played the neighbors. Bobby Driscoll was a fine child actor. It's a shame that he had such a short and tragic adult life.
Nice job, Lavender. You get the thread.
