This one is taking a while, isn't it!
But, it's hard to think of a clue that wouldn't make it too easy.
Now that this question has been bumped up to today, let's give it a little more time for more views...

Well, I held off on this one for a while...but let's name him now...
Harry Bernard (as "Harry" in the 1932 Laurel & Hardy short ANY OLD PORT!).

I don't think I've seen this announced elsewhere yet, but it says here that Winona will be back as Guest Programmer in December:

> }{quote}That's a HOT list, MusicalNovelty!!
Thanks.
I hope it inspires some to look into some of the lesser-known names there, such as:
Lillian Miles - there's so much more to her than just REEFER MADNESS.
Adrienne Dore - Miss America (1925). Some of her films are very hard to find, but several she did at Warners in the early 1930's can be seen on TCM.
Gloria Shea - formerly known as Olive Shea. Short career - retired in 1936. One of my faves...anyone else familiar with her?
Edna Marion - in several late 1920's Hal Roach films.
Maxine Stone - half of comedy team Ross & Stone. VERY funny lady! (And beautiful, too!)
Rosina Lawrence - had to include her. A good friend for many years. Worked with some of the greatest while at Fox and Roach. A truly beautiful lady, young & old, inside & out!

I know Artie was married to a few different actresses, but I always thought this quote was about Lana Turner.

When I clicked over to this I thought "Oh no, this is one oldie I don't think I want to see some home-made video scrapped together for". But then the notes on the YouTube post explain that the video was done by the original lead singer of the group in 1986 (so to me that gives it some legitimacy...if anyone shall be allowed to make a video of the song, he may). And it's a whole new recording of the song, done in 1986 (the original was from 1970). So it's neither the shorter original single version nor the full-length LP version - it's a completely new (as of 1986) and different version from the 1970 album & 45 edit.
Here's the complete original long LP version from 1970:

Could it be...
Artie Shaw?

I was quite fortunate in my youth in having known numerous authors of books on film so I try to be as encouraging to young film fans now as they were to me.
Yes, I attend the film event Cinefest (regularly for over 20 years) in Syracuse, NY.
Richard Gordon usually attended as health permitted, as did his late brother Alex.
Also got to meet and chat several times with William Everson, although didn't get to know him well.

Okay...
But I guess I just wanted to sort of "catch up" as for some frustrating but unknown reason I've been unable to log on to the TCM Boards for the last week until somehow I got back on this morning.
So I didn't get the chance to name Lowell Sherman or Vladimir Sokoloff while I was unable to log in.
I'm just hoping whatever the problem was will not happen again and I'll be stuck just reading but not posting.

Sorry to hear this.
I got to Meet Mr. Gordon several times and found him to be a nice (and certainly very interesting) guy.
Here's his IMDb biography:
-
Eddie Borden
and
Porter Hall

Because of the success of the movie some early 1930's records of "As Time Goes By" were reissued in 1943.
(I have the 78 of the Jacques Renard Orchestra's version, originally from 1931 on Brunswick, reissued in 1943 on Decca).

3)
Some people claim that Jack Benny makes a cameo appearance in the movie.
(I don't agree).

And thank YOU for finding such a charming photo of Jerry. He's still got the smile, but a lot less hair!

For some unknown but frustrating reason I have been unable to log on the TCM Boards for the last week, but somehow got on this morning.
I also have to say you've been a class act all the way and if you're "hanging up your guns" for any period of time, I hope it's short.
Thanks for all the images and words!

Dickie Goodman is best known for his comedy "break-in" records, but he sang sometimes, too.
Here's one from 1961 about Horror Movies, appropriate for Halloween:
And another for Halloween and for Beatles fans too:
On the above the YouTube poster misspelled the name "Frankenstein" and in a way, the name "Beatles" too. I have this original 45 and on the label it is spelled "Beetles" (Intentionally, I assume).

That's a good one!
I purchased the LP way back then because I'd heard the song on the radio but the 45 was an edited version and I needed to get the LP to get the long version. I admit I haven't played the album in decades but I remember that the rest of it was good, too.
What Do These Four Films Have In Common

Well, to get it over with, yes, one of your answers is almost correct - all four films include coin flipping, although not always to make a decision.
I hope it's okay that I was being a "wise guy" and repeated the same link between my four films as was the answer for the previous four - coin flipping or tossing (but of course, picking four different films).
Since none of my four films are all that rare (as I noted, all are viewable on YouTube) I'm surprised it took this long to get the answer.
Okay, now it's all yours!
