Though I think the best two guesses have been made by cmvgor, I'm going to suggest *The Male Animal* (not letting cmvgor get away with claiming any/all unnamed Thurber output! ). In this case the film is based on his play, but the screenwriting also involved the Epstein brothers as well as director Elliott Nugent. Going for the longshot this time...

Bargar, I'm not sure which previous post you were responding to because there was no guess on your post. (tho it seems to be RV)
Yours is *Dolores Costello* (wife of John Barrymore, grandmother of Drew)
RV's is *Cameron Diaz*
and Miles's is *Guinn "Big Boy" Williams*
She starred in *How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying* veteran sportscaster later in the middle of a sexual assault scandal ?I?m ___ the mood for love, simply because you?re near me??introduced in the 1935 film *Every Night at Eight*

I think we all miss Thelma...she was an original. I'm thinking of her in *Rear Window*, *A Letter to Three Wives* and *The Misfits* at the moment - loved her...
I was born in New York into a family whose acting heritage goes back generations; it?s no surprise that I made my own stage debut at age five.
I was married twice and all of my children became actors and actresses! By the way, my sister was an actress, too, and I was related by marriage to another distinguished (and more well-known) acting family.

No, Miles, I missed something - didn't scroll down and thought vf was posing a new pair, in a new way.
Shirley and Diana are still up

You sound very much like the incomparable *Thelma Ritter*, the much nominated but never winning Best Supporting Actress contender. Is this who you are?
-
Is it OK to say *BOTH* ?? (I just flipped a coin and *Top Hat* won...)
Victor Moore as "Pop" in *Swing Time* or Edward Everett Horton as "Horace" in *Top Hat*

Excellent work, sellyoulloyd, I'm "Gena" - we didn't get far enough to go into my career (you're fast) for me to talk about my transition from my mainstream early career to an "indie" actress known mostly for my collaborations with my husband, John Cassavetes - which led to two Oscar noms for Best Actress...
it's your thread, sellyoulloyd...
(I think Gena, now nearly 80, is still beautiful, saw her not so long ago in *Paris, je t'aime* in a segment with Ben Gazzara and she was wonderful)
-
There are few options on this, of course, and it's a matter of opinion and taste -
I'm going with Kathryn and Lee Grant who share Cary's last name...
Hope and Faye

*Experiment in Terror*, from 1962, starring Glenn Ford and Lee Remick, was notable for a few things: Mancini's "edgy, jazz-tinged score," Blake Edwards' direction, the climactic ending in San Francisco's Candlestick Park during a Giants/Dodgers game (at night) and Ross Martin's performance as the psychopathic (and asthmatic) villain. He was deeply creepy (his role in "The Wild, Wild West" never offset the impression he made on me in this movie)!
Very good work, Mr. 6's , you named the movie in 4 clues - it's your thread- and I'd love it if you would post a movie this time - it's been a while!

I was born in the midwest, but we moved around a lot. My father was a banker and worked for the government. My mother was a painter and a housewife (business and art under the same roof!). We moved to Washington, D.C.when dad was appointed to a position there, then to different cities in the midwest when he was given other appointments. I was popular in college and was already getting much noticed for my looks. I moved to New York to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. I performed in stock companies and was an understudy for a Broadway hit (I also toured with its national road company). I also appeared in a play with Edward G. Robinson.

Clark Gable was in *Run Silent, Run Deep* with Don Rickles
Don Rickles was in *Dirty Work* with Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase was a regular and was launched as a star on "Saturday Night Live", as was Eddie Murphy
...If someone else wan'ts to post names, go ahead, otherwise, I'll be back later...

Another clue to the movie, #4
1. An imaginative bank heist has been concocted by a deadly criminal
2. A sinister threat is delivered by the fiend on his patsy?s home turf
3. The FBI (in the form of a handsome movie star) is quickly on the scene - trying to ID and track down the criminal
4.This particularly creepy psychopath (great job by the actor who played him) pays medical expenses for a sick child

(agree completely on "Shop")
I'm going with Elizabeth Taylor, but Vivien Leigh was an interesting Cleo, too
Here's some to pick from as Queen Elizabeth (I): Cate Blanchett, Bette Davis, Judi Dench or Helen Mirren (on HBO)?

Louis Calhern (one my favorite character actors)

It's not *Gangster Story* - but good guess - and nice try Mr.6's!
1. An imaginative bank heist has been concocted by a deadly criminal
2. A sinister threat is delivered by the fiend on his patsy?s home turf
3. The FBI (in the form of a handsome movie star) is quickly on the scene - trying to ID and track down the criminal

*Mr. Deeds Goes to Town*
Frank Capra or Ernst Lubitsch

*There's One Born Every Minute*

I'm trying to build up to something - start slow, add layers (I liked the way *Match Point* turned out). However, cmv, since you were kind enough to name a few films (not sure any of them were actual guesses - none of them is the one I'm referring to) - here's more:
1. An imaginative bank heist has been concocted by a deadly criminal
2. A sinister threat is delivered by the fiend on his patsy?s home turf
