  1. You're being serious arent you? Man, something tells me that pairing would not have gone well.

     

    All kidding aside, I bet you anything Doris would have done an absolutely Stellar rendition of ME & BOBBY MCGEE.

    No I'm not. Morrison and Doris? I don't think so. The odds would have been a lot more than "5 to 1" that this matchup would ever take place.

  2. Considering everything, this is pretty much a no brainer.

    Jefferson Airplane. I don't really have a good question,

    so help yourself.

    You won't name Grace Slick, Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, and Jack Casady? Lazy.

  3. A minor DJ at WIBG-AM in Philadelphia  in the late '50s within a decade became a major pioneer in the history of radio. What was his name and what did he do?

    Hint: It has to do with rock.

  4. As I recall(as it's been a few years since I've watched this overwrought "Hollywood exposé" of Odets' and Aldrich's on TCM) but Palance ain't no slouch when it comes to chewin' on the ol' scenery in this thing TOO!

     

    Would've been interesting to see John Garfield's portrayal of the Hollywood star in crisis lead character when the play premiered on Broadway back in '48, wouldn't it?

    With two guys chewing on the scenery like that, there was no scenery left by the end of shooting. Gulp.

  5. DGF - Absolutely right.  Marlon and Jean were charismatic together. I always thought they rose above the material they had to work with in these two films. I would have liked to see them featured in movies with better scripts. C'est la vie.

     

    Great job. The thread is yours.

  6. Thanks, lavender,

     

    I loved "December Bride" and the running gag theme that you never saw Pete's wife Gladys so I was delighted to see the TV series "Pete And Gladys" and the choice of Cara Williams was perfect. I guess you might designate this as one of the original "spin-offs".

     

     

    Next:

     

    Marlon Brando appeared in movies with many leading actresses but only once with each. However, he did appear two times with one leading actress .  Please name the actress and the two movies in which she appeared with Mr. Brando.

  7. The three I was thinking of were

     

    1) The Rose, about Janis Joplin, but not

     

    2) Dreamgirls, about the Supremes, but not

     

    3) Grace of My Heart, about Carole King, Brian Wilson, and more, but not.

     

    There are more, but those 3 will suffice.

    When I was 21, and was in Atlantic City for the summer, I used to go to Tony Mart's in Somers Point. Name a film which featured a group that played at Tony Mart's.

  8. And a great two cents it was, N&N!

     

    It reminds me of the time Dionne Warwicke went to a numerologist who told her to either take off the final "e" of her name, or add it. I can't remember which way it went but she did and I believe years later returned to the original spelling.

     

    Apparently it did not help her career, but good to know that Bette's did, but she probably would have been successful if she was named Bertha Davis too.

    Maybe, but I would draw the line at Hortense Davis.
