  1. Peace and respite here, sung beautifully in a '50s film:

     

    SONG TITLE, FILM, SONGSTRESS?

     

    Sunbeams are gently fading

     

     

     

     

     

     

    And birds are waiting to do their mating.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    When eventide is nigh

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Moonbeams are descending,

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The day is ending, a happy ending.

  2. Surprisingly, this supporting actress earned a degree in mathematics in 1906, switched gears and went into law, became the 1st lawyer in her home state.. It was after the stock market crash that she broke into film, and took on the last name of the character she first played. Matronly middle-aged roles were her best. Any guesses?

  3. Two actors were both fired by the same director and studio on the same day. One went on to legendary actor/director status. He was fired that day for having too big an "Adam's Apple, the other for pushing the director in a water tank. Name the actor/director. Extra credit if you name the other actor.

  4. This actor also had a string of wives, none famous however. He emigrated to the US after being an activist before the war. He started on Broadway in the '20s as this title character. When a famous actor died, he landed the role in the film of the same name. Although he never won an Oscar, he was one of 5 who were featured on a commemorative set of 32 cent US postage stamps. Who was he?

  5. Right track, you're in the station. Verna Felton was the voice of the fairy godmother, one role that endeared her to all of us. I first saw her on December Bride and couldn't wait to see her every week. I loved that show. She and Walt Disney died within a day of each other during their last film together, The Jungle Book. Great, cujas, your thread.
