And I didn't mean that towards you Stella - you only happened to be the last post!

I'd like to interject Stella while there's a lull... just to agree with path40a that this doesn't have to be a rapid-fire game, but moreso a 'continuous' game, In My Humble O. These in-between segues (is that a noun?) are getting a little lengthy. If you don't know it, walk away. I've enjoyed the last few turns though! Great picks AND great clues. And I don't mean to sound critical at all - just suggesting! Where are you anyway, little tramp lover?? *S*

hehehe...Antar, you crack me up, my dear buddy. *ktc*

I agree, Orson. I grew up thinking that Edward G did 100% 'gangster films' but I saw him recently in "The Woman in the Window" and was stunned at how well he did suspensful drama/noir. It was a refreshing change of pace.

I can't really contribute anything. Just wanted to say I love your handle!

Show Boat?

You go girl! *high five* I wanted to tell you so bad that you were on the right track with Dorothy McGuire!! It IS "Old Yeller". Your turn, Stella.

I wasn't quite that old, but growing up in the '60s and '70s, "Rona Barrett's Hollywood" was always in our home. I remember loving her "mod" hairstyle! "The Enquirer" was also a staple, and I'm the proud winner of a blooper-spotting contest from the mid-'70s (an episode of "The Jeffersons"!) I also remember being exposed to the after-school talk show gamut - Dick Cavett, Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas. Yeah mom was a Hollywood junkie. *S*

Okay, I take it no one's here, so I'll just tell ya. It's "Young at Heart" (1954)Have a good night everyone!
