Thanks, Lana..
I was born in Chicago and worked for three years in the steel mills of Gary, Indiana before going to a teaching college in Arkansas where I was involved in dramatics. I was in a few Broadway shows before I joined the service. I went back to Broadway afterwards, then to Hollywood where I won an Oscar. I was better known for a TV role in a police TV series and a TV ad....Who am I ?

This movie about pilots had a superb cast of character actors and even had a future singing star in an uncredited role as a member of a chorus...Name the movie.

Thanks, Miles. Here's a very nice song based on a classic melody...
" Moonlight shimmering on your hair,
Lighting up the night above you;
Moon song, melody oh so rare,
Echoing the wonder of you..
Deep in your eyes there is rapture,
All the loveliness I have longed for;
Oh for a moment to capture
A joy I never knew,
The joy of holding you--only you...."
It's from a black and white musical from the late thirties...

Rosetta LeNoire (August 8, 1911-March 17, 2002) was an American stage, screen, and television actress, as well as a Broadway producer and casting agent.
As a young girl, LeNoire suffered from rickets, which her godfather, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, helped her overcome by teaching her to dance.
LeNoire is best known to contemporary audiences for her work in television. She had regular roles on the series Gimme a Break! and Amen, and is best known for her role as grandmother Estelle Winslow on Family Matters.
In 1999, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts.[1]
The 1975 movie was "The Sunshine Boys", as Walter Matthau's nurse...

I was born in Mississippi and hitchhiked to California in the 30's to be an actor. I picked oranges, drove a school bus, and pumped gas while studying acting and waiting for a break in the movies. One of my employers believed in me and paid for my acting classes. I became a big star in the mid-forties, starring in two classic movies at the peak of my career. Although still a leading man, my roles declined and I turned to the bottle. In the early 1970s I was a spokesman against alcoholism...I had one good movie in 1960 and was one of the many stars in a big budget war movie in 1962....Who me ?

That's right...from "A Stone For Danny Fisher" by Harold Robbins....It was originally bought by the studio with the intention of casting James Dean in the lead. After he died, they shelved the project for three years. With Elvis' popularity, they changed boxing to singing and gave him the lead role....Your thread.

Thanks....Next:

Really see the lights that shine ?

Got to rope and tie that dream of mine... "
Clue:--This one's from another musical...
