Well, we COULD keep the "Mistaken Idenity" thread goin' too ya know Kid, because that one, as far as I know, was really supposed to be less about actors lookin' alike and more about how some people confuse two actor together for whatever reason, and often when they really don't even look that much alike.

Ona Munson ...and... Ruth Warrick

"TOILET"??? Dude, that wasn't exactly what I WAS imagining her "perched" upon!!! LOL

I was wonderin' when you'd chime in here, Doc! Just thought of another Janssen story here...well, sort of anyway. Just about the time of his death, I met an attractive young lady in a bar and struck up a conversation with her. When I asked what she did for a living and she said she was trying to break into The Biz as an actress but in the meantime did a lot of valet parking at Hollywood parties. I then asked if she had any juicy stories to tell about that, and she replied that she had recently spent an hour outside one of those parties talking to David Janssen after he had evidently gotten bored with the proceedings inside. She went on to say that she felt kind of sorry for him as she got the impression that he wasn't a very happy guy, though she added that he was a gentleman with her at all times, and wasn't all THAT drunk.

Nah. They sent a whole pamphlet out by snail-mail, MissW. Didn't you get YOUR copy??? LOL Nah, I think I read how to do this after I re-registered, and in one of the threads in the "Message Board Problems" forum located near the bottom of the Main Menu of forums.

"AAAH, Yeash. Especially if they were from Philadelphia, RIGHT my boy?!"

Moved to the reinstated "Lookalikes" thread.

The 11th one from the left. It looks like a little TV set with a blue-colored screen or an old Polaroid snapshot. Move your cursor over it and it'll say "Image" just before you click on it.

Sorry ladies, but I have NO idea what you're talkin' about here. Posting pix within threads has never been easier than it is now. Just hit that "image" icon up there, paste the URL address of whatever pic you're wanting to post, hit "ok", and VOILA, it should work. (...it's workin' just fine for ME anyway)

Not only did I like David Janssen in "The Fugitive", and when as a 11-15 y/o, my parents would let me stay up late until 11pm on Tuesday(and a school) night to watch his Dr. Richard Kimble seek the elusive real killer of his wife, but I wanted to BE David Janssen back then TOO, 'cause he was JUST so friggin' cool. And, for a while I even affected that little quick one-side of his face grin thing he'd do. LOL Years later in the late '70s and when I was a ticket counter agent at LAX for the old Hughes Air West airlines, I spotted my old idol walking past our ticket counter during a slow time of day. I fixed my gaze upon him and he must have noticed that, as he turned and said to me, "Hi. Slow day, huh?!"(and yeah, as I recall he DID do that little one-sided grin thing as he said it), and I was so startled that all I said in return was, "Aaah, YEAH, it is!" Yep, he was one cool dude alright, and one of the three of my "idols" as a kid...the others being Steve McQueen and William Holden, ironically all three of whom would also die fairly young in age and around the same time in the very early 1980s, and with Janssen and Holden both unfortunately being very heavy drinkers which contributed to their early demises.

Oooh. Now that they've reinstated the old "Lookalikes" thread, I'll have another to post over there now, Joe... Ona here AND Ruth Warrick! (...thanks!)

Then I guess you must've missed Myrna's guest appearance on "CHiPs" then, EH?! Yeah, Ponch and Jon pull her over in her '76 Oldsmobile Cutlass(hmmm...or was that a Buick Skylark?...my memory's not what it used to be, ya know...but I digress) for a DUI, and her excuse to them is that she's doin' a reprise of her Nora Charles role for a TV Movie of the Week and was just practicin' for the part!

Not to quibble here Lorna, but I'd place CARNIVAL OF SOULS over in the "good" column, as even though it's decidedly a low budget film, I think it one of the better low budget movies ever made.

"Okay. Gotcha Roberts. You're a few years younger than I am, too. 10-4, over and out!"

Yep Lorna, I have admit his post-WWII filmography IS rather scant in quality and mostly filled with movies probably best classified as "vehicles" for him. However, I HAVE always liked "THE HUCKSTERS", and think he very convincingly played the cynical protagonist who must tread the compromised halls of Madison Avenue. (...of course then again, THAT movie DOES also feature AVA GARDNER, and so what's not to like, HUH?!) LOL

Just a guess here Ham, but because there is no more "Hot Topics" forum and where that old thread resided before this new format's debut, it isn't likely to appear anywhere.

Nope! (...'cause I've never been overly impressed with titles, of course!)

Good try, Tom. (...but don't worry, that line never works for ME either!) LOL

Hey lady! (see how quickly I learn?) Wasn't EVERYBODY miscast in THAT one???? (...well, EXCEPT of course for Karen Black, 'cause I heard the script called for a cross-eyed stewardess!!!)

Thanks for your reply, Holden. I suppose on the whole you MIGHT be right, but as I earlier stated, I think in many cases it was just the scripts he was handed that probably had penciled in on the top of 'em somethin' like: "Give me a Clark Gable-type for the lead in this if he isn't available."

LOL Oh, I canna do'a a pretty mean'a Chico impression'a TOO in'a pinch'a, Tomasito!!! (...in fact'a, we could'a sign'a a contract and take'a my act on'a the road, JUST as long'a as you'a don'a try slippin' in'a some kinda "Sanity Claus" into it!!!)

Eeh! I HATE to hear about people and their "missed opportunities"!!! LOL (...though in MY case, I can kinda see why Steve took "The High Road" here, as Marilyn never did a THING for me EITHER...I like'a the brunettes, as I'm sure I've made abundantly clear by now around here)

Gotta say, Steve sounds like a pretty good guy, alright....though I'd REALLY take my hat off to the guy if he was MORE than just "friends" with AVA GARDNER!!! Any word on THAT front??? (...or should we maybe stay on topic here about Gable, Monty and Marilyn...yeah..."maybe" we should just do that, huh!) LOL

And thus gettin' some of Errol's..ahem.."leftovers" MAYBE, Tom???!!! (...sorry, I couldn't resist...and besides, I'm STILL waitin' for a reply from Holden here about my defense of Gable, and so I had nothin' better to do than to crack wise YET again!!!) ROFL

Uh-huh, TT. NOT to mention a particular theater chain which did pretty good "bidness" before the VCR became a standard household appliance!!!
