I didn't find out about May Wynn until I finally saw THE CAINE MUTINY and looked her up. She was married to Jack Kelly and didn't come off too well in James Garner's memoirs.
We always used to joke that Tony Danza could only play characters named Tony because any other name confused him.

TopBilled's classic daily double two days ago was "Anne Shirley as Anne Shirley." I admit that I was dense enough never to have realized she took her name from the Green Gables character. Obviously, I never was too interested in the story and hadn't seen the movie.
I did know, however, that Gig Young did this same thing in the '40s and May Wynn in the '50s.
Does anyone know if there are any others?
I didn't ask this in the daily double thread because I didn't want to be seen as hijacking.

I was about to add that at least they still run the TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY, but then I looked at E!'s schedule of THS episodes.
May 11 SNOOKI
May 12GIULIANA RANCIC (?)
May13 Joan and Melissa Rivers
May 16 Hulk Hogan and family
I concede!

After we get TCM 2 up and running, maybe we can plan the programing for TURNER CLASSIC CABLE! We could bring back all those shows from back when each channel stayed within its own concept.
This would definitely make the schedule.
Of course, we'd need a cable historian to introduce each feature.

I considered posting to the thread from a week or two ago, but I thought that the fact that TCM apparently had the exact same scheduling problem when it showed the film previously was of some interest.
You are right that I should just set the recordings long, but being with DISH for years made me overconfident. Since DISH never put the features between films in the guide, the recording times were always long enough to cover the actual film length.

Gee, BOTH of my parents were nurses. Mom an RN, Dad an LPN.
I'm glad someone came up with some movies where the nurses weren't evil.
Happy Nurses Day.

I remember watching a video version with Tony Curtis narrating. It was pretty sleazy.
I also got the book out of the library when I was a teenager. All the old stars who committed suicide. I think Auntie Em was in that book.
