Are you sure that isn't Noah Beery Jr. channeling Chico Marx there???

Connie Sellecca

HEY!!! Can he say THAT??? (...I THOUGHT this was a family-oriented website!!!)

LOL Cute story, James! (...thanks for lettin' us be..ahem.."privy" to it)

>Ah, yes, Lakeside. But I won't derail my own "Susan Hayward" thread. WHAT???!!! Dude, you're the last person I'd EVER expect to conform to some sorta "double standard" around here! (...now don't let me down and let's see you derail your own thread...I know I've deailed a few of MY own threads anyway, and I THOUGHT we were like "kindred spirits" here, ol' buddy!!!)

REALLY?! You mean even the name "American Standard" doesn't ring a bell with ya here, finance??? (...and now back to character names)

Yeah, and like I ALSO said down there, "Eleanor, gee I think you're swell"...meaning, I always thought she was quite the beauty, too. Maybe it was her voice pattern and pitch which seemed to typecast her those kinds of roles, eh?! (...btw, ya know which modern day actress I think resembles her?...Tea Leoni...hope that isn't construed as a sidetracking)

Well TB, then like I said in my parenthetical line down there...Why did they always have poor Eleanor playin' that "clingy and whiny" type? Okay, maybe not ALWAYS, but you know what I mean, RIGHT?! In fact, just last night I watched The Man With the Golden Arm on TCM for the first time in many a year, and yep, Eleanor true to form was cast as Sinatra's "clingy and whiny" wife. (...so answer me THAT! )

"Imagine me and you, I do Derailing threads day and night, it just ain't right..."

>VOICE OF THE TURTLE is listed under its other title, ONE FOR THE BOOK. Don't ask me why Warners changed the name. Perhaps they didn't want the movie confused with Flo & Eddie after they hit it big with "Happy Together" ?! (...which reminds me..Eleanor, gee I think you're swell...but WHY did they ALWAYS have ya playin' that clingy and whiny type, HUH?!)

Probably too obvious a pick, but in the history of cinema it's probably pretty darn hard to top this one here...

Harry Andrews ?

Douglass Dumbrille Sir Cedric Hardwicke

LOL Ain't THAT the truth, VX !

Unfortunately Gilmore Field closed in '57(when I was 5 y/o) and was razed in '58, so no. However, I do remember when I was 9 y/o goin' with my dad to the old Wrigley Field in '61, and the year the new American League expansion team, The Los Angeles Angels, played their first and only season there. That ballpark was located in South-Central L.A., and it was razed in '66. After that first year of '61, the Angels shared Dodger Stadium with The Boys in Blue until Anaheim Stadium was built for them and they moved there for the '66 season.

Just thought of a couple of other examples here, KD. Joseph Cotten(David Letterman's REAL dad, ya know ) got top billing in The Third Man, who was of course played by Orson Welles. And, Jeffrey Hunter got top billing over Woody Strode's title role in Sergeant Rutledge .

Add Annie Hall to the list here, Kid...'cause Woody took top billing in that one also.

Btw Colorado Kid, look what I found on ebay. it's a baseball signed by both Mr. and Mrs.(at the time) Robert Cobb... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1939-HOLLYWOOD-STARS-Bob-Cobb-SIGNED-BASEBALL-Gail-PATRICK-Ball-PCL-Beavers-NICE-/360475498734

finance, whenever I finish up a post with that little parenthetical "...sorry...couldn't resist" thing, you can usually bet that that means I made up all the s**t. (...though because I'm a baseball fan AND because I'm a native Angelino, I did know of the Hollywood Stars BB team and Gilmore Field beforehand, which was you might know is where CBS Television City now stands, and because of that knowledge I worked up this little joke...in other words nope, I doubt the sultry Ms. Patrick ever played the organ at Gilmore Field, nor was instrumental in any player trades)

Hmmmm..."Mariette Hartley", ya say, dark?! Well Dothery, then THERE'S your "James Garner connection" then, eh?! Remember when Garner and Hartley were doin' so many commercials together that many people thought they were married?

Goin' back a bit here, MissW, but I just wanted to add somethin' regarding your earlier "ARGO AND FARGO MEET WHITE CARGO" and your coming sequel, "CLUTCH CARGO AND THE EMBARGO ON FARGO", are both..ahem...Dargo approved!

Wow! It MUST have been "short-lived" alright, 'cause I don't remember that program at all. It was his mugging for the camera in that picture that probably told me it was Mulligan. (...'cause he was always good at doin' that, ya know)

Nope, sorry Dothery. I don't think that looks much like Garner. Now, my FIRST inclination was to say it's Eric Fleming, he of the old "Rawhide" show, BUT I think the whole cowboy/gunfighter thing goin' on there was throwin' me off. 'Cause, I NOW think that that's a young Richard Mulligan.

Yep! The sultry brunette actress played the organ at all Gilmore Field home games...well, that IS until that one fateful day in '39 when she tried to catch a line drive foul tip off the bat of Frenchy Uhalt while playing "Dah dah dah DAH dah DAH, CHARGE" and broke three fingers on her left hand, and thus spelling the end of her little remembered musical moonlighting in Tinseltown. It was all just front office work from then on out, though word was she WAS very instrumental in that famous Lefty Wilkie/Jake Thies trade. (...sorry...couldn't resist)

Yeah, and maybe the inspiration for Cheech and Chong's 1981 effort, Nice Dreams, TOO!
