REALLY?!
So, lemme guess here. Cesar Romero played Dave the Dude, RIGHT?!
(...my second guess is gonna be Don Ameche...no, make that my FIRST guess!)
-
Yeah, that's true.
(...but there sure were a lot of old stars cruisin' around on that Love Boat and flyin' into Fantasy Island's little cove on that boatplane, weren't there?!)
-
>That was when they were still casting older Hollywood stars in the show. That gradually ended over time.......
Yeah, but NOT "over time". Ya see, I THINK I can pinpoint the EXACT time that that practice died.
(...about the same time Aaron Spelling did!)
-
I've always loved the scene in A Day at the Races where Harpo is trying to get Chico to say "Hackenbush".
And now, least we forget another great comedian who created and named many a great character in film...one William Claude Dukenfield.
(...otherwise known as...well YOU know)
-
Well THAT of course is 'cause Ozzy is British, while our Bob is a good ol' American boy.
(...and ya know how those Brits always spell stuff with that superfluous letter "u", RIGHT?!)
-
Are you sure that isn't Noah Beery Jr. channeling Chico Marx there???
-
-
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...
-
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)

Great point about Hitch's different relationships with his different leading ladies, lavender.
This brings to mind TCM's recent Hitchcock's "filler segment" which shows a wide variety of opinions expressed about the gentleman, and which depending upon the source, runs the gamut from affection to almost a hatred of him.
