Nope, not Juliet.
She was a TV star mostly in her younger days, and there's a distant "Tom Joad" connection with this lady.
(...and I don't mean she's from Oklahoma)

LOL
Did you do the photoshopping on this, heuriger?
-
Stanwyck, Tone and Crawford.
-
Looks like Franchot Tone to me.

Speaking earlier here of how good Doug Jr. was as Rupert in "Zenda", I wonder what your opinion is of James Mason in the same role in the Technicolor remake, Tom.
I'm going to guess you think he lacked the athleticism, but had the sneeringly snide aspect of the character down cold, eh?
-
Excellent pick, EB.

Have a couple of teenage crushes of mine coming up here, guys.
First...

Yep, I suppose that etymological explanation could be about as correct as any other.
-
Yep, I've heard TCM's word filter allows "****" so that any Brits around here can use it to describe someone who's three-sheets-to-the-wind drunk!
-
Or, as TomH up in Canada would've probably said that, and the original version of it..."in like Flynn"!
(...ain't that right,Tom...though of course there's no dishonor in playing off the later James Coburn reference either, finance)

Jan-Michael Vincent
(...oh, and I got the Diana Rigg one earlier because, well, it looked just like her but just a whole lot younger, that's all)
-
-
Nope, I'm pretty sure that isn't Ron Silver, Mr.H.
-
Oooh...good one, KD. I know I've seen this actor playing a lot of characters on TV dramas along the line of the "smartassed Public Defender type" or the "young university professor type", but I don't know if I know his name.
I'm sure somebody will get it.
(...however NOW, and this might only be ME thinkin' this, BUT if you'd photoshop a little swastika on this guy's forehead, I'll give ya THREE guesses who I think he might look like, anyway!!!)

Wow Dothery, when I read this that you wrote about Milburn and the Diva...
>Apparently she had ignored his greeting when they picked her up in the car on their first day, and a couple of days later she tried to get him to go to lunch or something, and he said, "You've established that you are the star of this film; and that being the case, I'd feel awkward going to lunch with you.
...All I could think of was Don Lockwood's first meeting with Lina Lamont!!!
(...though I too am glad to hear Milburn's relationship with said Diva apparently turned out better than Don and Lina's did)

Yeah, I remember that syndicated game show, dpompper. Its title was "Don Adam' Screen Test", hosted by ol' Maxwell Smart himself. It didn't last very long, one season, 1975-76.
And yep, I remember when the "The Prisoner of Zenda" was done on it.
Here's the lone video on YouTube for this show which featured a very young James Caan acting with a young aspiring actress....
(...who most likely shortly thereafter returned back to Memphis TN, married a chiropractor, had three children, started drinking, got divorced, and now lives with her oldest daughter and her husband)

(...and in my very best Percy Kilbride voice...)
Yea-ah, I believe there's a young man who goes by the name of "BasilBruce" around he'ah who's just about your age, young man.

That's kind of a long story here, Hibi, but the short version is that the town got it's name from the local indigenous tribe of the "Walla Walla". And legend has it that similarly to how another well-known tribe, the Wheredafahgowee got there name because they would often get lost while sourcing food on the land they inhabited, the Walla Walla is said to have gotten their name because their native tongue when spoken sounded a lot like how Jimmy Stewart sounded when he'd often start a sentence.
(...yeah, you guessed it..."Mr. Peabody and Sherman" were some of my favorite cartoons back in the day)

Btw heuriger, to answer your eariler question...Adam West...though I have to admit I cheated and typed into Google: "Walla Walla WA notable people".
(...oh and also btw, just as in my "George Nader/Joan Crawford" made-up movie in that other thread the other day, I've never even been to Walla Walla WA let alone lived there...I just like the sound of that town's name and was making another joke about that picture down there with the young lady holding up that sign, and who I also have NO idea who she is EITHER!)

I don't think there's all that much in common with the earlier Wilder film other than the idea of some kind of nuanced "insider's look" at the "Hollywood scene".
I think you might like it too, Fred, and suggest you either seek it out for rental, or at least if you might happen to see it listed on some TV channel beforehand, make a note to yourself to watch it.

Which of course they have already done in the past. At least I know I've watched old Kinescope teleplays in the past on TCM, anyway...AND I enjoyed them.
However, I also have a feeling that many of our fellow TCM fans here might have primarily watched them NOT for the scripts or in most cases the stagebound production of them, BUT mostly just to see their favorite actors perform in them.
And so, if the basic rationale of those who have contributed to this thread and who have voiced their opposition to slaytonf's suggestion is that "Made-for-TV-Movies are inferior to studio era films" in some manner-(and I hope I'm not creating a "strawman argument" here, but I really feel that THIS is the impression I'm getting here) -then I must question that point because there are MORE than a few MFTVMs that were produced throughout the '70s and '80s with FAR better production values AND scripts than SOME of the "Playhouse 90", "US Steel Hour" and other early TV productions.
Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?
