ROFL

Indeed ! Here's one from the beginning of his tenure at TCM.

Yep, that's R.O. from his guest spot on Beverly Hillbillies in 1962. I was wondering how long before someone figured out I was trying to sneak one past .

Although I have it on good authority that Granny added her trademark Rheumatiz Medicine to her Wishbone when the Clampett kin folk set down to eat their victuals and greens. :^0

Time to resurrect this thread. Here's a couple of lookalikes that's bound to elicit laughter.

I read a biography on Cagney that said he was 5'6 1/2" At least we can say with certainty that he was taller than Prince. LOL

Meanwhile, as we await confirmation, we have this dapper chap to contemplate.

On the other hand, no one could play the role of the mousy little guy quite like *Hervé Villechaize. *

> . I would not be averse to seeing films like Deer Hunter, Dog DayAfternoon, Serpico, Sophie's Choice or Mean Streets on TCM. All those films have been shown on TCM !

The Big 8

Bill Kennedy's most famous role was a fellow passenger to Bette Davis in Now,Voyager. Here's another local television icon.

Or what about a biopic on Johannesburg native Basil Rathbone's love of grapes titled, The Grapes of Rathbone.

I too miss the wonders of Karnak so I'll have to enjoy just the pictures.

I wish TCM would show Orson Welles on Carson. I don't believe he is scheduled. What a shame. Orson and Johnny were magic.

Happy Fourth !

Yep, alot of people say Loss Angeles like Jack Webb did. I prefer to say Los with the o as a long 'o' as in the Spanish pronunciation. Here is a nice article on this whole L.A. kerfuffle. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jun/26/local/la-me-0626-then-20110626

Dargo, Here is a pic of Sheb Wooley shortly after his aforementioned song hit #1 on the U.S. Charts in 1958. He is dressed incognito in order to avoid the mass of people that came out to greet him when he landed at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Kinda reminds you of another performer who was also partial to purple and who avoided passengers on planes, trains and automobiles.

In 1789, Marie Antoinette had the same thought in mind when she suggested that the starving Parisian peasants be given "cake" because there was a shortage of bread in Paris. Just a little primer for upcoming Bastille Day on July 14.

Nice picture of Orson dressed in character for the 1957 film he made for Universal International Pictures, Man in the Shadow.

Did we ever confirm that Robert Warwick was the correct answer to the last pic posted by Miles?

That's Robert Warwick. He was in Sullivan's Travels, which recently aired on TCM.

FredCDobbs wrote; Generally, the "producer" of a film is the money man. He raises the money or begs the studio heads for the money, and the studio heads mainly only care about making money. But some times a good director will concentrate very much on art in making a film and I wonder how he can talk a producer into letting him get artsy. Or maybe he just does it without asking. *In the case of "Citizen Kane", Orson wa**s in charge of production and George Schaefer was the executive producer who was uncredited. So bascially, Orson was his own boss and he had final cut of the film. That's why it turned out the way it did.*

And also it's why 'their art' has stood the test of time because it was created without the commerical concerns of Hollywood. $$$

Cry Havoc from 1943 was about combat nurses in the Phillipines after Pearl Harbor. It has virtually no scenes with male actors sans( ) a brief Robert Mitchum scene. It starred Margaret Sullavan and Fay Bainter et al.
