  1. TopBilled,

     

    "Babe" is an excellent 1975 Telefilm starring Susan Clark as Babe Didrickson and Alex Karras as her husband George Zaharias. I tried googling to see if it was on Youtube but they only had a trailer to the movie and I believe only 15 minutes of the film. It is on DVD. Miss Clark met Mr. Karras during the making of the film and were married soon after. Miss Clark won an Emmy Award for her performance. The film was directed by Buzz Kulik. The cast includes Jeannette Nolan, Slim Pickens, Ford Rainey, Ellen Geer and Arch Johnson. Good production and well worth watching.

  4. Azure, This is the great character actor Charles Lane who passed away at the ripe young age of 102. He probably worked with more directors than I can think of, but he was always a part of Frank Capra's great ensemble of character actors. Truly incredible actor.
