3.) She made her film debut in the movie Stranded (1935).

That's correct! Good job, Lavender. This little cutie also appeared in All This and Heaven, Too with Bette Davis, Blossoms in the Dust with Greer Garson, Little Men with Kay Francis and A Dispatch from Reuter's with Edward G. Robinson. Quite impressive!
Your turn, Lavender.

Here are a few that I thought of off the top of my head:
- Yankee Doodle Dandy
- Gypsy
- The 7 Little Foys
- For Me and My Gal
I'll think of a few more to post later.

Thanks, Miles. And thanks for those videos. Yes, Mitzi Green was very talented. I just wanted to add that she also introduced the song "The Lady is a Tramp", which is one of my favorites.
Next: Do you recognize this cute little fella? This child actor appeared in several movies during the early-mid 1940s and worked with some of the top stars of that time.

Thanks, Miles. And thank you, Arsan, for chiming in with the correct answers! Funny, I should have known about the 3 Musketeers one. For some reason, I kept drawing a blank with that one. I wasn't completely sure about the "It's quilted" one. I thought that it could also be Bounty paper towels. I looked at a couple of old commercials for both products and decided to go with Quilted Northern. I had no idea that it was for aluminum foil!
I'm going to leave this thread open.

That's correct, Starlit. Your turn.

Thanks, Starlit.
Next: This actress married an actor who played her son in a well-known 1940s movie. Name the actress, the actor, and the 1940s movie that they both appeared in.

Now, we have all been bombarded with commercial slogans and jingles over the years. Some are entertaining, some are just plain annoying, but for some reason we remember them for a very long time. This is something that we've done before. Here is a list of commercial slogans and catch phrases from days gone by. Can you name the product associated with each one?
1. It's what's up front that counts
2. You've come a long way, baby!
3. It's not nice to fool mother nature
4. Look for the jar with the stars on the top
5. Outstanding,...and they are mild
6. Never had it, never will
7. At home, at work, or on the way
8. So big you can share
9. It's quilted
10. A silly millimeter longer
11. Helps build strong bodies twelve ways
12. Ring around the collar, ring around the collar!
13. Mother please, I'd rather do it myself!
14. I'd rather fight than switch
15. I can't believe I ate the whole thing!
Bonus: You press the button, we do the rest
I was waiting to see if someone else would tackle this, but since no one has, I'll take a stab at it. I knew some of these, but there were several that I had to look up.
1. Winston cigarettes
2. Virginia Slims cigarettes
3. Chiffon margarine
4. Maxwell House coffee
5. Pall Mall cigarettes
6. 7-Up
7. ?
8. ?
9. Quilted Northern toilet paper
10. Chesterfield 101 cigarettes
11. Wonder Bread
12. Wisk laundry detergent
13. Anacin
14. Tareyton cigarettes
15. Alka-Seltzer
Bonus: Kodak camera
I'm not sure about #7 and #8. I tried to do a Google search, but I came up empty-handed. Does anyone know the answers to these two?

Thanks, Azure. I would like to clear up a common misconception. Al Lewis did not play Grandpa Munster. He was Herman's father-in-law, so his name was not Munster. His character's name was Sam Dracula. I almost literally bumped into Al Lewis once. in the mid-1980's, I had gone to the Big East basketball tournament in Madison Square Garden. Between games, I went out to the concession stand and very nearly bumped into him. He was a large man wearing a white suit with a white fedora and no tie. He was smoking the biggest cigar I ever saw as he was talking to some people. I came within inches of bumping him. I said "excuse me". He smiled and nodded and I went on my way.
Wow, that's awesome that you got to see Al Lewis in person! I bet he must have been a sight to behold in that outfit.
By the way, thanks for setting the record straight on Lewis' character on The Munsters. I've heard many people refer to him as "Grandpa Munster".

By the way, GIPPER is male as in "George Gipp", (portrayed by Ronald Reagan in "Knute Rockne All-American")
I'm aware of who the "Gipper" is, but thanks for telling me. I didn't want to assume that you were a male based on your screen name. There have been several people on this forum that I thought were female and later found out that they were male (and vice versa). I had a friend on another forum who had a male screen name even though she's a female. I know that these kinds of things happen sometimes on online forums, so I try not to make any assumptions.

Thank you for writing that, Miles. I really appreciate it.

Mitzi Green?

Thanks, Azure. I just got back from a few wonderful days in Hawaii. OK. Let's try this one:
Lucky you! I hope you had a lot of fun.
Not sure about this one. The only thing I can think of is that they were all in a movie with Lucille Ball, but I'm sure that's not it. Do you mind giving a hint or another name?

1.) She was born June Dorothea Grabiner on August 7, 1914 in Chicago, Illinois.

Yes, it's "Anatole of Paris".....the man whose hat of the week caused 6 divorces and 3 runaway horses.
Good job, Miles. Your turn.

Regis Toomey's total surprises me...I never thought of him as being so prolific. And John Carradine's does too. Wow.
Anthony Quinn never took a break and spent many years working in Hollywood and overseas. Plus I don't remember him doing much television-- so it makes sense for him to have a lot of film credits.
I expected Mickey Rooney to have over 200 but I guess he wasn't as busy as I thought!
Some of these surprised me, too. I was also surprised by who didn't make the list. I thought that Frank McHugh, Mary Wickes and a few others would be shoo-ins, but they weren't. Some of them had a lot of credits on the IMDB page, but had far fewer on the TCM database. (They obviously did a lot of TV work.)
