They all won Oscars for Best Picture?

By the way, nice to see you back on the boards!

FDR?
No, that's not the name. The person referred to in the song is a fictional person. During the song, Cagney and Leslie spell out his name.

I figured you would like it! You did a great job...the Jean Simmons two-parter is definitely one of my favorites. I didn't realize Glynis Johns had appeared...I must have missed that episode. A friend of mine who did a role on a daytime soap for a few years was featured in two episodes from the later seasons (when they used more soap stars instead of movie stars) and he said Lansbury was wonderful to work with...
Thanks!
The Jean Simmons two-part episode is one of my favorites, too. Simmons was wonderful in the role of Eudora. (What a name!)
By the way, Glynis Johns appeared in the episode called "Sing a Song of Murder". Olivia Hussy also appeared in this episode. Angela Lansbury had a dual role as Jessica Fletcher and cousin Emma McGill. In this episode, Angela Lansbury sang "Goodbye, Little Yellow Bird" (the song that she sang in The Picture of Dorian Gray.) I'm surprised that Hurd Hatfield didn't appear in this episode!
That's so cool that you know someone who appeared on this show! It's nice to know that your friend enjoyed working with Lansbury. I've often wondered what she was like in real life. I've always loved the fact that this show used a wide variety of actors -- from newbies to major stars and everyone in between. It seemed like it was important to Lansbury to give all actors a chance. I especially appreciate the fact that she made it a point to have the old Hollywood stars appear on her show. When I first started watching this show, I wasn't really into old movies that much. Now that I've become a classic movie fan, I appreciate this show even more. It's fun to see which Golden-Age star will appear next!
OK, sorry for rambling on. My answers for the next category will be in my next post.

Sounds interesting...I assume Bully originally had an 'R' because of violence??
Before I read the article, I assumed the same thing. Actually, it was the language in the documentary that got the film its R rating. Apparently, the "F" word was used several times. Because this film was aimed at teenagers, there was a big fight to get the rating lowered to PG-13. The filmmakers wanted this film to be able to be shown in schools. To get their desired rating, a few "F" words were edited out of the movie.

DGF and I may be sports fans, but most of the people on these boards probably never heard of Sean Lee and Quincy Carter.
...or Roy Nelson
Miles, Gipper isn't the only one who has posted names that seemed rather obscure, so I'm not sure why you singled him/her out. I've seen a few other names that had me scratching my head in confusion. Some names were even hard to search for on Google. Since this is a movie forum, shouldn't we try to stick to actors and actresses (preferably ones that aren't too obscure)? If names from outside the movies must be used, then they should be really well-known by most people. What do you think?

Your turn, Swithin.

Not too long ago, I read about the controversy surrounding an anti-bullying documentary called Bully. It initially got an R rating, but it later got a PG-13 rating.
