Sorry, I didn't read the question. I thought Jack Lemmon was the answer. So someone else can finis it.

Since I don't know who Paul is and I've been watching Bob Newhart on TV since 1959. I guess we'll go with Newhart. Next: Lenny Bruce or Richard Pryor?

Being a woman, I only watched Westerns that featured actors that I really loved or had a good role for a woman. So naturally I've never seen this one. I Didn't Know Jack Lemmon was in westerns, but he was married to Felicia Farr.

My favorite Western Star, Randolph Scott Next: Brenda Marshall Holden or Gloria Hatrick Stewart

Mr. Gorman, it's your turn with another question--

JAMES- you're absolutely right aboutTHE BEATLES. That's why they were the top group in the 60s--they were tight. They had it all at one time and they had it all together and they had it now! They complemented each other perfectly. What THE STONES had was the technical superiority with the raw potential to go the distance. The Stones had a limited hit output of Music in the 60s. Some of the 45 didn't sell that well. Their albums we're experimental and not that good. When you look at their singles-- 19th Nervous Breakdown, Get off My Cloud, Paint It Black, Have you seen your Mother Baby, the Last Time, and of course,Satisfaction-- was there anybody else doing that? And JAMES-- I'm glad you brought up the Kinks... I don't know how to analyze it but I have spent hours listening to The Kinks it's just too enjoyable. As adequate as The Kinks played adequately--there's nothing wrong with Dave Davies-- the real problem was the song writing. It was repetitive and pretentious-- it's just not that great. That's what made Ray Davies' Lola so Unbelievable! Uniqueness of the song, the courage to do it, the brilliant theatricality of it and the entertainment in the number--just makes you wonder why no one else had the guts to do it first. Just look at Van Halen playing All the Day and All the Night - - it doesn't just get by--It's great. It's a solid sound and it sounds modern. We're talkin 50 years for all this rock music and it's really holding up.

Not even the Beach Boys were playing surf music in 1969. Do you have another hint?

It was the top TV show of its day. It was a particular genre that may have spawned several copycats.

Going back to the Monkees - - Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz were professional performers even as kids. They were hired because they really know how to sell a song. I always Turn up the radio on I'm not your stepping stone, Last Train to Clarksville and Pleasant Valley Sunday-- probably because I bought those records.. In the end I heard they became quite a tight little group in spite of their bizarre beginnings But after all even Gary Lewis & the Playboys have some songs that I really like to hear on the radio. And so did Dino Desi & Billy. And I also liked the Lovin Spoonful and the Turtles. The last two were quite good in terms of the writing and the presentation. It's all enjoyable, light-hearted fun and nostalgia, but it's not in the same light year with the Beatles or any of the other legendary groups we mentioned. Perhaps GPF is right, I studied classical music, I primarily listen to classical music, I play classical piano. So maybe I'm a little more demanding than the average listener. And with that background maybe I tend to classify music more. However, One thing that I noticed back in the sixties during the British Invasion was that although the Beatles were the top, at that time with the style of music and composing xcetera, the Stones were technically better musicians. Their musicianship was way above the rest. And that's something that you just can't ignore. Jeff Beck's Yardbirds, the Who were breathing down their necks along with the American Byrds. So while, we all enjoyed groups like Herman's Hermits, I believe we have enough discernment to understand that they're on a different level musically from the Beatles or the Stones. And that's not opinion that's fact.

Mr. Gorman you're still up--

Coin toss-Colbert Next: Carole Lombard or Constance Bennett?

They're all good--along with Brian, Frankle Valli, Barry Gibb & Daryl Hall -- and don't forget Righteous Brother Bobby Hatfield and Philip Bailey of Earth Wind & Fire. But I don't think Al Green has enough a output or career to be in the same category with these people, although he did sing that one song very nicely. FYI -- I have a CD of Daryl Hall and John Oates doing a concert at the Apollo Theatre with Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin. On MTV at the time they had the video--it was terrific!

Jake, I love the 1939 Oscar party photo-- GWTW stars Vivien Leigh and Olivia de Havilland with Irene Mayer Selznick. Irene was the daughter of Louis B. Mayer and the wife of David O. Selznick. She is a legend in her own right, as the original Broadway producer of Streetcar Named Desire. She casted Marlon Brando for the part of Stanley Kowalski, his breakthrough role. Also, as I look at Irene's table I can see the Irving G Thalberg Memorial Award for 1939, which went to her husband David O. Selznick for his body of work in motion pictures. It counts as an honorary Oscar.

Toss up for Palance! Next: Sandy Dennis or Lee Remick?

Guess-- Juanita Quigley
