Gip-- I've met Mickey Rooney. I think I would have held out for Jackie Cooper. Jane Fonda just so I could tell her off. Next: Sammy Davis Jr or Peter Lawford?

Sonny worked for Phil Spector and got Cher a job singing backup on the song just once in my life. Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys recorded a killer version of Just Once in My Life for their 15 Big Ones album. FYI-- Spector also had a big influence on Brian Wilson!

I don't know how this guy found the time to be in all those movies. Because he was in just about every other TV show that I watched every week. "Deac"--that's Richard Deacon from the Dick Van Dyke Show

Cole Porter often changed lyrics for Hollywood versions of his shows because the Broadway lyrics were too risque or they wanted to update them. But let's make one thing perfectly clear. Cole Porter was paid to do that by the studio and there was no ad libbing in any movie concerning a Cole Porter song when he was alive and he was under contract for that movie. FYI-- Cole usually worked for MGM in Hollywood. Now having said that, it's true that in Frank Sinatra's personal performances, in concert and on records - - he's sang Cole Porter lyrics however way he felt like singing. That was Frank Sinatra. And it was well known that Cole Porter did not like it. As for Judy Garland, she often did the same thing whether it was Porter or somebody else because she often forgot the lyrics. The only difference was Sinatra did it on purpose, Judy couldn't help it. Star,you are still up - -

I've always associated this director with Clark Gable. Sometimes I think there'd be no Clark Gable if there hadn't been Victor Fleming. From 1933- 1945 he directed Clark Gable 5 times at MGM. As so much of the gable persona was worked with in coordination with Victor Fleming. From 1937 to 1943, Fleming also worked 5 times with Spencer Tracy. Coming from Broadway and Fox, Tracy obviously had a lot more experience and professionalism than Clark Gable had when he got to MGM. Fleming got some very outstanding performances from Spencer Tracy in Captains Courageous, Tracy's first Oscar and in dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde. Over the years the critics have given it for poor reviews against the Frederic March/ mamoulian version, however Tracy's performance is devastatingly exciting and frightening, while Ingrid Bergman's is sensitive and understated. I'm rather reluctant to give Victor Fleming complete credit for either the Wizard of Oz or gone with the wind. There was just too much involvement with too many people for us to be sure what was really going on at any one time. But the fact remains that he was at the helm for the majority of both of those iconic films. Although Fleming started as a cinematographer, I don't believe that his experience in that area had a lot to do with the success of his films. At MGM he had the best cinematographers in Hollywood working on his films. He can't take credit for the cinematography entirely when he had artists like Harold Rosson, Ray June, Arthur Edson, Joseph Ruttenberg, Ernest Haller, or Lee Garmes, all powerful professionals in their own right. Fleming was a workhorse director who knew how to pull good performances from high-level actors and who knew how to pull a movie together in utter chaos. Whether or not you want to give him the complete credit for either the Wizard of Oz or gone with the wind would remain very controversial. Suffice it to say he may be at the top of the journeyman list of the MGM studio directors. And he certainly was pivotal in Clark Gable's career.

Vincent Price lent a great deal of authenticity to Michael Jackson's Thriller video.

NO CONTEST--KATE NEXT: Sophia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida?

Star-- you are very astute. And those lyrics are from Well, Did You Evah! By Cole Porter, as they were presented in the original Broadway production of Du Barry Was a Lady. But they were not the lyrics that Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby used in the movie High Society. Cole Porter songs had so many verses that they had to pick and choose the lyrics that they would use for the movies. But often that had a lot to do with the lyrics that could pass the censor. Sometimes Cole would actually just have to change the words, In order to use the song in the movie. Well,Star-- - next July we collide with Mars-- until then its your turn - -

Yes, she was magnificent in everything she did. DJ-- you are up--

Lawrence, I had to go to the movies on a school night to see this one! Again we've got music from the Father of Rock 'n Roll, as Eric Burdon and The Animals performed Chuck Berry's Around and Around. Lawrence, you're up--

Joan Crawford

The first director that you're referencing-- would we refer to him as a classic film director? Without being picky, did this director have a major contribution to cinema before 1975?

This fun movie features two top British Invasion groups. The star was a former Miss America. Can you name the movie, Miss America, the two groups - - and wouldn't it be nice if you could name some of the songs that they played in the movie?

Both these guys kinda scare me-- But I'll take Henry Danielle from a distance. Next: Mary Boland or Spring Byington?

Lawrence, apparently Tuesday Weld had a teen movie career before she was ever on Dobie Gillis. And Tuesday starred in the Alan Freed rock and roll musical Rock Rock Rock. Chuck Berry's You Can't Catch Me was the only song that I was singing from this movie in 1956.

Right, Azure. It must be one of the very few songs that Brian Wilson never wrote. The Beach Boys with Annette performing the Monkey's Uncle. Azure--you're up--

Uncharacteristically John Ford made a movie about a strong woman and to play the part they had to have a strong actress and that was Katharine Hepburn in Mary, Queen of Scotland.

Marsha, you got it! You know I just love this movie. I just love vaudeville. Don't you love vaudeville too? Marsha, well done--You're up--
