Yasuhara, Yoshito ( actor known for being the Japanese dubbing voice of actor Mickey Rourke)

Does Shirley Temple Black count? cause that's what she called herself after the silver screen

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers Jonathan Rhys-Davies Chow Yun-Fat Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, anyone?) Brian Doyle-Murray (the brother who's always cast in his more famous brother's movies) Joseph Gordon-Levitt (love him since his teen years in Greg Araki's "Mysterious Skin" and more recently in "inception" and "Dark Knight" series) Nicholas Coster-Waldau (GOT made him famous) Kodi Smit-McPhee ("Let Me In" is one of my favorite vampire movies) And, finally, Moon Unit Zappa--had to get her in there cause I love typing that name and I love the original "National Lampoon Vacation" series

I agree on "Road to Wellville" would like to see it again. Thanks for that. This thread is great for discovering movies or rediscovering them. That's what I love about it, TopBilled. You said it in a previous post and I agree. Doing the research then reading others' posts really brings back some good movies to my mind and reminds me to watch them again or it encourages me to watch movies I've never heard of...thanks.

"Night and the City" (1950) I watched it for the first time, if you can believe this of a Noir fan, but it is true. I was amazed. It had everything: black-and-white stark, rich cinematography; incredible script; great performances both large and small; and characters from Mike Mazurski to midgets to scamming beggars dressed for optimum effect with fake limbs and dark glasses pretending to be blind--all run by a Fagin-like James Hayter playing Figler, King of the Beggars; Herbert Lom as a particularly nasty wrestling promoter; and finally, Richard Widmark. Widmark's manic, sweaty performance is one I had seen featured in montages about film noir, but I never realized how great he is in this film. His blond hair flops and flips as he goes through highs and lows in his career as a small-time con man hoping to hit it rich with his next scheme that's just around the corner; only to end ignominiously dumped in the Thames (I assume, coz it's London). As for characters, there was Googie Withers as the deceptive Helen, Francis L. Sullivan as the overweight and overwrought Phil Nosseros, Ada Reeve as Molly the Flower Lady, who ends up scoring the biggest pay-off in the whole desperate gang. I loved the jangly, jarring soundtrack by Franz Waxman and the POV direction focused on Widmark's Harry Fabian character by Jules Dassin. And Eddie M. gave great intro and outro on the ins and outs of getting this movie made from 1938 when the book rights were sold to someone else and failed scripts were written to Darryl F. Zanuck digging up director Jules Dassin in Europe after he was hounded by HUAC to its filming in London (because of studio financial benefit) to finally being released in 1950. It don't like stars or ratings, but I have to say this is a film noir that defines the genre for me. (It's too bad Gene Tierney didn't have much of role and that her character was changed from a prostitute to a nightclub singer. I would have liked to see her in the former role with more screen time.)

Dangerous Liaisons--I love her advice about men as Madame de Rosemonde

Yes, I remember her from soaps too. She was in "One Life to Live," "Another World" and "The Edge of Night." My grandma and I used to love that breathy voice and crazy antics of hers.

She was 83. She was also an accomplished stage actress and won a Tony for Neil Simon's Chapter Two (altho she was not in the film). She had a husky voice and a Southern accent and a pile of dark hair that was usually teased up on top and flowed down her back. The link is to her obit in the Hollywood Reporter.
