Did it occur to you that sometimes more than 1 poster is responding almost simultaneously? I can assure you I don't respond to questions already answered. It's called the internet. There is often a lag between when something is posted and when it shows up on another's screen. It's not necessary to nit pick. This site is just a folly. Have fun. You know...is there anything wrong if 2 posters answer? If there are 2 outstanding questions? Of course not. 😊😎😅🤪

George Kennedy Next; RENDEVOUS (1935) NOBODY'S FOOL (1936) BANJO ON MY KNEE (1936) TRAIN TO ALCATRAZ (1948) DRANGO (1957)

You know TopBilled, nobody cares? It's a game. Relax and have fun with it. Sheesh.....

Brandon Hurst....Yikes, that's going back in time. I know very little about the silent movie era. I had to do a little digging. Good one. Next; RENDEVOUS (1935) NOBODY'S FOOL (1936) BANJO ON MY KNEE (1936) TRAIN TO ALCATRAZ (1948) DRANGO (1957)

It's off screen and implied at the end of the movie, but Kate has her head chopped off in MARY OF SCOTLAND (1936). I saw it last week and it's a beautiful film. Next: Maximillian Schell

He died a lot. But I'd say his Marc Antony suicide in CLEOPATRA would be one of his best as Elizabeth Taylor cradled him in her arms as he expired. I could think of worse ways to go. Next: Mick Jagger

William Shatner kills her in IMPULSE (1974). I'm not sure Shatner played a bad guy all that much. I'll have to keep my eyes open for this one. Next: Rosalind Russell

I just watched THE PHANTOM OF THE RUE MORGUE and noticed Merv Griffin in it. I did not know he had an acting background. Also, TPOTRM was a pretty dumb movie. Karl Malden must of wanted a pay day.

Earl Holliman...a remember him in GIANT (1956) Next: BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON (1953) SO THIS IS LOVE (1953) THREE SAILORS AND A GIRL (1953) PHANTOM OF THE MORGUE (1954) INSIDE DAISY CLOVER (1965)

Last night after watching a DVR'd movie I caught the ad for TCM's showing of these "woke" violating films with the host's yakkity yakking about the "troubling" scenes of black face or scenes of slavery in GONE WITH THE WIND. ...blah, blah, blah. I don't know who they're talking to? Those of us who are devoted TCM viewers know all this stuff already. We know Al Jolson performed in black face and Astaire did too. We've all seen GWTW 20 times and we know about Hattie McDaniel. Sheesh....are they trying to tell us because we appreciate these movies that we shouldn't? Are they talking to people who do not watch TCM that TCM is woke and they should watch TCM because they show these movies purposefully to show these troubling scenes and there's lots of other movies that are not racist, homophobic, misogynistic drivel? If they ran their ads on CNN or MSNBC I'd say they were. But running the promos on their own station where only their most devoted viewers are likely to see them is, IMHO, them trying to deflect criticism of the movies they show that they know their audience wants to see. Basically, they're telling the world we know these movies are R, H and M but that's our audience and you should condemn them, not us. It's pathetic. All they're doing is alienating us....their core constituency.

Thelma Ritter. We should start a contest on "Who wasn't in HOW THE WEST WAS WON". 😁 Next: THE PRESIDENT VANISHES (1934) THE PETRIFIED FOREST (1936) HIGH SIERRA (1941) FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1950) THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956)

A bit off topic, but when I was a teenager I was a stock boy in a department store. Whenever there was a clean up required...like someone dropped and broke a bottle of shampoo or something or other they would announce over the store intercom, "Paging Mrs. F.D. Roosevelt please come to checkout #2....Mrs. F.D. Roosevelt please come to checkout #2." I would grab a mop and pail and scurry off to counter #2.

I think Gene Hackman shoots him in THE HUNTING PARTY (1971) Next: Sidney Poitier

Daisy Earles...another nice get. Her brother, Harry was also in those movies except for THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. While I did not remember the actors names, I have vivid memories of my first time seeing FREAKS. It was in college at a weekend showing at an on campus film festival of odd, old movies. REEFER MADNESS was in the group. It might have been a double feature. FREAKS freaked me out. I've never forgotten it. NEXT: KING OF THE GYPSIES (1978) GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) RUNNING ON EMPTY (1988) IN & OUT (1997) DOUBT (2008)

Hint: His character died or was portrayed as dead in 3 movies. All came out in the early 50's.

June Havoc. An interesting actress. Not an all together happy life despite being well received on stage and screen. Nice pick. Next: DESTINATION TOKYO (1943) BRUTE FORCE 1947) HE WALKED BY NIGHT (1948) HUD (1963) SOYLENT GREEN (1973)

THE MORTAL STORM (1940) Next: Bob Hope

Anyone?

C'mon TCM members. Get to it!

Kathy Shaidle was a Canadian writer who recently died after a dreadful battle with ovarian cancer. She was only in her 50's. She wrote some incredible reviews and remembrances about film. I think many TCM members would enjoy her writing. I looked forward to her weekly missives. Here is a sampling of her work. I miss her. Kathy Shaidle at the Cinema :: SteynOnline

The late Kathy Shaidle wrote a wonderful piece about Vincent Price. He was known to be very friendly and approachable. I share her remembrance here. The Hilarious House of Frightenstein :: SteynOnline

When I think of George Segal I think of BLUME IN LOVE (1973). It was a first date movie with a girl I was particularly fond of. Funny what reminds you of things. Another first date movie was LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR (1977). That relationship got off to a curious start and kinda went off the rails from there. 🤪

Ving Rhames...love that guy Next: WITNESS (1985) FRESH HORSES (1988) YOUNG GUNS II (1990) THE INDIAN RUNNER (1991) CRIMSON TIDE (1995)

Anybody?

Bronson nails him at the end of ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. The look on Fonda's face when he stuffs the harmonica in his mouth is priceless. Next: Helen Hayes
