Bringing Up Baby Cary Grant's nerdy professor, David Huxley, is this close to entering a sexless, loveless marriage with Miss Peabody when he meets Katharine Hepburn's free-spirited Susan Vance. She leads him on a merry chase across the Connecticut countryside, does him out of a $1,000,000 donation, gets him arrested, breaks up his engagement and destroys his dinosaur. And it's the best time he's ever had in his life. Edited by: traceyk65 on Feb 10, 2011 10:14 AM for TYPOS. I have GOT to learn to type.

Touring a singing act after a successful acting career doesn't necessarily prove one is a good singer, just that one has a following from the acting. My assertion was that if she hadn't been a film star, she could have been a singing star. I think it just may be an acquired taste for modern audiences? Most people for whom I have played her songs just look at me like I am crazy (but then I get that about old movies a lot too)..,and there are several people on these boards who don't care for her singing either.

No problem. Seems like an interstng thread!

> {quote:title=finance wrote:}{quote} > I don't know whether you are being tongue in cheek, but later in life, when her film career was winding down, Marlene DID tour with a singing act, with a young Burt Bacharach spending time as her accompanist. And she was already a well--known musical stage star in Berlin (and was beginning to make her mark in films), before von Sternberg "discovered" her. I think she'd recorded "Jonny" and "Peter" before she ever left Berlin.

According to this website, it was Jack Braun in 1906's Dream of the Rarebit Fiend: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/21/the-ultimate-movie-spitta_n_812174.html My question would be, does anyone do this in real life??

And Happy Birthday!

Huh. And I always though that George Lucas was the first to really cash in on movie merchandise. But apparently it was Walt Disney, to a ridiculous degree. "Snow White" foundation garments? Really??

But if she wanted to be taken seriously as an actress and activist, not the best choice for her (though she did look fabulous).

> {quote:title=ValentineXavier wrote:}{quote} > Marlene Dietrich should have been the first one mentioned! True, but her singing is sort an acquired taste. I personally like it, but there a lot of people don't.
