ayresorchids Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I love her also in Blue Skies, when Bing Crosby sings her a cute song called "Running Around in Circles." Her reactions to him are so real and sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeanddaisy666 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 No doubt about it, character actors are my very favorite of all. Sorry Warren.... They're just so much more real than the stars of their day, due to the fact that they weren't drop dead gorgeous and had to take soooo many roles just to keep food on the table. I love them all and thank them from the bottom of my heart. Okay, who is Tim Hovey? I'd love to see the man behind Jiminy Cricket. And what character did Otis from The Andy Griffith show portray? Thanks for solving these infernal, um, eternal mysteries of mine. What a lovely thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayresorchids Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Here's the voice of Jiminy Cricket, stoney: Cliff Edwards was once a big Broadway star, and appeared in several movies of the twenties and thirties. He was the first to sing "Singin' in the Rain" in a musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayresorchids Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Info on Hal Smith (who played Otis Campbell on "The Andy Griffith Show") from Wikipedia: Hal Smith was best known as Otis Campbell, the town drunk on The Andy Griffith Show and as the voice of the Disney cartoon character Goofy after the original voice died. He provided the voice of Owl in many of the Winnie the Pooh shorts and features. In 1983, he reprised his role as Owl and also voiced Winnie The Pooh in Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore. It was the first and only time he did Pooh. In 1988's The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh TV series, Jim Cummings took over as Pooh while Smith again played Owl. He did much work in Hanna-Barbera cartoons in the 1970s, and in the early 1960s, he voiced Taurus, the Scots-accented mechanic of the spaceship Starduster for the series Space Angel. For Disney's DuckTales he was the voice of Scrooge McDuck's rival Flintheart Glomgold and absent-minded scientist Gyro Gearloose. From 1987 to 1994, he was the voice of John Avery Whittaker on the Focus on the Family radio drama Adventures in Odyssey. He was born in Petoskey, Michigan. Smith spent a significant part of his early years in Massena, New York. He died in Woodland Hills, California of a heart attack, at age 77.

pintorini Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 > Okay, who is Tim Hovey? Tim Hovey was a child actor who some producer or studio decided was winsome for about 15 minutes in the early 50's. All I really know about him is that Maureen O'Hara said he acted like a complete brat on the set of Everything But the Truth--a really terrible family film from the early 50's--and that he was the road manager for The Grateful Dead for a while as an adult. Sadly, he died fairly young of a drug overdose several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdb1 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 In addition, Tim Hovey was an extremely small and very winning actor in two films I remember - "Toy Tiger" and "The Private War of Major Benson." We talked a bit about that one just recently on the thread about obscure good movies. I thought Hovey was very good in both films, natural, not obnoxious, and he was so small against his co-stars, Jeff Chandler in Toy Tiger and Charlton Heston in Major Benson, but held his own very well. I'm sorry to hear that he misbehaved offscreen as a child, but I did know about his untimely and unlovely death in the late 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
