Recommended Posts

One of my favorite westerns is *The Big Country* Gregory Peck and William Wyler fought during the making of the film, I was very disappointed in that, Love both Peck and Wyler and their politics were similiar so very surprising. Peck and Heston I understand or Heston and Wyler would have made more sense. Peck and Wyler left on bad terms.

(Re-edited) Okay...

 

For this 1948 melodrama, Greta Garbo was sought out to play the lead role, even though she had retired from the screen. Marlene Dietrich had hoped to star in it, but was not selected. Eventually it became a memorable picture with this leading lady. Name the picture and the actress.

This one may be a little too obscure, maybe not, but it is an amusing little piece of useless trivia gathered from the Hollywood cemetery kick I have been on for the last couple years. If I don't hear a correct answer in the next few hours, or even a response, I'll give the answer, okay? Here goes:

 

The famous pin-up girl Bettie Page is buried at Westwood Cemetery in California. What prolific actor, mostly TV, is buried in the plot right next to her with a marker so close that you would swear they were a couple? Not, of course.

 

P.S. Sorry it took so long. I just got off work. I am quite busy this time of year.

Good Morning, all! Yep, that's it. I find this fact to be more than mildly amusing. When I visited Westwood, two young tourists were meditating and taking lots of photos at Bettie Page's grave. Since the girl fan was actually crying, I did not think it was appropriate to make light of the "relationship" with her "neighbor" at that time. They say politics makes for strange bed fellows. Well, so do Hollywood cemeteries. Forgive my little digression, Miles. The thread is yours.

Thanks, Tommy. An actor who was a regular on a popular sixties sitcom, playing a friend of the star, left the show to star in a new sitcom that lasted only one season. He then returned to his original show and stayed with it until the series ended. Do you know who this actor is and the two shows he was in? It's not Tim Conway.
