Newsreel of crashed plane, Southwest of Grants NM, in a remote area of the desert, South of old Route 66. A newspaper report said the plane "iced up" and crashed in a thunderstorm.

This happened, I believe, while Liz was shooting CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF.

Thank you, KarmaGirl.

 

Richard Burton was signed for the lead in this film. When when the first two choices for the female lead didn't come through, a pop singer was signed. Mr. Burton balked at playing opposite a pop singer and he was replaced by the actor who recieved an Oscar nomination, but didn't win.

GOODBYE MR. CHIPS (1969) starring Peter O'Toole and Petula Clark?

This is one of your stranger questions! Not sure what you're looking for but I'll take a shot with Dean Martin ? the Browns was Jerry's hangout ( I've been there, a gazillion years ago) and Frank Sinatra first started out at the Rustic Cabin if I'm understanding the last clues? Frank Tashlin directed Dean in Artists and Models and Gordon Douglas directed Dean in Robin and the 7 Hoods ? so Dean is the link for all of them?
