LiamCasey Posted April 4, 2015 Is this James Stewart and The Murder Man? Depending upon the time frame that that movie was made, Virginia Bruce was either still married to or had just divorced John Gilbert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted April 4, 2015 Is this James Stewart and The Murder Man?

'40s film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarmaGirl Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks DGF. Byron Barr took his screen name from a role he played in a movie. Who did Byron Barr become and what was the movie he took his screen name from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted April 8, 2015 He became Gig Young. The movie was "The Gay Sisters". There was already an actor named Byron Barr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaGirl Posted April 8, 2015 Correct Miles (and quick too). The thread is yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks. Changing one's professional name to the name of a character has been done several times in Hollywood history. Jane Powell and Anne Shirley both took their names from characters they played. So did an actor named Justus McQueen. What name did he adopt as his own?

MilesArcher Posted April 9, 2015 Correct, KarmaGirl. Justus McQueen played Pvt. L.Q. Jones in the 1955 movie "Battle Cry". He then adopted the character's name as his own professional name. Personally, I kind of like his original name more. KarmaGirl, you're up next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaGirl Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks Miles and I agree, his real name was better. Name Clark Kent's favorite movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaGirl Posted April 11, 2015 Thanks Miles and I agree, his real name was better. Name Clark Kent's favorite movie. Hint: The movie will be on TCM on May 30th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted April 11, 2015 Hint: The movie will be on TCM on May 30th. I believe know this, but wanted to give others a shot. To Kill A Mockingbird ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaGirl Posted April 12, 2015 I believe know this, but wanted to give others a shot. To Kill A Mockingbird ? Yes. Somehow this did not surprise me. Your thread Kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks Miles and I agree, his real name was better. Name Clark Kent's favorite movie. "Superman" was on mostly in the '50s. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD was released in 1962. I'm confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted April 12, 2015 "Superman" was on mostly in the '50s. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD was released in 1962. I'm confused. I believe the timeline(s) for Superman in comic books are more corrupted than those of Star Trek. I think it's supposed to be a more recent Clark Kent (DC Comics) who's favorite movie is To Kill A Mockingbird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kid Dabb Posted April 12, 2015 Thank you, KarmaGirl; DGF Next: It is stated (arguably, IMO) Holly Hunter is one of three actresses to receive an Academy Award for Best Actress in the post-silent era for a specific type of role. Can you name the other two actresses? Type of role optional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
