starliteyes Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 That is correct, lav, except that it was a custody trial. She and Dr. Franklyn Thorpe were already divorced at the time. She was playing the role of Edith Cortwright in Dodsworth and that's who she channeled throughout the trial. Ruth Chattereton, the female star of Dodsworth, lent her staunch support during the trial, always accompanying her and sitting by her side during the proceedings. You're up next, lav.

lavenderblue19 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yes, I know the story. Mary won custody of her daughter in the end, just like Mary's character in Dodsworth winds up with Walter Huston in the end. To me, Mary Astor was one of the most fascinating people on and off the screen. Next When interviewed about her father, she said that he told her that he fell madly in love with his co-star while filming. Both stars of the film are legendary. Who were the 2 stars and what was the film ?? Extra for who told the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Here's a possibility that almost fits the clues, Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda appeared in a 1935 movie called "I Dream Too Much", although Lucy had a supporting role and Henry was the male lead. It was a mid-thirties, not late thirties movie. The two starred in 1942's "The Big Street", which was a Damon Runyon story. Many years later, in 1968, they starred in "Yours, Mine, And Ours", which was based on a true story. If this is the correct answer, then the story would have been told by Henry's daughter, Jane.

You're too much of a gentleman to ask the unsavory question about what happened to the engagement.🙉🙈🙊 But we'll save that for another day. Brod's mother was Helen Broderick, the supporting actress in Fred and Ginger's "Top Hat". Lucy was the uncredited female clerk in the floral shop scene. She has her back to the camera, but every "I Love Lucy" fan immediately recognized her voice and knew it was her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 You are correct, Princess. I found this interesting article. In 1936 Lucille Ball was engaged to be married to actor Broderick Crawford. If they had married and had children, do you suppose they would look like him? Princess, it's your turn next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Tap Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Next: Ralph Bellamy was a fine actor who ultimately won acclaim portraying FDR. But prior to that, he was often portrayed in comedies as the guy, who came close, but who never got the girl. Can you name 4 movies where Bellamy struck out? Also, list the starring actor who won the girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Tap Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Lav, that's an excellent answer and you got most of my favorites too. Ralph Bellamy may have been typecast, but he really gave us some memorable moments in those roles. Lav, you're up..... 6 hours ago, lavenderblue19 said: 1.

lavenderblue19 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Doris and the film Julie is correct In her autobiography she talks about how Melcher was angry and jealous of her friendship with Louis Jourdan, Melcher at one point hit a wall with his first.More than " somewhat jealous *. Doris' first husband Al Jordan was obsessively jealous of Doris and would sometimes beat her when she spoke to other men. In her book. she talks about going g to a deli, a man approached her they chatted for a few seconds.When she got back to their apartment, Jordan beat her punching her in the stomach and throwing her against a wall. She was pregnant at the time with her son Terry She also writes about how her 2nd husband George Weidler was jealous of her success and that's what broke up their marriage. According to Doris, the film Julie brought back some bad memories and Melcher's attitude towards her close friendship with Louis Jourdan did not make for a happy experience for her. Your thread Star.
