DownGoesFrazier Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 OK, Dan, let me see if I can unload this thread: In the same vein: There is a high school in NYC that has among its alumni or alumnae two best actress Oscar winners, as well as at least two other notable classic film stars. Name the high school, and at least 4 notable film stars (who appeared in their first film prior to 1970) who are graduates of this high school.

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hint: The high school is in Brooklyn. Edited by: finance on May 11, 2010 10:58 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Another hint: K-K-Katie Edited by: finance on May 11, 2010 4:59 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Still another hint: One of the well-known actors to graduate from this high school is rumored to have some cross-dressing experience on his or her resume.

allaboutlana Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I might can take this off your hands. I don?t know what your clue, K-K-Katie, means, but is it Erasmus High School in Brooklyn where Jeff Chandler, Susan Hayward, Barbra Streisand, and Mae West went, though not all in the same graduating year, obviously?

cujas Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I can piggy-back on this and add Neil Diamond because he was in the same class with Barbra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 "K-K-Katie" is what Bradford Dillman called Katie Morowsky (Streisand) in THE WAY WE WERE. Eli Wallach was also an alumnus of Erasmus Hall, in addition to an impressive list of celebrities in other fields. It WAS, though, a very big school. Your thread, Lana.

allaboutlana Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I?ll go ahead with this. In 1942, some of the critics were disappointed that Ronald Reagan was not nominated for his work in Kings Row. Instead, this actor completed the top five nominees for Best Actor for his work in this forgotten war film, along with Cagney (who won), Cooper, Colman, and Pidgeon.

DownGoesFrazier Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 OK, I've got one. This actress had a very rewarding film debut. Not only did the film go a long way toward her becoming a star, but in it, she introduced a song which would become a standard, and would continue to be closely identified with her. Actress? Film? Song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'm sure this is not what you're thinking of-- but it certainly fits your criteria: Barbra Streisand, *Funny Girl*, "People" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 It doesn't fit the criteria. "People" was not introduced in the FUNNY GIRL film. It was introduced in the prior Broadway show. Hint: The film was a late '40s film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Could it be Doris Day in "Romance On The High Seas", where she sang "It's Magic"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Technicality--"People" was introduced to movies at that time. I was thinking of Doris Day too in *"It's Magic", but I don't believe she's really identified that much with that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Correct, Miles. Your thread Edited by: finance on May 13, 2010 4:44 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Until you said it was made in the late '40s, I was going to guess Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz with Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I would have been wrong, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 .....and THE WIZARD OF OZ was not Judy's film debut, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
