Ok .You can have the podium since you had 66.6 % of the answer...Your turn.

 

1) Curly 2) Yes Sir That's My Baby 3) Once Upon A Time... are the answers.

[cujas]

I think the first question was the hardest. I yield to Lavendar.

[lavenderblue19]

Nah... you got 2/3's - and I've done a couple of these this week- it's all yours cujes, if you want it.

[DownGoesFrazier]

cujas, do you want this thread, or is it open?

[mudskipper]

Go ahead and post one , Finance, I don't think Cujas would mind. If he does, then you can just owe him one.... Let's keep the thread open.

[DownGoesFrazier]

Is it Norma Shearer, the actress, and Douglas Shearer, the MGM recording director?

[MilesArcher]

Is it Norma Shearer, the actress, and Douglas Shearer, the MGM recording director?

[DownGoesFrazier]

Yes it is, yes it is. Your thread, Miles.

[DownGoesFrazier]

Yes it is, yes it is. Your thread, Miles.

[MilesArcher]

Ok, Two other siblings had long careers in Hollywood, one primarily in front of the camera and one primarily behind the camera. They are two brothers. Who are they?

[DownGoesFrazier]

James and William Cagney?

[MilesArcher]

Not the Cagneys. William Cagney gave up acting to be his brother's agent. I'm talking about a well known director and his brother, who was an actor.

[SueSueApplegate]

Is it Howard Hawks and his brother?

[DownGoesFrazier]

I'm going to file a protest with the commissioner. (just kidding)

[MilesArcher]

Just think of a director who had his own "stock company" and used his brother in many of his movies.

[CharlieT]

John Ford and Francis Ford?

[MilesArcher]

I guess that was a pretty bit hint. Yes, John and Francis Ford are correct. Your turn, Charlie.

[CharlieT]

Thanks, Miles. I was thinking John Ford, but was trying to remember his brother's name. Then I thought of The Quiet Man and... BINGO!

 

This actor started his career dancing with his sister and went on to become well known for acting in a specific role. His sister went on to obscurity. Who were they?

[MilesArcher]

Is it Buddy and Vilma Ebsen?

[CharlieT]

It certainly is, Miles. Back to you.

[MilesArcher]

Ok, here's one that shouldn't be too difficult. Everyone knows, well almost everyone, that Shirley Jones worked with young Ronny Howard in both "The Music Man" and "The Courtship Of Eddie's Father". She also worked in two movies with a young actress, although not as young as Ronny. Who was the actress and what were the two films?

[DownGoesFrazier]

Shirley worked with Stella Stevens in COURTSHIP and THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS
