DownGoesFrazier Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have said that he died about a decade later. If it were Clift, how could he have been in JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG? ...This guy is not as well-known as Clift or Power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emgee1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG? where did that come from?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 By my clues, the guy would have died by the end of the fifties. JUDGMENT was a '61 film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 This question's been around for 6 days and going nowhere. I'll throw John Hodiak? into the mix just to get another clue that might move this one along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Not Hodiak. The film version of the play, for which the guy turned down the male lead, won another performer in the film an Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emgee1 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 You didn't mention JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG as a clue, so what's the connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 You already gave that as a clue. New clue please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 It was a female who won an Oscar for the film that this actor turned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The film in question, which this actor turned down, yielded a "Best Actress" Oscar winner. This clue should give it away. Look at the previous clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Paul Douglas turned down the role of Harry Brock. He played it on Broadway in *Born Yesterday* - Douglas died suddenly in the late '50's and his first film was the great *A Letter To Three Wives* . Broderick Crawford played the role of Harry in the film and he was an Oscar winner for *All the King's Men* . Judy Holiday won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in *Born Yesterday* Edited by: lavenderblue19 on Jan 26, 2014 8:39 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 You made it sound as if he turned down the role because he was getting too famous and his ego got in the way. Paul Douglas turned the role down because the role had been CUT substantially. It wasn't so much that he was becoming a big star, it was what they did to the part that made hin pass. I don't normally do this type of gossipy question, but here goes anyway. This actor was almost 30 years older than this 16 year old actress. They had an affair and he wanted to marry her if their age difference wasn't quite so large. Who were the 2?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Would it be Tuesday Weld and John Ireland ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It sure was John Ireland and Tuesday Weld. Weld's mother was NOT happy as you can imagine. Ireland said that their age difference and Tuesday's mother is what prevented him from marrying her. At that time who would have guessed 16 year old Tuesday, as Thalia on Dobie Gillis and John Ireland were having an affair. Dirty old man.

DownGoesFrazier Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Weld apparently started with drinking and drugs in her early teens. I wonder how happy her mother was about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I wonder how happy Maureen O'Sullivan was when her daughter Mia Farrow, then 21, married Frank Sinatra, then about 51. Of course, there's quite a difference between 16 and 21. Now, Tuesday Weld was in a movie where her character took up with a man, although he wasn't that much older, and her mother disapproved. She ends up killing a man and getting her boyfriend to help cover it up. Then she kills her mother and asks the boyfriend to dispose of the body. Can you name the movie? Who played the boyfriend and who played the mother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Poor Anthony Perkins as the boyfriend and Beverly Garland as Tuesday's mother in *Pretty Poison* . TCM use to show this one every now and again ( and yes, big difference between 16 and 21, at least 21 is legal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yes, you got it, Lavender. The movie was filmed in around Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Tuesday Weld was related to former Massachusetts Governor Weld. I believe that I read somewhere that she and Anthony Perkins were also distantly related to each other. You turn, Lav.
