MilesArcher Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I believe that I've heard this story before. Is it "Magnificent Obsession" with Jane Wyman and Rock Hudson? It was fairly early in Rock's career. Link to post Share on other sites

Jane did say that scenes had to be done over 30 or 40 times because of Rocks being so nervous while they were making Magnificent Obsession. Years later at a party, he did thank her for being so nice about it and that he loved her for it. Good work Miles, your thread Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thank you, Lavender. Now, most of us know that Buddy Ebsen was supposed to play the Tin Man in "The Wizard Of Oz", but he was allergic to the silver make-up and had to be hospitalized. The make-up was changed and Jack Haley replaced Buddy in the role. Now here is something you may not know. Buddy was not the producer's first choice to play the Tin Man. Can you name the actor who they first wanted for the role? Here's Buddy without the make-up. Link to post Share on other sites
chaya bat woof woof Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 According to Google, it is Ray Bolger, however he was in love with The Scarecrow (aside from Toto, my favorite character) and Amy. I'm passing my turn if I'm correct. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yes, Ray Bolger wanted to play the Scarecrow, so he talked Buddy Ebsen into switching characters. It was a big mistake for Buddy! Chaya has left the thread open. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 This legendary, Oscar Winning Actor, could not stand one of the actor's in the cast of this film. The film was a comedy. His experience was so bad, he retired from acting in films for two decades. Actor, Film and the actor he said he hated ??? Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 James Cagney could not stand Horst Buchholz when they were making One, Two, Three. One day when he walked on to the lot, he decided that the thrill had gone and it was then that he decided to retire. Link to post Share on other sites

starliteyes Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Continuing with James Cagney, Horst Buchholz wasn't the only actor that James Cagney could not stand. This actor played supporting roles and usually played someone with a lovable persona. He only appeared in one film with Cagney. Name the actor and the film. Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The actor was not born in this country. Link to post Share on other sites
