cujas Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Of course, I was going to say that right off, but I thought it was too obvious. Thanx, Mr. 6 for using Akira!

cujas Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Perish the thought that my beloved Miss Davis could ever have even thought this-- We are channeling Angela Channing here.

cmvgor Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The speaker had a fairly healthy big-screen career mid-1940s to mid-1950s, a smattering of TV appearences (including a series) for another sixteen years. For the last part of his life, some twenty-five years or so, he was married to an actress whose name and career were bigger than his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Not Mr. Lamas. This actor broke with his strong-willed father, and with family tradition by _not_ going into law enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 The actor spent most of his career in support and co-star roles, but he did have the lead and title role in a literary biopic. This movie has its moments, but the script has weaknesses due to the wartime issue date -- It gets off course into some international image issue. // It was during this filming that the star met the actress that he married four years later.

lavenderblue19 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Maybe Michael O'Shea? he was married to Virginia Mayo- they met while filming *Jack London* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Lavender; Riiiiiight! The facts here are straight, but I'll admit to being kind of iffy about the quote. I read it in some mag or other when I was about 15, when all I knew about Mr. O'Shea was from summer reruns of his sitcom It's A Great Life . At least once on that series they made an inside joke, including a mention of Virginia Mayo in a list of glam actresses. Got a canned audience laugh. As for the quote itself, it could be one of those situations where you pay your publicist maybe $25 to get your name in the paper, and the person who actually gets it into print gets $10 of that. So I vouch that I saw it in print, but I don't attach my credibility to the source. Anyway, Lavender's thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks, cmvgor.- Virginia Mayo has always been a favorite of mine. Here's the thing, I'm going to keep the thread open, I don't have access to get on site too often right now, so I can't check in constantly to respond. so, the thread is open to all.

cmvgor Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Trying a new one: A popular panel show; guest panelists being quizzed on various matters. Referring to a dramatization of Uncle Tom's Cabin , the question is put: What happened to Topsy at the end of the drama? Silence. A pause, then one panelist says: "She went to the dressing room and removed her makeup. Then she went back to the hotel." What destinguished panelist gave that answer?

cmvgor Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Good guess, but no. The speaker had serious chops as a performer, composer and writer. From a show-biz family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
