E.g. Chester on Gunsmoke and his performance in Touch of Evil. I've been watching a lot of Gunsmoke and Chester gets on Doc's nerves.

Solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this one: Is that from the presser announcing the casting of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Surprised Bette didn't bring along a bottle of Coca-Cola to spoil the product placement, but I guess she got her point across anyway! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you know Nip, that there was talk back when they were casting that '70s TV-movie, 'Gable and Lombard', that David here was their first choice for the role. But of course, James Brolin got the part instead. (...as I recall, Janssen turned it down) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NipkowDisc Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I just read that janssen once had plastic surgery on his ears to lessen his resemblance to Gable but that janssen did believe he was the king's illegitimate son... David Janssen played tennis, golf and was ambidextrous. He was a liberal Democrat. According to actress Debbie Reynolds in her 2013 memoir, "Unsinkable", David Janssen believed he was the illegitimate son of Clark Gable. David Janssen - Gable's illegitimate son? Berniece Dalton Janssen was Miss Nebraska of 1928 and one of the Ziegfeld Follies girls of 1930. A year later, the 21 year-old gave birth to a son who became actor David Janssen, star of the TV series The Fugitive in the sixties. Rumours have abounded for decades about the identity of David’s father, many people convinced that Berniece may have had an affair with the then 30 year-old Clark Gable and that he secretly fathered the boy. forget Harrison Ford for it is DAVID JANSSEN who is THE FUGITIVE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
