lavenderblue19 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yes, but who was the actress that the series was oringinally intended for? (Big Hint- she was very much in love with a much loved actor here on the bds.) Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 According to wiki, the "Maisie" role was originally intended for Jean Harlow. Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I don't understand why Harlow would have been willing to do a "B" series. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Is that your trivia quesrion? (only teasing) . Who knows? Maybe it wasn't going to be a B series originally? I guess we'll never know. It's still your thread. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 This actor's screen name was used for his entire career, except for his first two films, for which another first name was affixed before the first and last name which he used for the rest of his career. Actor? First two films? Edited by: finance on Jan 30, 2012 5:17 PM Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hint: His first two films were in the early '50s. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Another hint: His REAL name was a very foreign-sounding name. His screen name was not. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 This is not hard. He's just been mentioned on a thread somewhere on these boards in the last 24 hours. Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm throwing in the towel on this one. The answer is: Jack Palance was billed as Walter Jack Palance in his first two films. Thread is open. Link to post Share on other sites
