thestick Posted January 3, 2012 Miles, Mud, so sorry. I just got home and sometimes I forget where I've posted last. I don't think I can come up with anything worthy of Ultimate Trivia so I'll leave the thread open to whomever wants to take it. I just love to do the research.

DownGoesFrazier Posted January 3, 2012 This performer, who started in films, was the first performer to star in two back-to-back hit TV dramatic series. Performer? The two series? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted January 3, 2012 Maybe Efrem Zimbalist Jr. ? 77 Sunset Strip (1958-1964) , The FBI (1965-1974) ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 3, 2012 I don't know what to tell you. I specifically saw the statement that said it was somebody else. Maybe "The FBI" didn't meet the criteria for being a hit show. There is someone else with two better-known back-to-back shows. Try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted January 3, 2012 The FBI was on for 9 years! if that 's not a hit show what is? Ralph Bellamy and Wendell Corey were both on very early tv shows, but they were broken up with hosting anthology type dramas. I'll keep looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 3, 2012 This actor also had a bigger film career than Zimbalist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted January 3, 2012 Another hint: The actor played a good guy in both TV series. In films, he generally did not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thestick Posted January 5, 2012 This actress was in a few movies early in her career, one being a very well known film. She later was on a hit TV sitcom. She eventually married an actor who guest starred occasionally on this sitcom and he also starred in another sitcom with the star of the sitcom she was in, (I know that's kind of confusing wording, but I think you guys will know what I mean). Name her, the sitcom, and the most famous/successful movie she was in. Edited by: thestick on Jan 5, 2012 3:02 AM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thestick Posted January 6, 2012 Another clue: She wasn't billed as the top female in the movie I'm referring to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thestick Posted January 10, 2012 The movie mentioned was a Hitchcock movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted January 10, 2012 Suzanne Pleshette from the "Bob Newhart Show" and "The Birds". Her third husband was Tom Poston, who guest starred in the "Bob Newhart Show" and was a regular in "Newhart"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cujas Posted January 18, 2012 Hint: It's a real Hollywood studio film made during the War. Hint 2: 3 of the main leads are from foreign countries: France and England. The 4th, really the 3rd lead is an American character actor who won the Oscar. He usually played sweet, but forgetful uncles or endearing bumbling drunken professionals. In this movie, he plays against type as a very malovently perverted villain. Edited by: cujas on Jan 18, 2012 1:35 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted January 20, 2012 Hint 3: the female lead was a great actress in Hollywood but she had another achievement that really put her in the movie history books as a cinema pioneer on the distaff side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
