DownGoesFrazier Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I am a stuesque, voluptuous blonde who camt to the U.S. in the early '50s to participate in the Miss Universe contest. After working briefly in modeling and nightclubs, I made a modest Hollywood debut. But it was in Italy that I got my best parts, one of them for an American director. I was formerly married to two actors. Edited by: finance on Mar 21, 2011 10:13 AM Link to post Share on other sites

mudskipper Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks. I was born in New York City, of Irish descent. I started on stage with a troupe of child performers. I traveled Europe and the world, but ended up in California where I became an actor and was nominated for a Best Supporting Oscar twice.I have played a variety of ethnic roles including Italian, Native American, Asian, Middle Eastern, and even Polynesian, but whenever the role of an Irishman comes along, nobody thinks of me.

DownGoesFrazier Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I was born in NY state, and was originally a radio announcer. I entered films in the late '30s and played bland nice guy leads and second leads for various studios through the mid '50s. In the late '50s, I was the host of a TV drama series and was spokesman for the car company that produced the series. In the '60s, I returned to films in occasional roles.

MilesArcher Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks. Do you know me? I was a singer with a fine tenor voice. I was featured on a popular radio program for several years. My radio fame led to some movie appearances, some in small parts at first, but I caught a break when I got to introduces two now classic songs by a top songwriting team. I continued with the radio show for another year or so before leaving in a salary dispute. I played the romantic lead in a major studio musical that featured a well known comedy team. For the next eight years, I appeared in musicals, but only one was a major hit, and in it I played a supporting role. I thought my type of singing was going out of style. After appearing on a TV show in the early fifties, I retired from show business. I was only thirty-nine years old. By the way, my replacement on the radio show had a much longer career in both radio and television, and his singing style was similar to mine. Do you know me? Link to post Share on other sites
