cujas Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 From the 40's through the 60's this actress appeared on Broadway while maintaining a Hollywood, and later, TV career. Her plays were usually from Shakespeare. Although she never won an Oscar, she was nominated and also co-starred in a movie that won Best Picture. Hint: She was hot and heavy for James Garner in one of his feature films. Edited by: cujas on Sep 27, 2011 6:02 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujas Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Yea, Lavender, Nina Foch wanted him--in a display of overacting that stood out in the movie. But wasn't Natalie, just darling? Lavender--it's all yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 When wasn't Natalie darling? Funny, Nina popped into my head immediately. Her character made a fool of herself in *Cash McCall* , but what always comes to mind when I think of Nina Foch, is as a little girl watching *Dracula* films and Nina in them. Finance, you're welcome to the thread, you put in a good effort and I don't have one at the moment. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujas Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 This woman was a "shimmy" dancer and tap dancer on Broadway in the Ziegfeld Follies, among other top revues from the pre-WWI era through the Jazz Age. Later she went to Hollywood, starring in early WB musicals, doing what she did on Broadway. Her star never shined brightly after the '20's, but she stayed in showbusiness, including movies and Broadway through the '40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cujas Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 As usual Fi, I have another answer. But if you can fit Bessie in, give the examples. Hint: George Gershwin was her rehearsal pianist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 This Jazz Age tap/shimmy dancer was so hot that Gershwin, himself, was her rehearsal pianist and wrote songs for her on Broadway. She appeared in early WB musicals. Her career faded away by the 40's. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Richard Chamberlain in The Thornbirds ! I'm teasing. Anna Pennington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 You really pulled or should I say, shimmied, that one out--She's barely known in movie circles. I know her as a Gershwin tap dancer on Broadway. Lavender, it's all yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It has more to do with reading so much about Mr. Gershwin, than knowing about Anna Pennington. Although I have read that she wore a size 1 1/2 shoe and was earning over 1,000 a week, in 1920 !! This singer, actor was never a Legendary Hollywood star, although he did have an MGM contract and appeared in a few films. He became a Legendary Broadway star, because of his beautiful singing voice. He did have the male lead in the Broadway play and movie version of a well known musical. The film co-starred a legendary film actress. Who he?

lavenderblue19 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Absolutely correct, finance. Bonnie of course is his fabulous daughter. *Pajama Game* is the musical film version with Doris Day. A beautiful baritone voice. Good, your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 A successful Broadway show was made into a film seven years later. None of the Broadway principal cast appeared in the film, but the lead male actor in the show and the lead male actor in the film had the same first name. Title? Actors?
