lavenderblue19 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 You're on the right track, but I could have listed a few more that went into tv series. Just be a little more specific. Link to post Share on other sites
nitratefiend Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 In that case, I'll have to pass in the hope someone more knowledgeable will take it up. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 They all hosted and appeared in TV anthology series with their name in the title. The Dupont Show With June Allyson 1959-1961 The Barbara Stanwyck Show 1960-1961 The Loretta Young Show 1953-1961 Jane Wyman Presents The Fireside Theater 1955-1958 I looked them up to get the years correct.

lavenderblue19 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thank You Miles for taking the time to look them up, and that is what I was thinking about. Your thread. Edited by: lavenderblue19 on Mar 6, 2011 9:06 AM Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks. What do these actors have in common? Warner Baxter, Gilbert Roland, Cesar Romero Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 They all played the role of "The Cisco Kid" at one time or another ? (Good One, Miles) Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes, I purposely left out Duncan Renaldo. That would have really given it away. Your turn, Ms Blue. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks Miles. Eleanor Parker, Audrey Hepburn, Jane Wyman ? Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 It?s probably not it, but they all worked with Mel Ferrer: Scaramouche, War and Peace, and Falcon Crest, if you count tv. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 No, sorry. I'm thinking about roles they played. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 They played roles where they were either deaf or blind? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You are 2/3's of the way there. Eleanor Parker, think about her. Then rephrase your answer. Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I thought of that too, but for the life of me, I couldn't find a movie of Ms. Parker's in which she was blind. Some of hers I hadn't seen in a while, though. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 They all played roles in which they were some way handicapped. Hepburn -WAIT UNTIL DARK (blind); Wyman-JOHNNY BELINDA (deaf and dumb); Parker -THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM (crippled) Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 That's the correct answer, 100%- Great thinking - your thread. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Van Johnson, Burt Lancaster, Wallace Beery Edited by: finance on Mar 8, 2011 6:18 PM Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hint: All 3 appeared in a certain type of film. Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Naval films: Run Silent, Run Deep, The Caine Mutiny, This Man's Navy ?? Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 No, I'm looking for a much more unusual, specific type of film. You couldn't find many actors who starred in this type of film. MANY actors starred in naval films. Link to post Share on other sites
nitratefiend Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 . Edited by: nitratefiend on Mar 9, 2011 3:47 PM: Couldn't substantiate my guess. Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I had two guesses at the time, but guessing one at a time, I went with that. My second is Plymouth Adventure, The Devil?s Disciple, and Slave Ship, that may all fall under early historical pics. You can have your pick of Beery's. They all seem so similar in tone with him in it, whether they're westerns, war, or historicals. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 No, I'm not talking particular genre. I'm talking about a particular setting for the films, and character focus. Link to post Share on other sites
Leanox Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Circus films: Van Johnson: The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) - uncredited/unconfirmed as a spectator; Clowning Around (1992) - Mr. Ranthrow.

DownGoesFrazier Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Sorry, Leanox. I mentioned in a previous clue that all 3 STARRED in a particular type of film Hint: One of the 3 films that one of the 3 actors starred in is an EXTREMELY well-known film that was on TCM last week. You'll all kick yourselves when you find out the correct amswer. Edited by: finance on Mar 10, 2011 10:14 AM Link to post Share on other sites
