cujas Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 This is a fun one-- The Ritz Bros paid thribute to 3 Horror stars by singing about them in a movie. Since it wasn't a horror movie--that's not my question. The question is: who were the 3 Horror Stars who were honored in song. It's all or nothing, as Gloria Grahame sd somehwere.

cujas Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yes, in "One in a Million", The Ritz Bros sang about the "Horror Boys of Hollywood"--Karloff, Lorre and Laughton, yes, Laughton--must have been a contractual thing. Close enough Metz, all yours-- Link to post Share on other sites

cujas Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 This unique "horror" actress starred in two legendary films--during which half the time she is portrayed by an animal or not seen. Her love life was also legendary and allegedly included --George Gerswhin, while he was in Hollywood writing for Astaire. Movie and actress please: Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Would that be either Simone Simon or Jane Rudolph in *The Cat People* (1942) and *Curse Of The Cat People* (1944) ?? Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 One answer to a customer please-- Pick one and I'll respond accordingly. Edited by: cujas on Mar 22, 2011 2:55 PM Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I arrived at the possible answers by research. I never saw either film; only the remake that was done in the 1980s. Both actresses had a short period of active participation in The Biz. Scrolling through their bios, I think Simon was probably the one referred to. Per the commentary, both films relied on dark screens and _imagined_ menace than on actual images. Edited by: flashback42 on Mar 22, 2011 3:53 PM Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 *Cat People* --other than Val Lewton, Kent Smit, Jane Randolph and Simone Smon as Irinia, the stories really have little to do with each other. Simone is a ghost in *Curse of the Cat People*, she takes the form iof a panther in *Cat People* . Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Simon is correct--The clue was her affair with George Gershwin. Link to post Share on other sites
