twinkeee Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Miles, I'm not sure how far Guelph, Ontario is from here...I live in Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake, (near the Falls), Ontario. PS ... N.O.T.L. is home to the world renowned Shaw Festival Theatre. Perhaps you have heard of it. I live within walking distance of it. Twinks Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Bert Freed is correct. Good work, Rich. Now here is a guy who played both heroes and villains in mostly westerns and serials. He also played supporting roles in some "A" list films, like "Gone With The Wind". He was even featured in a horror movie. Do you know him? Link to post Share on other sites
musicalnovelty Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That would be... Tom Tyler. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Shazam! You got him, MN. He was Captain Marvel. He was also the bad guy who was shot by John Wayne at the end of "Stagecoach". Now, who is this next guy. He played heroes and villains in westerns, but he also played roles in some non-westerns with the likes of Bogart and Cagney. Link to post Share on other sites
musicalnovelty Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That is ...(...well I'll hold off to give someone else a chance...)... But he sure deserved it, didn't he, when he got his hand hurt by Lon Chaney, Jr. in a certain classic film! Still, when his name comes up, my first thought of him is as a western movie hero.

twinkeee Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Dennis Hoey ? Just wanted to add an interesting tid bit ! Lon Chaney Jr co-starred in the 'FIRST EVER' American-Canadian Television Production back in '57 as Chingachgook in 'Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans', (Shock Theater). This series was filmed in Pickering, Ontario (outside of Toronto) through CBC. Twinks PS ..Miles, that would be about an hour (60 miles) from where I live Edited by: twinkeee on May 15, 2013 2:39 PM Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 SCSU1975 got it. Bob Steele was the little guy that hated big guys in "Of Mice And Men" with Lon Chaney Jr. Now here are two men that I saw on "Gunsmoke" yesterday on the Encore Western Channel. Do you know their names? Link to post Share on other sites
scsu1975 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Douglas Kennedy and Joe Don Baker Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 You got them, Rich. Now here's a guy I posted previously, but no one got him. I'll try again, No fair looking back to find him. I'm not even sure if this was the thread. Who is this? Link to post Share on other sites
scsu1975 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Harry Townes Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Harry Townes is correct. He played a lot of troubled, nervous, somewhat untrustworthy guys. Good job, Rich! Now, can you name this guy? He played a lot of average Joe parts, including a lot of cab drivers. Oh yes, he also was a regular on a TV sitcom. Link to post Share on other sites

twinkeee Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hey Miles, can you confirm my win Twinks Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Sorry, Twinks. There was a power outage at work today and the computers were down for a long time. Unfortunarely, I was away from my home computer for most of the evening. Yes, Twinkeee got Frank Faylen. Most remember him from the Dobie Gillis TV show. He had supporting parts in many movies. He was also the one-time father-in-law of Regis Philbin. Now, who is this lovely lady with the beautiful eyes? Link to post Share on other sites
musicalnovelty Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 That would be... Ella Raines. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Very good, Musicalnovelty. I always thought that Ella Raines had the most attractive eyes of any actress. It's too bad that her career wasn't a little longer. Now, who are these women? Link to post Share on other sites
musicalnovelty Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Sisters Amanda and Lillian Randolph. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Very good, MN. They were both in "Amo "N" Andy" and both played "Beulah" in early TV. Now. how well do you know your sisters? Who are these two? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 This is a guess, Constance and Norma Talmadge? Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Sorry, no. They used different Irish last names, neither of which was their real name, although they were of Irish heritage. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 These hints might help. These two sisters worked in the era that spanned the transition from silent to sound movies. The one on the left had a slighly longer career, making her last film in 1938. The one on the right finished her movie career in 1935. The one on the left worked in vaudeville under the name Chotsie Noonan. They were from Bayonne, New Jersey. Link to post Share on other sites
twinkeee Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Salley O'Neil and Molly O'Day Twinks Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yay, Twinkeee! Somebody finally got them. It's late. I'll be back tomorrow. Say goodnight, Gracie, uh I mean Twinkeee. Link to post Share on other sites
