Dargo2 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Oh and btw...yep, they WERE sort of the "Ken and Barbie" of the Hollywood set back in the day, weren't they?! Link to post Share on other sites

"Jean Arless" was better known as Joan Marshall who was all over TV and movies in the late 50's and 60's. I read that William Castle had her use this name to help keep the plot twist under wraps. I kept thinking he/she looked familiar then one day figured it out. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Patricia Breslin is the correct answer to my photos, as you probably surmised. Now, who are these two folks? They were regulars in a TV series. Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 OH, YES! I remember that show! But not that she was in it! Loved that talking dog (LOL) Cleo! Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 No guesses yet on my pictures? There's a tie-in to Patricia Breslin. Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 No. The male looks familiar, but I cant place him......... Link to post Share on other sites
twinkeee Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 MARGARET IRVING PAUL MAXEY ...from The People's Choice Show Twinks Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 That's right, Twinks. In "The People's Choice", Jackie Cooper played Socrates "Sock" Miller and Margaret Irving played his Aunt Gus. Patricia Bresin played Mandy Peoples, the daughter of Mayor Peoples, played by Paul Maxey. Sock secretly marries Mandy, but they don't tell her father. Somewhere along the way, Aunt Gus marries Mayor Peoples and the secret is revealed. Now, who is this actor? Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ivor Francis? (He is the father of Genie Francis, who played on the long-running soap General Hospital) Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 No wonder he looked familiar to me. I wish someone would resurrect that show in reruns. I've never seen it since I was a child. (and I dont remember it well)... Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 That's him. His name came up on another thread, so I thought I would include his picture here. Now, do you know this fellow? He played scientists and villains a lot. Link to post Share on other sites
Gorch Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Robert Cornthwaite? I remember him as the scientist in The Thing and from Picket Fences. Link to post Share on other sites
scsu1975 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 David Opatoshu Link to post Share on other sites
Gorch Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Wow, you're right. I never noticed the similarity between the two and I probably miss-identified both actors over the years. I'll have to apologize to my wife who has the same problem with James Coburn and Lee Marvin. I sit corrected. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Rich got him. David Opatoshu is correct. Here is Robert Cornthwaite. Now, here is a pretty actress who was very active in the 1950's. She pops up in crossword puzzles frequently. Who is she? She once graced the cover of LIFE magazine. Link to post Share on other sites
twinkeee Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Looks a bit like Haya Harareet, could be wrong ! ...in fact, May Not look ... "Anything Like Her At ALL" !! ...AS SOME MIGHT SAY !! Edited by: twinkeee on Sep 13, 2013 2:13 PM Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo2 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 That would be Rita Gam, Miles. (...and who always reminds me of Capucine) Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Dargo, good eye, that middle photo also reminds me a bit of Capucine Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo2 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yep, you're right...especially in that middle picture, Lavender. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Dargo got it. It's Rita Gam. Here she is on LIFE magazine in 1952. And here's something that you probably didn't know. She was a bridesmaid at the wedding of her good friend, Grace Kelly. Both of them were from Pennsylvania, Grace from Phildelphia and Rita from Pittsburgh. Now, who is this? What TV show do we know her from? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Sheila James played Zelda, always wanting Dobie to love her remember how she'd crinkle her nose at him LOL the show was The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis Link to post Share on other sites

Then suddenly she disappeared. It wasn't until the 80's that I learned it was because the producers thought she was too "unfeminine" then learned she was gay and feared a backlash should this become known. By the time this article appeared she was a California State Legislator and it didn't matter. I am straight but find this utterly ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo2 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 While I absolutely agree with you about the unfair treatment Sheila received because of her sexual orientation back then, wouldbe, I gotta say how ironic I found it that Miles posted a picture of her right below a picture Rita Gam down there. 'Cause ya see, with you mentioning the producer's of her TV show using the cop-out of implying Miss James "wasn't feminine enough", the thought crossed my mind that you could probably take almost ANY woman's picture and place it next to the gorgeous and sultry Miss Gam, and THEY wouldn't be considered "feminine enough" in comparison! LOL Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Also remember that Tuesday Weld was the girl Dobie longed for. Now who could compete with her? Star, I do agree though, utterly ridiculous Edited by: lavenderblue19 on Sep 13, 2013 7:17 PM Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo2 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Well, once again, the blonde Tuesday never did a thing for me. (...nope, gimme those sultry BRUNETTES like Ava Gardner, Rita Gam and Capucine EVERY time!!!) (...oh yeah, I ALMOST forgot...and Madeleine Stowe TOO!!!!)
