lavenderblue19 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I always liked and admired Richard Chamberlain as Dr. Kildare, but I LOVE Vince Edwards as Ben Casey! Now that we got that out of the way. You're talking about the two most popular shows on TV in the early 60s featuring doctors. Dr. Kildare was supported by the great Raymond Massey, Dr. Gillespie, who was nominated for Abe Lincoln in Illinois. The other one was the fabulously esoteric Sam Jaffe, who supported Vince as Dr. Zorba in Ben Casey. Jaffe was nominated for his role in Asphalt Jungle, but he is probably better known for two other superbly performed classic roles-- Gunga Din and the High Lama in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon. All correct Princess. I agree 100% with everything you answered. Ben Casey was also my favorite. My sister and I would stay up late to watch. Although I also loved Dr. Kildare ( who wouldn't LOVE Richard Chamberlain) the moodiness of Ben Casey was appealing LOL. They were both GREAt shows and I LOVE Sam Jaffe in whatever he was in. What a great actor and by all reports a sweetheart. Good work, your thread ( ps BOTH shows should be in re-run, if we were in charge, they would be!)

Princess of Tap Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 It seems to me that often daughters are more more successful following in their parent's Showbiz footsteps than the sons are. See how many dutifully talented daughters you can identify, along with their Showbiz parent (s). 1) This beautiful and talented daughter had a breakout guest star appearance role on The Untouchables. She went on to be a big television sitcom star who is now more famous in retrospect than her showbiz parent. 2) This beautiful and talented daughter followed in her parent's footsteps by starring in a very similar type series: a sophisticated drama mystery with comical overtones. 3) This daughter did a lot of television before staring in her own sitcom. She's beautiful. But if you we're familiar with her famed showbiz parent you would automatically realize she had a nose job. 4) This daughter is a very versatile all around performer, but she started out doing comedy on a sitcom starring her famous Showbiz parent. 5) This last beautiful daughter did a lot of big movies before she settled on television in a popular sitcom. She later starred in a dramatic series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 # 2 sounds like Stephanie Zimbalist of Remington Steele fame, daughter of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. # 3 sounds like Marlo Thomas, daughter of Danny Thomas. I'm not sure, but #1 may be Elizabeth Montgomery, daughter of Robert Montgomery. And #5 may be Candice Bergen, daughter of Edgar Bergen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Lawrence, I think you can easily make a Clean Sweep of this-- so far all your answers are correct. Actually, I thought #4 would be the easiest one. However, any hint would be a complete give away, so I'm just going to let you think about it.

lavenderblue19 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I've been gone all day and off the bds. so I haven't seen any of the questions, Lawrence can still have a clean sweep but I'm going to guess #4 is Lucie Arnaz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lav, Hi! Yes of course it's obviously little Lucie. When I prepared this question, I worried that that one was just too much of a giveaway. But wasn't it wonderful the way Lucy prepared her children for Show Business, whether she approved of their decision or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Next: This show was known for many years as "the greatest television series never seen". It featured a well-known Hollywood star as both host and star. Name the show and the star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hint: This same Hollywood star (who was British) also hosted another TV show, this one airing and gaining a cult following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hint: This show had a supernatural/suspense theme. Even though it wasn't originally broadcast, it has since been released on VHS and DVD, as well as being shown on retro TV stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Final hint: The host/star used a stage name in his career, and sometimes even went by just the last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceA Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 The answer was The Veil (1958). It was a syndicated anthology series hosted by and starring Boris Karloff. 10 episodes were filmed before the production company ran into problems and the series was shelved for many years. It was discussed in magazines and books for years, and became a sort of cult TV "Holy Grail". When it was finally released on home video, it proved not to be worthy of all of that fuss, being rather mediocre. Thriller was a lot better! Open thread.

Princess of Tap Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Princess, I'm waiting to hear from you.I'm sorry Miles. I'm having serious personal relationship problems with Verizon. LOL It looks like you've done a bang-up job on the whole thing. My mother was in the book of the Month Club and had some of those Perry Mason Mysteries, so that's how I know that name. In grade school somebody had the O'Hara book on our list to read, so that's how I knew that one. I learned Mickey Spillane from watching Marty, isn't that funny? But I actually bought the Streeter book at the library yearly book sale. And it's exactly like the movie, just without all of the little Minnelli touches and montages that so perfectly fitted in. So as the end of Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater would say -- Maxwell House is good to the last drop. Miles, You're always right down to the last question, your turn-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 This child actress was once in a movie with Bob Hope. She followed that by being in a movie with Bing Crosby. Then she became a regular on a popular TV sitcom. When that ended, so did her show business career. She left the business for good. Can you name her as well as the movies and TV series that I referenced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Tap Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hassie of The Real McCoys-- Lydia Reed I had a 45 original soundtrack recording from High Society-- featuring Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Grace Kelly.

MilesArcher Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 You are correct, Princess. She was also one of "The Seven Little Foys" with Bob Hope. You might not have had Lydia on a record, but here she is in this clip with Bing: Princess, you're up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Apparently, Princess is MIA. She may be having internet connection problems, so I"ll jump in with one. In the period from 1957 to 1959 two brothers each starred in a TV series. One was a western filmed in and around southern California, and the other was an adventure show that was actually filmed in England. Can you name the two brothers as well as their respective TV shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Rex Reason -- Man Without a Gun Rhodes Reason -- White Hunter Miles, BTW-- I'm on the all-you-can-eat Verizon Plan.
