She had hit singles with "Johnny Angel" and "Johnny Loves Me." Given the first clue that I gave, Shelley fits. She's not the one I was asking about, however, since she fits that clue the thread is yours Bagels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagelOnAPlateOfOnionRolls Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Another hint: The movie for which the person won the Oscar won several other Oscars, but the movie did not win Best Picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Bob Fosse won all three awards in 1973. His Oscar was for Best Director for "Cabaret". His Tony was for director and choreographer of "Pippin" on Broadway. His Emmy was for directing and choreographing "Liza With A "Z", a TV special.

BagelOnAPlateOfOnionRolls Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yes! No one before or since has won the "triple crown" of Oscar, Emmy and Tony in the same year that Bob Fosse won in 1973. As you mention, he actually won 2 Tonys and 2 Emmys that year. Good job, Miles. It's your turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Yes, people remember Arthur Godfrey for his TV variety and game shows, but he also recorded songs from time to time. "The Too Fat Polka" was also recorded by Frankie Yankovic. Once again, Lavender, you get the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's Cricket Blake AKA Connie Stevens from "Hawaiian Eye". She was co-starring in "Susan Slade" and "Parish". I never paid that much attention to what she did after that but it was some kind of a women's fashion that she was involved in-- Wigs, jewelry, clothing and it seems like she sold it on one of those cable sales Outlet.

Correct with Connie Stevens and Hawaiian Eye. Connie started a make-up, skincare and fragrance line called Forever Spring. It was sold on QVC or HSN not sure which but I do remember seeing her there. I was amazed to find out that she still sells her products but on-line. Before she started the business, she had financial troubles. She's had this business for over 25 years and Connie has a net worth of over 50 million dollars according to Forbes!!!! Not bad for someone who played ditsy, scattered brained Cricket Blake LOL.

Princess of Tap Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 This handsome TV star was married twice to 2 different beautiful actresses. He scored big successes in more than several different series in several decades-- in both drama and comedy. He never planned to be an actor, but early on caught the eye of one of Hollywood's most gifted directors, who directed him in a movie. Then he went on to establish a film career which was followed by an extremely successful TV series career in classic TV. When you identify this actor, please also name at least one of his films and at least two of his very successful TV series. And a bonus Brownie point for the very gifted director who got him his start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Long, was married to Susan Ball and Mara Corday, he was in The Stranger, Tomorrow Is Forever and The Ma and Pa film series. As far as tv goes there's The Big Valley, 77 Sunset Strip, Nanny and The Professor, Bourbon Street Blues. I'm guessing the director might be Orson Welles since he did make Tomorrow Is Forever (Long's 1st film) and The Stranger with Welles ??????????????????????

But I guess you do have a right to have other important things that you have to do. LOL I was one of the biggest Dick Long fans there ever was and Mara Corday was such a beautiful woman. Researching this I had long forgotten what a character he played in "Maverick", Gentleman Jack Darby. Well Lav, that was your question and you got it! Your turn ....

lavenderblue19 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thanks Princess, I also liked Richard Long a lot. so sad that he died so young next 2 child actress who were sisters in real life had careers in films and had tv careers on classic tv shows.

BagelOnAPlateOfOnionRolls Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Angela Cartwright and Veronica Cartwright Angela was a regular on the TV shows The Danny Thomas Show and Lost In Space. Her most well-known movie role was Brigitta von Trapp in The Sound of Music. She was also in Lad: A Dog. Veronica played Violet Rutherford on the TV show Leave It To Beaver and played Daniel Boone's daughter on Daniel Boone. As a child she appeared in the movies The Children's Hour and The Birds. As an adult she also appeared in the movies Alien and The Witches Of Eastwick (which I just saw recently --- she was really good in that one). She also played Jack's mother on Will & Grace and had a recurring role on The X-Files (which she reprised in one episode of the revival series).

Next question: An actor who would later win 2 Oscars was the first choice of a TV comedy show's executive producer to play the show's male lead. Name the TV show, the Oscar-winning actor, the movies for which he won Oscars and the actor who was ultimately cast in the TV show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
