I agree, understand why though. so many, many threads keep showing up pushing threads to page 3 where they are forgotten., I'll bet shutoo didn't get to see that it was her thread because it was pushed so far down in the multitude of threads. I don't care one way or the other anymore. Peebs has decided, the Thread is Open. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Next: This sci-fi / horror movie was a favorite for the *Baby Boomers. So much so that there was a sequel and a remake. Originally, an iconic Golden Age Hollywood actor was to star in this film. But he died before production began and was replaced by another legendary Hollywood actor. Ironically, this actor also replaced the deceased actor in his home, as he married the actor's widow. We need the name of the movie, the two actors and the lady referenced above. ### *(Also, I wonder how many of us have seen the original, the sequel and/or the remake? I've only seen the original movie.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the original and the original sequel Children of The Damned. Never saw the remake.

Please look at the original question and answer it completly, Thanks. It is The Man From Uncle, however you did not answer this question completly. Info about David McCallum and Leo G Carroll were Clues, not the answer to the question. The question is about The Man From Uncle, not NCIS. Can't give it to you till it's completed. Who is the actor in the tv show and what novel/film was his character name taken from ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Here's a hint. Think about the TV show, think about a novel and film very popular and iconic that would be the same sort of genre as the tv show. It's obvious who the actor is. I already wrote there were 3 main characters on the tv show. You named the other 2 using the clues, who was the 3rd lead in the show. The actor was in movies with Paul Newman, James Coburn, William Holden, Steve McQueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaya bat woof woof Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Sorry, the character is Solo, played by Robert Vaughn. He is a minor character (Solo) in Ian Fleming's Goldfinger. Evidently, Cubby Broccoli threated to sue. Yes, Paul Newman and Robert Vaughn are in The Young Philadelphians (great film). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Robert Vaughn as Napolian Solo in The Man From Uncle. Ian Fleming gave the show his blessing to use the name Solo, the name of a character in Goldfinger and Fleming consulted on the show. Thanks for finishing the question by answering it completly. Yes Vaughn was in The Young Philadelphians with Newman. Robert Vaughn was also in The Magnificent Seven with James Coburn and Steve McQueen and Bullitt and The Towering Inferno with Steve McQueen, William Holden and Paul Newman . The Girl From Uncle was the spin-off of The Man From Uncle. Now it's your turn to post one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaya bat woof woof Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I am passing (especially since I may not be on the board much this upcoming week). I remember Rex's son, Noel Harrison on The Girl from Uncle. Robert Vaughn later turned up as a recurring character who was bipolar on the original Law & Order (used to be a friend of Adam Schiff/S. Hill until a case involving his grandson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Here is a list of characters from some vintage TV series. Can you name the shows that they were on as well as the actors and actresses who portrayed them? These shows were all on during the 1950's and some extended into the 1960's. If you are of a certain age, you will probably remember quite a few. If you are a bit younger, then ask an old person. That's what I had to do to come up with this list. You don't really think that I'm old enough to remember all of these shows, do you? (You don't have to answer that!) 1. Sock Miller 2. Lieutenant Rip Masters 3. Jimmy Olson 4. Lofty Craig 5. Rex Randolph 6. Casey Jones 7. Marshal Simon Fry 8. Officer Frank Smith 9. Cricket Blake 10. Chief Dan Mathews 11. Ellen Miller 12. Detective Lt. Frank Ballinger 13. Michael Anthony 14. Vint Bonner 15. Josh Randall 16. Jim Hardie 17. Major Seth Adams 18. Susanna Pomeroy 19. Susie McNamara 20. Mike Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 2. Rin Tin Tin - James Brown 3 The Adventures of Superman - Jack Larson 6. Casey Jones - Alan Hale 10. Highway Patrol - Broderick Crawford 11. Lassie - Jan Clayton 13. The Millionaire - Marvin Miller 15. Wanted Dead or Alive - Steve McQueen correction #18. Oh Susanna - Gale Storm I'll admit it, I'm old I've seen all these shows and remember them LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Very good so far, ladies. "Oh, Susanna" with Gale Storm is actually #18, but we all know what you meant. You actually had a choice for Casey Jones. During the same time that Alan Hale Jr. was playing the legendary railroad engineer, Beverly Garland was playing a police woman with the name Casey Jones on a show called "Decoy". I was going to save that bit of trivia for another time, but I figured no one would know it. Beverly Garland was just seen on TCM this past Saturday in the "Bomba, The Jungle Boy" movie. That's when I got the idea for this question We still have several left to solve. #4, 7, 14, 16, and 17 are all characters from westerns. #5, 8, and 12 are all from crime dramas. #5, Rex Randolph, was the name of a detective on a show that got canceled after one season. The character, and the actor who played him, then moved to another Warner Bros, detective series as a semi-regular character for a couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
