MarshaKatz Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Totally guessing on this one, but could it be Connie Francis in "Where The Boys Are"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks for the guess Marsha, but not Connie or Where the Boys Are. The film is part of a series that were popular at the time. A popular male singer and female singer were also in those films. The actress that took Nancy's role was not known for singing and had a successful career in tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yes Nancy Sinatra dropped out of Beach Blanket Bingo because there's a kidnapping in the plot. Frank Jr. had been kidnapped 2 years earlier. Linda Evans was given the role instead. DGF, the thread is yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 You must go to the library first thing in the morning, DGF. Now, for those of you who remember "Art Linkletter's House Party", besides interviewing kids, Art conducted man on the street interviews. In the later years of the show, his son Jack helped conduct those interviews, but there was another interviewer, as well. It was a woman who had been a popular singer. Can you name her?

Nice job, Lav. You're next. Thanks Miles This actress appeared as a regular in 2 '50's tv comedies. She played a girlfriend. Both shows were on tv in the same year. A little different seeing the same actress appear as a girlfriend to 2 different men, in 2 different shows while both shows were aired the same season. Who was she and what were the 2 tv shows ???
