Correct Marsha. Frankie Laine and his wife Nan Grey both appeared in an episode of Rawhide and of course he sang the very famous hit theme song to the tv show that's been used in movies, and countless tv shows and probably can be hummed and sung to by every generation. Frankie did sing the title song for Blazing Saddles.

 

This was the last time Nan Grey appeared in either a tv show or movie. Some of her films were Three Smart Girls. The Invisible Man Returns, Dracula's Daughter. Good work, your thread :)

Thanks, Lavender.

 

This 1950's movie Western features two actors who both played the same character, one on television and the other in the movie version of the teleplay.

 

Name the movie Western and name the two actors in the film and the role both portrayed.

Is it that they were all shot on videotape, which was subsequently erased, leaving very few episodes left to posterity? 

Correct Lawrence.  Unfortunately for all of us the networks erased the tapes of these precious shows. Not only did the Network erase  The Shari Lewis Show tapes, they taped over them for the 1964 Dem/Rep conventions. Good work, your thread

Who was the first winner of a Best Actress Oscar that would subsequently go on to earn the title of "Dame"? For bonus points, name the other three.

 

Reminder: this is Winners in the Best Lead Actress category, not supporting, and I want the first to win an Oscar, not the first bestowed the title of Dame.

I was surprised it was Maggie in the 70's rather than an earlier actress in the 40s or even 50s.

 

Open thread.

The OJ Simpson trial was considered the trial of the century. What previous trial was considered the trial of the centrury prior to the OJ trial?

Well, I knew two and I had to look up the third.  Peter Lorre played the role in the 50's TV drama "Casino Royale".  Barry Nelson played Bond as an American agent and Michael Pate play Felix

 Leiter as a British agent/  I bought the DVD for a dollar at Walmart a few years ago.

 

Orson Welles played Le Chiffre in the 1967 film. 

 

The one I looked up was Mads Mikkelsen, who played the role in the more recent "Casino Royale" movie.
