ty hardin is a white supremicist. He started a radical right wing group called the arizona patriots. It was an anti-semetic, anti-black group. They stock piled illegal weapons. He called for christian freedom fighters to join them. It was an aryian group. He's a Horrible, Horrible person. The FBI was on to him and his bunch of nazis finally disbanned

I didn't know that the photo would bring about this reaction.  Ty Hardin is still with us and, according to IMDB, he has been married eight times.  I remember him as the boy toy of old lady Joan Crawford in "Berserk".  He was in his thirties and she in her sixties at the time.  Lavender, it's your turn.

Figures ty hardin would still be alive. When the expression the good die young came about, they were obviously NOT talking about him. He'll live beyond 100.

This actor known for light comedies and his excellent work in noirs had a tv sit com series in the 50's-60's that unfortunately did not run more than a season. He had stiff competition since he was up against western tv series. Actor and his short lived series ??

Yes, The Dennis O'Keefe Show and Hope Emerson left Peter Gunn and became Dennis' co-star.  I thought Dennis O'Keefe was a pleasant actor and easy on the eye. Raw Deal is a fav noir of mine, he was excellent in it.  The show unfortunately was up against Sugarfoot/ Bronco on one network and Laramie on the other network. Too bad because the show did get decent reviews. Good work Miles, your thread :)

Thanks, Lav.  The clues led me to it.

Now, another sitcom from that era also went up against westerns and only lasted one season.  Actually, it was cancelled before the full season was finished.  It starred a veteran character actor who had been in vaudeville and later in many movies.  He played the head of a music publishing company.  He hated rock and roll music, so he refused to publish it.  His daughter and her husband continually try to convince him to change his mind.  The show used a theme song that would be used again many years later as the theme of another sitcom.  Do you know the name of the show and the star?  He would have success in another TV series some years later.

William Demarest in LOVE and MARRIAGE. Of course Demarest would go on to be Uncle Charlie on My Three Sons. Frank Sinatra had a huge hit with the song Love and Marriage

That's correct, Lavender.  Of course, the song "Love And Marriage" was also the theme to "Married ... With Children" some years later.  In my house, we didn't watch either "Love And Marriage" or "The Dennis O'Keefe Show" because, as it has been pointed out, they were on opposite westerns.  Good work, Lavender.  You're up next.

Thanks Miles :)

 

2 squeaky clean type tv moms both won Oscars for portraying prostitutes in 2 different films. Actresses, their 2 tv shows and the 2 films that had those Oscar winning performances ??????

One was Donna Reed, "The Donna Reed Show" and FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. The other is Shirley Jones-"The Partridge Family" and ELMER GANTRY.

Exactly. It's interesting how both won their Best Supporting Oscars for playing prostitutes and both wound up playing squeaky clean mom roles on tv. Your thread DGF

These 3 women have never been grouped in this manner, but I'll do it..........3 great female singer/songwriters of the '60s and '70s--all 3 were at least partly Jewish and from NY.. The 3?.......

Thanks.  Let's test your memory with this one.  In the 1950's TV series "The Adventures Of Superman", Lois Lane (and sometimes Clark Kent) would have to drive to the crime scene they were investigating.  Do you remember the make of car that they drove?  The models changed over the years, but the make stayed the same.
