The Academy changed the rules after that disallowing that from ever happening again. Fitzgerald was the 1st and only. Your board Terrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Thanks, Magoo. I liked your question. Name the actor who, upon winning an Oscar, said, (and I'm paraphrasing), "I hope this isn't a mistake, because I'm never giving it back." Hint: It was for a musical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrence1 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 He's the one, Peebs. I was all set to give another clue. I should have known that you'd be able to get this one right away. Your turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebs Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Thanks, Terrence! The clue about him winning for a musical was a big help. Next: On WKRP in Cincinnati, what was the name of their rival station? Hint: In one episode the mascots for the two stations get into a fight. Herb dressed as a giant carp gets into a fight with their rival station's mascot, another animal.

I appreciate this may be a little out there. I'm talking "acting" credits. TV, shorts, voice, film. No theater, however.

Peebs Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Thanks, Magoo! Next: In honor of St. Patrick's Day, here's a quick one about The Quiet Man (1952). The filming was a family affair with John Wayne's kids making a cameo, Maureen O'Hara's brothers in supporting roles, and John Ford's brother as the elderly bedridden man. Barry Fitzgerald's brother also plays a supporting role. Can you name Fitzgerald's brother and his character in The Quiet Man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles, yes it could. Needless to say Lisa was higher on my top 40 chart with all of her rock and roll moves. But Debra acted alongside of some handsome heartthrobes like Robert Wagner and John Derek. Miles, play through..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 In the 1950's there was an "Annie Oakley" TV series that starred Gail Davis as Annie and Jimmy Hawkins as her young brother Tagg. When the pilot film was made and presented to the network, another boy played the part of Tagg. Who was that other boy and why was he replaced when the series went into production?

Princess of Tap Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Just guessing, Billy Gray? And he had to go into "Father Knows Best"? If I can remember that far back, those two boys kinda looked alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 You are correct, Princess. The series was produced by Gene Autry's production company, Flying A Productions. Gene thought that young girls should have a role model in a television series, so he cast Gail Davis in the starring role. She had worked with him in numerous episodes of his TV series, as well as several early fifties movies. For the role of Tagg, young Billy Gray was cast in the pilot. Billy had appeared in a couple of episodes of Gene's show. The pilot was filmed in 1952, but the ABC network did not decide to make the series until 1954. By that time Billy Gray had committed to playing Bud Anderson on "Father Knows Best", so Jimmy Hawkins was cast in the "Annie Oakley" series. Here is that pilot episode: Nice work, Princess. You're up next. Say, did you ever have an Annie Oakley doll? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Christmas Santa Claus brought me the Annie Oakley outfit, hat and all. And this cowgirl knew how to ride a pony, load a cap gun and bring in the bad guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a great quiz to throw at the group if you will allow me to jump the thread while you come up with another. I'll defer to your judgement. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Next: This young actor was the toast of Hollywood in the late 50s and early 60s. He appeared opposite Audrey Hepburn, Jane Fonda and Sophia Loren--becoming a teen idol who even had a recording career. But coming from an acting family, he also had Broadway stage credits. In fact, while he was shooting his most iconic role, he was also rehearsing for a Broadway musical. After the heyday of his stardom, his film career continued through 4 more decades. Despite his versatility as an actor, he's primarily remembered for that iconic role, because of its widespread critical and popular acclaim, and also because he reprised it in film sequels. When you identify this actor in his iconic role, also name another film he appears in that you liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
