MilesArcher Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Fausterlitz, that was quite an involved question. It was more like "Trivia for 2% of us". This question will be simpler. When Carol Burnett had her own variety show in the sixties and seventies, she traditionally had the same guest star on the first episode of each season. Who was that guest star? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was that guest star? I don't know the answer, but that's never stopped me before. 😲 I only know that she and Jim Nabors were very close and had a lot of fun together. So my guess is Gomer Pyle/AKA Jim Nabors to start off her TV season. And what a singer he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Jim Nabors is correct, Princess. Carol returned the favor by appearing on several Gomer Pyle episodes. Here are Carol and Jim on her show. I think you'll enjoy this. Nice guess, Princess. You're up next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 This classic actress came from a vaudeville background and was quite a tap dancer. She had a contract with a major studio, and she was also very proficient in straight dramatic roles. She primarily appeared in westerns and musicals, but also had a lot of credits in classic TV, which, of course, included Perry Mason.😍 Her film career was somewhat cut short due to a self-imposed semi-retirement during her marriage to a legendary Golden Era movie star. When you identify her, also include at least one of her film credits that you have enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its popularity has only grown with the years as more recently it was remade and fashioned into a series of films sequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Patrice Wymore ? Her dancing was great in Tea For Two. Errol was her husband. She toured with her parents when she was a little girl. Her parents were vaudeville performers. She was in the Original Oceans 11, the Ocean movies were the series of films based on the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Thanks, Princess A legendary actor who starred in a film with an actress advises her against taking the starring role in a TV show. She takes the role and she and the show are a big hit. Who was the actor, the actress the TV show and what was the film they starred in ????

Princess of Tap Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Sometimes a beginner in show business is fortunate enough to be mentored or sponsored by an older and more experienced professional. You might be surprised who helped whom without which that performer may have never been a success. Identify the mentor or sponsor. And remember a protege can become a mentor later in life. 1) Spencer Tracy 2) Louis Hayward 3) William Holden X4) Andy Williams 5) The Beatles 6) Eleanor Powell 7) Van Johnson 😎 Ocho)Katharine Hepburn X9) Sally Forrest 10) Tony Bennett X11) Leslie Caron X12) Tippi Hedren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so with Lucille Ball. There was another actor who helped Van Johnson to have his first big break by protecting him professionally when he had some serious difficulties.

lavenderblue19 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 7. Spencer Tracy helped Van Johnson ? Do you mean when Spencer Tracy insisted that production be held up until Van Johnson could return to work on A Guy Named Joe, Van had a serious car accident and needed time to heal, without Spencer Tracy's backing Van up he would have been fired ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
