bhryun Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 If you were allowed to invite 10 classic actors/actresses to your home for 1 week, who would you invite and where (which room) in your home would you allow each person to sleep??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Do they all get invited at once or is it two actors a week for five weeks or one actor a week for ten weeks? I don't have enough room to accomodate 10 extra guests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leobertucelli Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 With me! And they'd be all female. BUT, the one's out there now don't move me as much as A Gene Tierney, Gloria Graham, Rita Hayworth --big difference from these and say a Paltrow. See?

katyscar11ett Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 WOW! What a loaded question! Mine would all be male - and not for the reason you're thinking. Well, not ALL anyway. *grin* 1) Claude Rains - since I've always thought of him as the father I wish I'd had, he could sleep anywhere or do anything he darn well pleased - and bring any lady he liked to do it with hehe 2) Definately all the gangsters - whether it would be one at a time or all together is another question - that would be the problem. Cagney, Raft, Bogie, Muni, Robinson, Lorre, Greenstreet. Lorre and Greenstreet would have to be there at the same time. Cagney and Raft could sleep 'anywhere' they wanted. hehe 3) Orson Welles, Robert Montgomery, William Powell, John Garfield 4) Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power - and I ain't telling where they'd be sleeping. lol Yep, I know I'm "over-drawn" but I dunno if I can get it down any lower. I guess if I "had to" I'd leave out Greenstreet, Robinson, Welles and Montgomery in that order - but it's my fantasy so I get 14. lol Now I'm going before I think of 12 more.

normandie7 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'd invite Orson Welles to find out exactly how the studios butchered his movies and what was his real vision behind each movie. I think he'd enjoy staying with me as I am an excellent cook. Next I'd invite Fred Astaire and take him down Picadilly, The Ritz, Burlington Arcade, the works. This is where he loved to shop when in London. He could give his perspective on how much London had changed since his heyday. Bette Davis would be next guest at my home. My husband can't stand her, I'd love to annoy him and let this lady **** her way through the long weekend with us. Joan Crawford would be the ultimate guest though, perhaps she could teach me how to scrub my kitchen floor properly. Hell, I'd let her clean my whole house. Afterwards we'd go shopping at Harrods followed by the cocktails at The Lobby Bar@One Aldwych. I could only have one guest at a time, since I only have one guest room.

bhryun Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Cary Grant Natalie Wood Robert Mitchum James Dean Marion Davies Bogey and Bacall (They count as one, right? Hehe) Katherine Hepburn Charlie Chaplin Peter Lorre Bob Hope ...And everyone can sleep where they darn well please. ) A really interesting dinner party would include some feuds though...Davis and Crawford...Fontaine and De Havilland...Talk about some fireworks!!

bhryun Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Who would I invite! I don't think I could ever just choose ten! In no particular order.... Jean Arthur Marlene Dietrich Doris Day William Powell Cary Grant Alfred Hitchcock Claudette Colbert Dorothy McGuire Charles Boyer Fred and Ginger Then, I would probably start all over the next month and have a whole new group of guests arrive. I might even go into certain themes. It would be fun to have a murder mystery theme and invite like, William Powell and Myrna Loy, ect. I would have way too much fun!

classickels42 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I would invite: Cary Grant Irene Dunne Katharine Hepburn Carole Lombard Clark Gable Betty Hutton Marilyn Monroe Ginger Rogers Humphrey Bogart Jean Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsallieharding Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 This reminds me of the story, "The Monkeys Paw". I wouldn't invite or wish anyone dead to show up at my door because they would stink the house up and they wouldn't want to be brought back anyway so they would be very upset! My second wish would be to wish them away. I would only have one wish left and it would be to have every movie made that is lost delivered to me on a regular bases by snail mail.

katyscar11ett Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Can I just forgo my imaginary visits and bring Al Pacino home for the weekend? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhryun Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Wow, great answers. My list of invitees would be: Marlon Brando - of course he can share the bedroom (LOL) Paul Newman - if Brando can't make it than Paul can be int he bedroom Vivien Leigh - in the living room Bette Davis - in the kitchen - it would be interesting to see what food she'll prepare. Joan Crawford - maybe she can help Bette Davis in the kitchen James Cagney - in the attic - why not? Humphrey Bogart - in the basement - don't want Cagney and Bogart too close. James Stewart - in the living room with Vivien Leigh Clarke Gable - in the hallway - not too far from Vivien Leigh James Dean - in the bathroom - don't know why.

chandler5710 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 WOW I love this question. Now, this is assuming I have a home large enough to accommodate them. I love one of the other posts "I don't have room for ten extra guests." Let's say I do. I'd invite: Katharine Hepburn, Gene Tierney, Orson Welles, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Joel McCrea, Norma Shearer, Bette Davis, Robert Mitchum, and Tyrone Power. I don't give a hang where any of them sleep except for Power. He's with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillybug924 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 My guests would be Doris Day Claudette Colbert Meg Ryan Myrna Loy Meryl Streep Reese Witherspoon Ashley Judd Deborah Kerr Judy Garland Glenn Close We'd all have a slumber party in my room, doing makeovers, hair, and nails and eating whatever actresses eat when they are pigging out!

phoebebrown Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Wow, what a treat! A young Bing Crosby would sing to me all night long until I fall asleep. The other 9 would be as follows: Fred Astaire will teach me the two-step and perhaps to rhumba AND tango after supper. Gene Kelly can help out Fred Astaire Robert Taylor, to look at, like a painting in the living room Errol Flynn, another painting to look at. He has to be dressed in pirate attire. Paul Newman Cary Grant Cyd Charisse, so graceful. Katharine Hepburn, she's intense Barbara Stanwyck, she's cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattHelm Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 The Monkey's Paw reference was a good point. However, if I could invite dead (and a couple of living) stars the way they looked in their primes from the 1950s, the list would be: Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Sammy Davis Jr. Jerry Lewis Robert Mitchum William Holden Shirley Maclaine John Wayne Don Rickles Grace Kelly I think the booze bill would wipe out my bank account.

ayresorchids Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Ha! Good one, Matt! Many of the group that Shirley Maclaine said was actually called "The Clan," rather than "The Rat Pack" (earlier group founded by Bogart). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattHelm Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yeah, The Clan, The Summit, The Caucus ... they settled on The Rat Pack, after the Holmbly Hills Rat Pack at Bogie's, because The Clan was too close to The Klan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayresorchids Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 A good move, especially as The Chairman of the Board was a big supporter of JFK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattHelm Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yeah, though JFK and Bobby really screwed him once they got in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
