Time for another-"For whatever reason, I used to confuse these two actors or actresses with one another" thread

[misswonderly3]

Thanks for the clarification, Fred.

 

Definitely a resemblance there.

Also, both actors often played tough guys, although Dane Clarke's tough guy would have been easily beaten up by Richard Conte's.

 

I like both actors.

[Kid Dabb]

For me always these two, Warren Stevens left, Barry Sullivan right:

 

 

                     And I'm always getting these two mixed up. Whenever I see one of them,

                                         it takes me 10 minutes to figure it out.

 

                                   Barry Sullivan                     Henry Silva

[DownGoesFrazier]

No, actually dark, I think Fred might have been referring to Dane Clarke, who boasted a magnificent seven......inches!

 

(...that of course would be Dane Clarke the '70s porno star, NOT Dane Clark with the 1940's Warner Brothers contract)

 

You really have no idea how many inches were boasted by the '40s WB star, do you?

[DownGoesFrazier]

For me always these two, Warren Stevens left, Barry Sullivan right:

 

Oh God, Yes. Find me two actors who looked more alike than these two.

[Dargo]

When I was a dopey kid, years before becoming the sophisticate about movies that I am today, I used to confuse . . .

 

 

Robert Alda

 

with

 

 

the immortal Cary Grant

 

LOL

 

Looks like you still do, Tom!

 

(...yeah, I caught the joke)

[Dargo]

7 inches is not all that magnificent for a porn star. I think it's pretty much the minimum requirement.

 

Ah! But don't forget there's always "the girth factor" in these sort'a things, dark!!!

[DownGoesFrazier]

LOL

 

Looks like you still do, Tom!

 

(...yeah, I caught the joke)

Coincidentally, I confuse Robert Alda's son, Alan Alda, with Cary Grant's son, Alan Grant.

[Dargo]

You really have no idea how many inches were boasted by the '40s WB star, do you?

 

Well, according to the very first line in Dane's Wikipedia page which states the following...

 

Dane Clark (February 26, 1912 – September 11, 1998) was an American film actor who was known for playing, as he labeled himself, "Joe Average".

 

...I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess...oh...about 6 inches.

[FredCDobbs]

Regarding the dimensions someone mentioned, this is simply relative. Any issues can be solved this way:

 

A small guy needs a small girl and a small girl needs a small guy.

 

A large guy needs a large girl, and a large girl needs a large guy.

 

The physical height of the partners is often irrelevant, as in this example:

 

 

 

http://nypost.com/2013/06/16/ava-gardners-deathbed-confessions-reveal-stories-of-booze-sex-and-stardom/

 

Among the shocking revelations: first husband Mickey Rooney was such a womanizer that he cheated on Ava, then considered the most beautiful woman in the world, in their marital bed — while she was in the hospital recovering from an appendectomy.

 

“He went through the ladies like a hot knife through fudge,” she said, adding that her best friend Lana Turner — who’d slept with Rooney first — called him “Andy ****-On.”

[Dargo]

Wow! Thanks for that, Fred!

 

(...I always DID wonder how that little squirt was able to land the gorgeous Ava, and now I guess I know!)

[DownGoesFrazier]

Wow! Thanks for that, Fred!

 

(...I always DID wonder how that little squirt was able to land the gorgeous Ava, and now I guess I know!)

Ava's quote about Sinatra, "Sure, he only weighs 125 pounds, but 100 pounds of that is in his ****."

For me always these two, Warren Stevens left, Barry Sullivan right:

 

 

 

Stevens is such a stiff, and Sullivan has such an infinitely better hairpiece, that I never had trouble distinguishing them.

[Richard Kimble]

 Find me two actors who looked more alike than these two.

 

Rod Cameron:

 

 

 

Don Megowan:

 

[Dargo]

Rod Cameron:

 

 

 

Don Megowan:

 

 

Excuse me here Doc, but while yes, Rod Cameron and Don Megowan DID resemble each other quite a bit, I'm PRETTY sure that the picture you posted as Megowan is actually just another picture of Cameron which somebody mislabeled as Megowan when they uploaded it into the Internet.

 

Here is a couple of pictures of Megowan....

 

 

...and notice if you will the difference in the ears between these two actors, and of which Cameron's earlobes being larger and more pronounced than Megowan's somewhat lack of same.

I think that one's a shot from 'The Werewolf' (1956). Excellent - and seemingly lost, considering how rarely seen or even mentioned it is - movie with a terrific werewolf.

Hmmmm...I don't think I've ever seen that one, dark, however you appear to agree with one Richard Brandt of Colorado Springs' assessment of this film and who's following review appears in the IMDb webpage for it....

Ever since Lon Chaney played Lawrence Talbot, werewolves have been depicted as pawns of a cruel destiny, doomed to a bad end, and this Fifties twist on the theme is no exception. That sense of our poor protagonist as a helpless victim of forces beyond his control is what sticks with me from this movie: The burden of guilt falls squarely on the shoulders of the sinister government scientists who devise this atomic-age curse, and their victim's innocence provides no redemption for him. Not sure how much of this was intentional on the part of the writers and director (Fred F. Sears, not far from helming the unfortunate shipwreck of "The Giant Claw"), but I find it superior to the rank and file of Fifties-era drive-in horror films.

You're probably right. I actually suspected that, but it was labeled Megowan so I went with it.

 

They still look a heckuva lot alike though. But the resemblance is fluid -- not quite so pronounced when Megowan is doing his "stupid" look (Don seems to have a somewhat wider range of expression than the rather grimfaced Rod).

It's a good one alright. I'm not surprised you haven't seen it - hasn't been on the tube (that I've been able to find) since 1964.

 

Considering the quality of the transformation scenes - excellent, dark, slobber-dripping human to animal, much scarier than Lon Chaney Jr.'s - how this one has been allowed to disappear is a mystery to me. And it's an intelligent werewolf movie to boot!

Maybe Swengoolie will find this little gem and show it one day...errr...night?

 

(...but then again of course, we'd have to put up with his lame jokes...which I might add are often even lamer than MINE are around here...well, okay...ALMOST as lame as mine, anyway!!!)

[Richard Kimble]

I admit I'm far from an expert on Don Megowan, but his moment of glory surely must be the classic grade-Z scifier The Creation of the Humanoids.

 

 

 

If y'all are extra special nice to me, I might even consider posting my classic essay on COTH.
