TopBilled Posted July 19, 2015 This is a new game. The main idea of each round will be stated up front. Like if I said the category was 'Married to Liz Taylor,' then we would list all her husbands. Bonus points could be earned if someone mentioned people she was engaged to but did not marry. That sort of thing. Categories will be related to Hollywood movies (and in some instances television programs). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starliteyes Posted July 20, 2015 Here are a few that you missed: Arthur Treacher Helen Parrish Irving Bacon Harry Davenport Grant Mitchell Frank Jenks Franklin Pangborn Walter Catlett Elisabeth Risdon Nana Bryant As for who appeared in the most films with Deanna, I would think that it would be Charles Coleman, who played butlers in countless films. He appeared with Deanna in: Three Smart Girls One Hundred Men and a Girl That Certain Age Three Smart Girls Grow Up First Love It Started with Eve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He appeared with Deanna in: Three Smart Girls One Hundred Men and a Girl That Certain Age Three Smart Girls Grow Up First Love It Started with Eve You're right...Charles Coleman did make six films with Deanna, more than anyone else. Another person we both missed-- Robert Paige. He has an uncredited role as a party-goer in one of Deanna's very first films, then five years later, he's her leading man in CAN'T HELP SINGING.

TopBilled Posted July 29, 2015 Jane Withers is someone who fits the 'surviving cast members from a movie made in the 1930s.' I see her first credit in a bit part was in 1932 when she was six years old. By 1940 she had made 28 films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
