Paulll Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Rock Hudson, Doris Day, and Tony Randall: Some people mention the films they were in together (3 altogether). Some people I talk to, never knew about them [or always forget poor Tony Randall]. Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis: Filmed 5 movies together! Nobody seems to mention that, I noticed it by researching each of them. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara: Both sides of my family love these two together! I do know people who dislike one or the other (uggh), and never mention their being paired together frequently. Natalie Wood and Robert Redford: These two were great friends in real life. They starred in 2 films together, and Natalie made a cameo in his 'The Candidate'. Natalie Wood and Tony Curtis: These two actors completed three films together in a 7 year span. Two being very funny! Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner: These two actors also completed 3 films together as well. Cary Grant and Irene Dunne: These two actors also completed 3 films together too. Cyd Charisse and Judy Garland: YES!!! Absolute awesomeness! These two appeared in five films together: The Harvey Girls, Ziegfeld Follies, Till the Clouds Roll By, Words and Music, and Thousand Cheers. This one I also learned by researching! Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton: I always hear about their tumultuous marriages, but never about how they completed 11 movies together! Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda: These two power actors completed 3 films together too. You only really hear about Yours, Mine and Ours though. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau: People usually only mention Grumpy and Grumpier Old Men, but these two starred in 10 movies together, most pretty funny! Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli: Another married couple who frequently worked together! 4 film collaborations for these two! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis: Filmed 5 movies together! Nobody seems to mention that, I noticed it by researching each of them. When Janet Leigh was a Star of the Month two years ago, TCM did focus one evening on the Leigh & Curtis collaborations (probably because Curtis hasn't been SOTM yet). Some of the films they made together are quite good and they occurred across genres, showing how versatile these two could be with different material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's still working, but with other directors these days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_E._Morse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She worked with Errol Flynn in 9 movies. She worked with Bette Davis in 4 movies. She worked with Hattie McDaniel in 4 movies. She was also paired with Dick Powell. They were lovers Hermia & Lysander in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. Then they teamed up for HARD TO GET, a rom-com where she was an heiress and he was a lowly gas station attendant.

LonesomePolecat Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 We often hear about John Ford working with such stars as John Wayne, Henry Fonda & Maureen O'Hara, among others. One I love that people don't bring up too much is John Ford's frequent collaboration with many character actors. One could call them the John Ford Stock Company. Here's a few that come to mind: Mildred Natwick - 4 Barry Fitzgerald - 5 Ben Johnson - 7 Jane Darwell - 7 Harry Carey, Jr - 9 Ken Curtis - 11 Victor McLaglen - 12 Ward Bond - 25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshaKatz Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thelma Schoonmaker has edited Martin Scorsese's films since 1980's "Raging Bull" but worked with Scorsese, although uncredited, since his debut film "Who's That Knocking At My Door" in 1967. Sophia Loren & Marcello Mastroianni made 12 films together John Williams has collaborated with Steven Spielberg since "The Sugarland Express" in 1974 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he also was the godfather of Temple's daughter with John Agar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamCasey Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Surprised they haven't teamed up again. All three of their films were hits. The recent (and still unseen by me) Ithaca (2015) makes for a fourth collaboration between Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Don't think that one will get classified as a hit.
