cujas Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The director we're talking became famous for women's pictures (aka soaps). However, the movie in question would be considered noir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allaboutlana Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 {font:Times New Roman}Thanks. "A director saw me in a commercial, while he was watching the Today show and my movie career started with a blast with two very popular films in 1963 and 1964. They are still very much respected today. I have remained busy ever since and very much in the public eye. By the daughter is an actress, too. Do you know me?" {font} {font:Times New Roman} {font} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pturman Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 "I grew up the son of a prosperous owner of a sporting goods store. When my father died, I had to make the decision to take the safe path & take over the family business or follow my heart's desire & become an actor. I chose to sell the family business. I came to New York, studied at the Actor's Studio, & met my future wife while in a hit Broadway play. My first movie was so bad it almost ended my film career before it started. But I went on to become one of the most popular stars ever with a career that spanned over six decades. My name became synonomous with quality, integrity, & philanthropy."

cujas Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 This fellow was a fixture in movies in the 30's and 40's. He had a kind of middle Europa aire that gave old world authenticity to all his parts. He appeared in romantic comedies, musicals and dramas. Often he appeared as a foreign musician. He was a favorite of another European artist, Ernest Lubitsch.

allaboutlana Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 {font:Calibri}Here's one: "Although I had a memorable part in a 1941 film, my career never really took off. In fact, I made more appearances in film (using a different name) before my “ten minutes of fame” than after it. Afterwards I made one film with Susan Hayward, one with Clark Gable, and one with John Drew Barrymore. Then I was blacklisted in 1951 for not cooperating. I made a few tv appearances and then left acting. Do you know me?"{font} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allaboutlana Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 You are correct. One of my favorite parts of Citizen Kane is when she is putting her puzzle together and says "A person could go crazy in a place like this." Her delivery of that is too much. Your turn.
