Kid Dabb Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 There is a famous line of dialog that has been attributed to me, it was never uttered in the film - only the trailer for the film. This line has been used over and over in many cartoons. Many parodies have been made of this. I commited suicide and my son commited suicide at the tender age of 20 years playing Russian roulette after separating from his girlfriend. Who am I ?

DownGoesFrazier Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 My screen name was my real first name and middle name. I just dropped my 5-letter last name. I played mostly lead roles, in my '30s and '40s career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allaboutlana Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 "My father was editor-in-chief of a magazine and my mother was a theater actress, who lived to be 107. But that's just for your information. I started out on the stage but made my way into Hollywood films in the 1930s most always in supporting roles. With my appearance, I'm not easily forgotten. And I'm usually given some witty one-liners to whip out, and I worked with Dick Powell and Warren William a lot. Do you know me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks. Do you know me? I was one of the ugliest actors in Hollywood. I was not an ugly child, but as an adult, I contracted a condition called acromegaly that distorted my features and gave me a grotesque look. I was typecast, so I made the most of it, playing villains, monsters, and various creeps in many a film in the thirties and forties. I worked at Universal Studios in the forties. I appeared in a Sherlock Holmes feature and several horror films. Do you know me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I was born to a Russian Jewish family. I kept my real first name, but Anglicized my last name for my singing career, which included being the lead female vocalist for three of the most popular big bands of the '30s and '40s. I wasn't in many films, but introduced a much-loved standard in a major Fox musical of the '40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
