lavenderblue19 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks, since I got that one correctly, I guess it's my turn. Emgee, remember that response button? next She was born in the mid-west. She started out on the radio. She moved on to films in the 1940's, but by the1950's she decided to concentrate on her family. She did some TV work in the 1960's and had a regular recurring role on a popular 1970's series. Who was this actress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yes Audrey Totter. Film work started drying up for gal in the 50's., and Audrey wanted to devote her time and attention to her husband and kids. She turned to TV and had a recurring TV role on *Medical Cenrer* in the '70's. Good work, patsy, your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsydahling Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks, Lavendar Who'd a thunk it about this person. I might have been one of the 20th century's first doomsday preppers by building a hideaway in 1946 for fear of a worldwide atom bomb catastrophe. I was once fired from a movie when it was said I was a Hitler sympathizer and thought Germany would win the war. Also, because I refused to sit down at a table with a black actor for a scene.

patsydahling Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 No, Emgee, not Ward Bond. Did he do anything like those things? I will be crushed if he was a Nazi sympathizer and a bigot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emgee66 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 No, but he was pretty right-wing; it was just a wild guess. Sorry mr. Bond, Ward Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsydahling Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 No, Finance. Not Adolphe. Glad to hear that about Mr. Bond, Emgee. But your guesses are in the correct sex. Zanuck fired him at Preminger's insistence His best known roles are the exasperated father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsydahling Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yes, Lavender... I can't say I ever really knew anything about him except in these roles as the Dad (like The Lady Eve) but I never would have guessed he was like that.

lavenderblue19 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Here's a case of ignorance is bliss. Palette was in many classic great films and I will never be able to watch them again without remembering that info. Next She had a short career as an actress, but an important one. It wasn't illness, that made her retire. She married a wealthy high powered man and said goodbye to her career on the screen. She was lovely looking and appeared in some very famous classic films, with legendary actors. For 4 years she had an impressive career that took place in the 1930's. who was this lovely looking acress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I didn't see the question. Wasn't the guy's name Justin Dart? Originally it was the Dart Drug chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Emgee, you gotta catch up on your WB 1930's films. Jane was very well known. Noel Coward after viewing her performance in the Paul Muni film *We are Not Alone* called Jane Bryan the finest movie actress today That's high praise. Watch *Confession* she plays Kay Francis' daughter in this one. *Each Dawn I Die* the Cagney film, as I said 18 famous films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 If you say so. The corporations I know about are Rexall and Walgreen's. Very successful, rich and powerful man Jane married. And yes his name was Dart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emgee66 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 And there's me thinking i'd seen most of the WB prewar catalogue! I've seen about 4 of those 18 so i'm a little behind schedule. And yes, Coward should have known what he was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emgee66 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 To continue: I suffered a heart attack and decided to pursue an acting career.
