I haven't seen anything on E!, but it sounds intriguing. I'll check it on youtube, as you suggest.

I'm sorry, but I don't see the scene you mention, the one with Brynner, Heston and the unnamed actor. Was there meant to be a link?

LOL...yes, there was.

Thank you for that clip. Charlton Heston moved as if made of wood. Sheesh. And that hair just doesn't suit Yul. I saw him in something else where he had hair. He definitely looked better bald.

I have seen the other actor in the clip for sure, but I just don't know his name. I am stumped.

This actor looks like Heston's favorite stunt double, Joe Canutt

I thought his first name was Yakima! But no, it's the actor being discussed in another thread.

This is a still from the screen test he made trying out for the role of "Jeter" for Tobacco Road, the part he made famous on Broadway. But they went with Dorothy's father from The Wizard of Oz!

What, you mean to say this is "Werewolf of London's" Henry Hull?

Ha ha! Si Signor!

Sheer coincidence that he came up in the Universal Horror thread....I guess.

Yakima is Joe's Dad ...

Ahh....I may have known that at one time, but this head can't hold all of the stuff I try to cram into it.

Well, in keeping with the London portion of "Werewolf of London" let me say, "Cor blimey!" And in keeping with the Stooge portion of this board let me say, "It's a coincidence!" that Henry Hull came up on both boards. Well done again, Svengarlic! I hope this thread goes on forever.

Hmmm.....sounds to me like you are going to do one for US!

Give it a shot while I struggle to come up with my next one.

Fair enough. I'll enjoy the challenge.

I'm sure you film whizzes will get this immediately, so I'll just leave it clueless for now.

Just a wild guess, is it a young Martha Raye ?

A good guess, JazzBill, but I'm afraid it isn't Martha Raye.

(I cheated and looked) ... So I'll be the first to give a clue -
The angle of the photo and what this lady is wearing and doing doesn't do anything in giving you a clue who she is

Svengarlic · **Reply #90 on:** September 10, 2014, 10:10:13 PM

When I first glanced at her I was SURE that I recognized her. But the harder I thought and stared the further I got away from that initial recognition. Dark woman, high cheekbones, photo looks from the mid-thirties....it's the heavy eye makeup that's throwing me off.

Give me 'till 1PM Central time Thursday before you give a clue. I can DO this.

Amazingly this "clue" helps me little.

But I will get it before dinner time tomorrow!

I'm still working on the familiar looking giant scooter chick and you pile this dude on! I'm going to need a clue on him. A total blank.

EDIT: Is he British?

EDIT 2: Is the woman Lupe Valez?

No, it isn't Lupe. Yes, I will honor your request to post no clue before 1pm CDT.

Wow, Giff me dat fill-em, that's a tough one! I think I never saw that actor, but he does look British, as Svengarlic suggests. By the way, every time I see your name, I am reminded of a grade school teacher I had who pronounced "film" the same way as Mr. Borcht.

I take back that 1PM thing, Sig. Give us a clue.

Gladly. She began her show business career as a dancer, then moved into acting. Although she was a natural brunette, as per the photo, she achieved fame as a redhead.

Oops! You gave WAY to much info there! I know who she is now.

I'll add a hint: She's hard to recognize here because of her hairline. It was altered, pushed back off the forehead by studio plastic surgeons....and added a widow's peak.

Signor Spumoni · **Reply #99 on:** September 11, 2014, 09:22:31 AM

I'm not as skilled as you are, Svengarlic, in parceling out the information.

Perhaps I'll try again another time, if I can be as clever as you.

Giff me dat fill-em, throw us a clue, please!
