He's a character actor seen in films from the teens to the fifties, but like Chaney was hard to spot. He has worked for directors such as De Mille, John Ford and Frank Capra, to name few. Horror, Westerns and Adventure films were his forte. The more exotic the theme or location the better.
He is best known for his role in one particular block buster from the 30's. Huge kudos to anyone that can identify him.

Zsa Zsa was married nine times, most notably to Conrad Hilton, the founder of the Hilton Hotel chain, and great-grandfather to another socialite who is famous for being famous, Paris Hilton. While married to Conrad, Zsa Zsa fucked her step-son, Nicky Hilton, who later married Elizabeth Taylor. If you wondered how Paris Hilton came to be so fabulous, it looks like she learned a lot from her former step-great grandmother.

Interesting guess. But I don't think Stapleton, even as a young woman, was ever gorilla worthy. :D
Spumoni's got it with Bancroft. An interesting blend of beauty and smarts. Mel Brooks was one lucky little Jew. (his words)

One good example of that blend of beauty and smarts is the 1957 film, "Nightfall," starring Aldo Ray, and - - as a villain - - costarring Brian Keith.
I read somewhere, years ago, that Mel Brook and Anne Bancroft were having a big argument. He put his hand on shoulder, and she pulled away saying, "Don't touch me! My body's an instrument!"
He said, "Really? Can you play 'Begin the Beguine?'" And that was the end of the argument because she started laughing.

I'm going to add a twist as these ladies' real names are just too obscure. Identifying their characters name from the successful sixties TV show will be plenty! They both played the rarely seen wife of one of the characters.

For whatever reason I could not post the other actress, but it was a grainy little image and she was utterly obscure anyway.

Not exactly Signor...both pics are of the same gal. The other didn't work. But it's not much of an issue as the other one was too obscure to recognize anyway. But the one pictured was in scads of movies. Even so I would not expect anyone to know her real name because she wasn't in the catagory of an Eve Arden or Joan Blondell, say.
It's the character she played in the TV show that I'm after. As I said, she was rarely seen but OFTEN mentioned by her flummaxed husband on the show. ;)

A couple of clues: she shared the big screen in two HUGE movies with a prominent Our Gang player, and an actor best known for his portrayal of a comic book character.
In the later TV days, two characters on the show crossed over to music and had top 10 hits. (that should ring Jazz Bill's bells) ;)

Looks like Donna Reed to me. Shelley Fabares had a hit with "Johnny Angel," while Paul Petersen's "Lollipops and Roses" may have been his hit, not sure.

Looks more like Barbara Stanwyck to me! But dind ding ding! It's Donna. The others I referred to were Alfalfa in "It's a Wonderful Life" and George Reeves in "From Here to Eternity".
I can't remember if that was the Peterson song or not. But neither had another hit.

If there were any scenes with Donna they were left on the cutting room floor. As revealed in the recent film "Hollywoodland", shooting SUPERMAN for TV made him too recognizable to preview audiences. They shredded his role and with it any hope of becoming a mainstream movie star. He should have grown a mustache and a G.I. crew cut for that role!

A long-standing myth, bought into by the HOLLYWOODLAND writers, and not true. None of Reeves' scenes were cut.
Although a prominent character in the novel, 'Sgt. Stark' was minimized in the original draft screenplay. This was months before casting. There were no changes to the 'Stark' scenes between the draft and final shooting script.
In a 1990s interview with actor/author/historian Jim Beaver, director Fred Zinneman himself debunked the Reeves myth, and proudly said that not one frame of his film was dropped between the preview screening and the final release print.

I have no doubt that your source's are better than mine, BeA. There are SO many myths surrounding the George Reeves "suicide". That being the biggest...did he take his own life?

LOL...yeah, but you can tell by the age of that photo that Mrs. Cosby may not have even been born then. Maybe the old Broad that played Cliff's mother? I kid, but a guess a clue is in order: Her bawdy persona pictured here is in sharp contrast to the image her characters projected in the 70's. ;)
-
I knew the age was wrong, but I was - - and am - - stumped. It can't be Mary Tyler Moore because she was known for two roles. And it certainly isn't Rose Marie or Morey Amsterdam! :)
-
Just a note: MTM played one character in the '60s and one in the 70s, plus two in the 50s, which is another reason it can't be she.

Well Signor, I can see you are truly a man that doesn't see color! But you have zero'd in on her genre: TV. And like MTM she was on a big hit comedy. (but only one)
BTW, I know Mary played the legs on Richard Diamond, but what was the other role in the '50's?

MTM's other role in the 50s = Happy Hotpoint, the tiny elf who skated around advertising Hotpoint appliances.
-
Jean Stapleton is my current guess. I assumed the actress pictured had a nose job before becoming famous, but that may not be so. It looks nothing like JS, but I'll keep pitching.
-
I guess you really are colorblind, Signor. The woman pictured is Black. I guess the sepia shading is throwing you off. This chick was a Chittlin' Circuit performer in her youth, brought to the little screen by an old friend years later.
On MTM: I guess you could call the little Hot Point Elf a role. I actually remember those spots, and much later learned that Mary was the girl in 'em.

I'm so darn sick right now I probably oughtn't to try identifying anyone, including myself. My apologies for being so dense on this one, and my thanks to you for being patient with me. Thanks, too, for the additional clues on this lady. I don't know what I was thinking not to see that this lady is black. Maybe I thought she was wearing heavy pancake/body makeup or something. Duh.
Interestingly, considering your humorous comment on Cosby's mom (in reply to my earlier guess), Clarice Taylor was, in fact, on the Chitlin Circuit, too. She played Cosby's mother on his 80s TV show. So was Loretta "Moms Mabley" Aiken on the Chitlin Circuit, but even *I* can see this isn't she. :)
All right, so the eyebrows suggest Isabel Sanford, who moved from "All In the Family" to "The Jeffersons," playing the same character on both.

Poor Lawanda, the former "Bronze Goddess of Fire." I suspect genetics are responsible for her loss of looks. I say that from the perspective of someone who has hosted a number of class reunions. We saw some big reversals of looks, both good and bad.
Lawanda Page's younger sister, Lynn Hamilton, also played on "Sanford & Son." She was Donna, Fred's longtime sweetheart. Lynn Hamilton kept her looks, by the way.

I constructed this combo made up of three popular TV comedy cuties from the past, all still alive and kicking (I think) with Spumoni in mind to wrestle with while convalescing.

Not Julie. But you're in the right height group. I only know four chicks from that era that were over 6 feet in heels: Newmar, the Prentiss sisters and Tina Louise.

Clearly I've no clue; the heavy makeup and closed eyes make this tough for me. So, I'll try Tina Louise. But I'm only making rank guesses by now. You've done very well on this one, Svengarlic. What a challenge!

I agree that the masque of make up makes Tina very hard to recognize at ANY age. BRB with the final piece to the puzzle. ;)

This is Stella Stevens from The Nutty Professor. She's the first in this group of actresses connected by a thread in a production that went from Broadway to the big screen. Tina Louise played the stage role, and Stella did the film.

The other comedic actresses (plus Julie Newmar!) appeared in the film. What was this film?

For the members that are perhaps bigger movie geeks than I, this clue surely has the light bulb burning bright in their coconut. (Huh, Giff me dat fill-em?)

It's time for a shot in the dark because I don't recognize the actor shown here. It sounds like a movie (and a play) with a large cast, and with roles for a lot of beautiful women. Well, dopey, dopey, doh, I guess I'm making an obvious statement. Anyway, I suspect it was a musical, because those have big casts, typically. It also sounds like something I've not seen. And I admit I'm not familiar with the work of the folks involved, so I'll try the one show I can think of.
I know Tina Louise was in the theatrical version of "Li'l Abner," but I've no idea who was in the movie. But it does have a big cast, and there are roles for many beautiful women. I can picture Stella Stevens as Daisy Mae. I would guess that the actor shown played Li'l Abner because he looks the part.
At first I thought it was "Serpent of the Nile," which featured Julie Newmar dancing in gold body paint and a two-piece swimsuit. But I think that did not have a theatrical version, so I'll try "Li'l Abner."
-
Well done sick pup! "Abner" is correct, a musical for sure. The handsome young man is Jerry Lewis, but he was not Abner. "Apassionatta Von Climax" (what a name) Was originated on Broadway by Tina. Stella Stevens did the film. I'll let the pictures tell the rest.

Can you make out who's Mammy Yokum there? It's none other than the comic actress first seen by me as Sylvia Schnauwzer on Car 54 Where are You, Charlotte Rae. The movie Mammy was played by Billie Hayes, only 20 at the time.
Aussie knockout Leslie Parrish played Daisy Mae in the film. You may remember her for her role on the Star Trek episode Who Mourns for Adonis?

Donna and Valerie were both chorus singer/dancers. Re-watching the film on TV in the eighties I spotted Rhoda, who's face was briefly, but prominately shown several times. Armed with my new VCR, running it back I also saw Elly Mae!
It will be easy to spot Valerie, but Donna is there too.

I apologize for being so long in replying to this. Thunderstorms moved in here Friday afternoon, so the computer was unplugged and stayed that way.
This is outstanding! I mean, I'm pleased to have guessed correctly, but your presentation is what is outstanding. I stared at ol' Jerry for the longest time, but all I could think was that I knew him. I hadn't a clue who it was. Do you know when the photo was taken? I'm sure I'm wrong, but what he's wearing reminds me of a zoot suit.
The extra photos are wonderful, and so is your knowledge.
Just imagine all the volunteers who must have wanted to help judge the women's casting calls and auditions for this movie!
Thank you for helping me when I was so sick, and thank you for thinking up such a fun game. I'm on the mend now. In fact, as Curly said in "All the World's a Stooge," I feel better, but I still don't smell so good."

No thanks necessary piasan. On Jerry: I'm guessing here, but that crazy tie Jerry sport's was briefly in vogue because of Sinatra. Being from Jersey too, Lewis (real name Levitch) was probably a fan. You will note that he posed closed mouth. That makes the photo pre-Martin. Jerry had less than perfect teeth in his single act days.
Here's one that Metal will probably get in 2 seconds.

This is a lesser known brother of the character actor pictured below. More famous in their day for his work on the stage, he was unfortunately stricken with the Spanish flu (a rampant epidemic in the 30's) after completing only 2 films.

Born in the American South, THIS brother had a long film career supporting actors from Bogart to Brando, working for directors from Todd Browning to Hitchcock. His British accent got him a lot of work, and he's mistaken for a Brit even today. ;)

I didn't know that about Jerry's teeth. I read about his sock quirk, though. I saw him perform around 1970. What a showman!
I look forward to learning who are the two brothers shown. I'm pretty sure the first one is my Uncle Paul, I just can't figure out how you got his picture (kidding, though the actor resembles him).
-
Sock quirk??? I noticed long ago that Jerry's bare feet were never seen in his movies. Is that the sock quirk? ???
-
According to an interview I read, Jerry changes his socks every couple of hours or so. He always puts on a brand-new pair. The article said the "old" socks are laundered and donated to charity, but which I presume is meant Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. Although he was not quoted on this topic in the article, the reason for his quirk was his severely impoverished childhood, but no specifics were given. I think the article said he wears white athletic socks.

He certainly did in the movies. Perhaps the scene in Who's Minding the Store was a send-up of his quirk. In the scene, Jill St. John peels off layer after layer of those white socks, never getting down to skin.

I've not seen his movies since they came out, and I didn't remember that. Pretty funny, and it does sound like an inside joke.
He was entertaining on "What's My Line." He guessed one guest's occupation rather memorably.

I remember it well. It was a fat lady hawking diet pills. "Don't you take them ever?!!"
LOL...no, my memory isn't THAT good. When the Game Show Channel first came out I watched every night for 2 years without fail. "Late Night Black and White" they called it. I've Got a Secret and What's MY Line back to back. I never get tired of that stuff, Signor.

Yep, that was it! I was surprised, but well, it *was* Jerry Lewis.
When I work around the house, I pull up WML on youtube. It makes tedious work go by pleasantly. The person who posts the full episodes got them from the Game Show Network. I'm quite the fan of WML.
Do you remember a show called, "Masquerade Party?"

I do remember the original show, but my memory of it is vague. My folks didn't watch it often. I know there was a revival of the show in the 70's, but like the new WML, I didn't care for the show. I was spoiled by the better, earlier version.
As for the GSN, when WML and IGAS left the station, so did I. Tell me Sig....have you seen the movie Game Show, about the fixing scandal in the 60's? It's right up your alley. ;)

Your memory tallies exactly with mine regarding "Masquerade Party." I know there's at least one episode on youtube, but I've not watched more than a minute or two so far. And I agree with you on the 1070s revivals. For that matter, who could possibly equal the WML panel today? Although my imagination may be lacking, I find it hard to come up with elegant, intellectual or refined panelist candidates from today.
Have you read "Kilgallen?" It's an old one, but good.
I've not see "Game Show," but it's on my list.
Funny, but the broadcast rerun channels (Me-Tv, for one) don't broadcast any game shows. Perhaps the Game Show Network owns all those rights.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I am completely stumped by the mystery actors shown. I've been hoping for one of our members to jump in and solve this one.

I haven't read Kilgallen, but I want to. I'm aware of the feud with Sinatra, her drunken appearances on the show and the controversy surrounding her death, but I would like to learn a lot more.
As to the mystery actor, not being a horror guy you're at a disadvantage on this one. He's not all that well known to casual moviegoers. I'll include one last photo, but he looks more like Norm Mc Donald here than himself. Answer tonight.

Did you know about Dorothy Kilgallen's promised revelation of information about JFK's assassination which was supposed to be a blockbuster? She died before she was to have revealed it. Personally, I'm not so sure there's anything to that, but we'll never know.
I used to watch the classic horror movies, but that was some time ago. This may be a case where the actors are new to me. I'm no expert, but I enjoy this thread and classic or "vintage" movies - - and cartoons - - very much. I am eager to find out who these two actors are.

Yes, Sig, I know about DK being the only columnist granted an interview with Jack Ruby, and the mystery surrounding her death. I'm sure you've seen the old E! Channel show Mysteries and Scandals. I learded this from that show. A lot of those shows are on You Tube, and I urge you to check it out.
On the unnamed character actor, take a look at this scene. He's the one not Yul Brenner or Charleton Heston. ;)

Not at all. I don't know much about the Rogers, except that he was from Ohio and they adopted a bunch of kids and that he stuffed that golden palomino full of sawdust like Norman Bates.

Here's her face.
-
I apologize for the first photo of this actress. All I can say is that it looked all right last night, but I was up too late when I chose it.
That was a funny comment about the golden palomino's being stuffed with sawdust like Norman Bates. :) I've wondered what became of stuffed Trigger when the museum closed a couple of years ago. He wasn't the kind of thing that a person could just set in the hallway or stairwell as a decoration.
-
That's more like it Sig, I knew this chick immediately! ;) But I'll sit on it in case someone else wants to wrestle with it. I never noticed how much she resembled another pretty Jewess, Connie Francis, but Connie didn't have a bod like that!
-
Now, to me, this photo looks quite different to the actress' usual look. The face differs enough that I wouldn't have known her had I not seen the caption. Funny how that works, sometimes.
-
I don't have much time these days, but here are a few clues: this beauty pageant winner worked with some of the big screen's most famous tough guys such as John Wayne, Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin in her early years. The first photo is from her "breakthrough" role.
-
That film was planned as the first made for TV movie, and it looked like one. But it was judged to be just a tad too mean and violent for TV and went to theatrical release. ;)
And yes, Sig, she was much cuter in the early '60s with dark hair and a fuller face of baby fat.

I didn't know that about the movie, Sven. Thanks.
A couple more big hints, then Svengarlic can tell the name tomorrow, seeing how this one is going. She got her first starring feature role as a Eurasian although she was an all-American native of the Peace Garden State. She was associated with the so-called Rat Pack, appearing in what could be called a Rat Pack movie. She went blonde and stayed blonde in the 1960s. She never answered directly the rumor that she was among JFK's love interests, preferring to dodge the question even as recently as the 1990s. She starred in a TV drama in the 1970s.
-
We may be thinking of two different roles and movies, Sig. We'll clear it up tomorrow.

Sven: The first movie in which Angie Dickinson had a featured lead (where she played the Eurasian) was "China Gate." Her "breakthrough" role was as saloon girl, Feathers, in "Rio Bravo." Her Rat Pack movie was "Ocean's 11." And, of course, "Police Woman" was her 1970s TV show. I think you and I were thinking of different movies or roles at some point or other; I hope this clears that up.

Yes, a Bollywood picture, a drama, not a musical. I enjoyed it even though I hadn't read the novel first.
Yes, you have me beat. I don't care for crowds, and I'd probably lose my mind in a texting, updating, chattering movie crowd of nowadays.

That must have been very impressive, Giff-me! I think the planetarium is a good bet to remain there, but I guess cinemas come and go.
I recall seeing something in the 1970s, and it seems as if it were an Imax movie. My memory is hazy, but I remember there were various things shown from the perspective of the passengers, things such as a rollercoaster, a race car (possibly Formula 1, but I'm unsure), etc. I missed some of the movie because I was fascinated by watching the audience, 99.9% of whom moved as if they were in the rollercoaster, the car, etc.
Due to motion sickness developed post-1970s, I'm unsure how I would like to see an Imax 3-D today even though I'm definitely intrigued.

Her sultry look here is the opposite of the image she had once famous. She made a professional partnership which led to a personal partnership which led to fame for them both. She was a successful club singer in her younger years. One of her offspring eclipsed that success with a singing career decades later. But I fear I've said too much, now.

It is not Betty Grable, but both Betty and this lovely lady married orchestra leaders. This lady's marriage lasted a lifetime and was, by all reports, extremely happy. She was known and loved by all in show business especially for her unaffectedness, her warmth, honesty, goodness and understanding, a case where a star's true personality matching her perceived personality.

Of course. Don't forget Big, the Tom Hanks fantasy. I first became aware of Logia as a kid when he starred in T.H.C Cat on ABC on Friday nights. That lineup included Star Trek and The Wild,Wild West. My favorite night for TV back then.
But my favorite Logia role was in Innocent Blood (1992) That movie had to have been the inspiration for From Dusk 'Till Dawn, written by Quinton Tarentino, who combined gangsters with vampires.

Logia, being bitten by the sexy French vampiress
The idea of a mob boss becoming a vampire was quite a hoot, and leave it to Director John Landis to exploit the idea. The movie made no splash at the box office, but it was highly entertaining for me, a horror and gangster film nut. Like An American Werewolf in London, there were laughs, but Blood delivered twice the black humor. I HIGHLY recommend it!

It's later than when I posted above. Well, after searching the extensive storehouse of show-biz knowledge contained in my genius brain, I have to say that the name of the Olympian who went into acting is...I have no idea. I used the only name I knew which fit the description. I don't recognize the face after my usual staring and thinking, either. So much for my genius brain. :laugh:

Johnny Weissmuller (http://threestooges.net/cast/actor/3057/) is listed in our Cast Database at ThreeStooges.net. He appeared in two 1934 SCREEN SNAPSHOTS one-reelers with the Stooges, but did not share a scene with them.
But... There are three actors who are also known for playing 'Tarzan,' and did indeed work onscreen with the Three Stooges in the Columbia shorts.
Anyone care to name those three Lords of the Jungle?

Did you know Mabel Albertson was her ex-mother-in-law?
Cloris and Mabel remained close, lifelong friends. Although Cloris' prolific film/TV credits don't reflect, Ms. Leachman took a sabbatical from acting to assist/nurse Mabel at the end of her life as she suffered from Alzheimer's.

After much thought I remembered an awful old movie that I saw once mucho years back. The guy that played him had a crazy yell that sounded to me like "Oh Man-ya-niiii" I could never forget it, but no way could I remember his name. A search revealed that actor to be another former Olympic medalist (decathlon) by the name of Glenn Morris.
Was he the final Tarzan?

If you take a second or two to look at my reply, you will see that it has a link to Bennett's Stooge-filmography in this website's Cast Database.
And, he starred as 'Tarzan' in THE NEW ADVENTURES OF TARZAN (1935), an independent production done with the cooperation of the Burroughs Estate. Unlike the MGM and RKO films, it was generally faithful to ERB's stories, depicting him as the well-educated 'Lord Greystoke.'

Thanks, Sven. You're right; I have seen Mr. Bennett in that very movie. It's been a long time since I saw that one.
Thank you, GMDF, for the link to the interview. It was good to see those actors, and it was interesting. I'd been thinking about Ron Ely, too, because I said to myself he was too young to have been in any Stooges shorts unless he'd been just a little fellow at the time. Seeing Fess Parker reminded me of the running joke on "The Golden Girls" about how Dorothy (Bea Arthur) looked like Fess Parker. FP appeared in a short film which explained voir dire to potential jurors; I saw it in the '90s when I was summoned (but not chosen). Anyway, thanks, GMDF.

This looks like either Baby Peggy or Rose Marie. Both have vaudeville ties to the Stooges. Rose Marie claims that Jerome Howard was dubbed "Curley," based on her stage name of Rose Marie Curley.
-
Hello, Hiram Horwitz! One of your ideas is correct. And, yes, I, too, think the two girls you named resembled one another, at least in this pose. I didn't know Baby Rose Marie ever used a surname, even a stage surname.
So...which one do you pick?
-
Holy shit Sig! You gotta be a tad more generous with the clues if you're gonna put up baby pictures! With the bug eyes she resembles "Mary" from the old little Rascals, but since she never amounted to anything I know it's not her. >:(

OK...I have to go with Peggy, since she looks nothing like Rose Marie, but I don't know who Baby Peggy was. :-[
-
Right you are, Sven, it's Baby Peggy. During the silent movie years, the first three child stars were Jackie Coogan, Baby Marie and Baby Peggy. Sadly enough, all three ended up broke through no fault of their own.
Baby Peggy, nee` Peggy-Jean Montgomery, was only 1 1/2 years old when she was "discovered." She made a multitude of shorts as well as a number of features, earning up to one million dollars a year, a huge fortune for the time. Most of her films are no longer in existence. Here's a clip from one of her movies:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwri32dW5mM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwri32dW5mM)
You can read more about her here:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0045133/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0045133/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm)
As an adult, she took the name Diana Serra Cary. She is a published author of film history books. Baby Peggy will turn 96 on the 29th of this month.

It is not accurate. Over 30 of the Gang are still with us.
Of the major players from the Hal Roach Studios era (1922 - 1938) we have Lassie Lou Ahern, Jean Darling, Dickie Moore, Sidney 'Woim' Kibrick, Jerry Schatz (aka Jerry Tucker) and Mildred Kornman. Plus Robert Blake from the reviled MGM years (1938 - 1944).
Minor players that may be familiar names are the Hickman brothers (Darryl and Dwayne), TV director/producer Gene Reynolds (M*A*S*H, ROOM 222, MY THREE SONS) and Margaret Kerry (THE NEW 3 STOOGES, THE RUGGLES, CLUTCH CARGO, Walt Disney's PETER PAN).

I'm a fan of all of the above. Baby Peggy shared the vaudeville stage with Ted Healy and His Stooges, circa 1928-1929. In her words, that's when Ted's Stooges were Moe, Larry, and Shemp. Baby Peggy was not a fan of the Stooges act, but she has positive memories of Healy. She was a child at the time and found the Stooge's act to be "rude." In later life, she encountered Larry Fine at the Motion Picture Home -- and he recognized her as the former Baby Peggy. The details of Baby Peggy's encounter with the Stooges is chronicled on pages 36-41 of Stooges Among Us. Rose Marie's story of the Stooges is chronicled in the same book, on pages 60-63. To add insult to injury, my encounter with the Stooges is chronicled in the same book on pages 111-147. Definitely required reading if you wish to pass my class.

The book contains seventeen formal chapters, each chapter written by a different individual. I wrote the chapter extending from page 111 to page 147.

Here's my quick summary. In the early 1970s, I wondered what ever happened to these guys. Were they still alive and lucid? If so, where did they live and what did they look like? If not, when did they die and how? (Realize this is before the internet, before Stroke of Luck, before Moe Howard & the Three Stooges, and before any of the other dozens of books that have been published since that time). So I made it my mission to find the answers to my questions, and through happenstance and good luck.....I found the answers to my questions.....and ultimately had the good fortune to meet each of the remaining Stooges face to face. That includes Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe.

Last I heard, Jean Darling is still living in Dublin, Ireland, at the same address where she's been for many years. Up until 2010, she was making routine appearances at select Sons of the Desert conventions here in the states, and at the Laurel & Hardy Museum in Harlem, GA, near where I live. (Harlem, GA is Oliver Hardy's birthplace). In case you're interested, I've attached a couple of snapshots showing: 1) the front of Harlem's Laurel & Hardy Museum; 2) a picture of Jean from a 2006 Sons of the Desert convention held in Augusta, GA (this photo is on display at the L&H Museum); and 3) a 2002 painting of Oliver Hardy that Jean created (this, too, is on display at the L&H Museum).

Besser was great -- very down-to-earth and personal. He spoke of his time with Olsen and Johnson, the Milton Berle radio show, the Jack Benny Show, supporting Abbott and Costello, and of course, his time with the Stooges. He was certainly very happy to be remembered, but he lamented his difficulty in finding sufficient current day jobs to keep him busy. Around that time, he was voicing a Saturday morning cartoon character. Although he was happy to have the job, he clearly felt it paled in comparison to his previous work with the greats.

I'm glad to meet another person who has no cellphone, no Facebook page, etc. I was beginning to feel like the only one of my kind. :) As a matter of fact, I use a friend's computer as I don't own one. I'll look up the Gary Lassin Stooges Yahoo Groups; thanks. Have you books on the silents or on Vaudeville?
Glad to hear you're one of the discerning few who thrive on the basics. A diminishing club indeed -- but nothing wrong with that!
My hat's off to you for utilizing the library instead of personal ownership -- nothing wrong with that either. I typically only purchase books that have special meaning, highly limited distribution, are personally inscribed by the author, or have high likelihood of becoming collectible. For this very reason, I have very few books on silent films and vaudeville. However, I've read quite a few of the applicable books on the subject -- usually ones lent to me by friends or ones that are available at the local community and university libraries.
The last book I added to my collection was a couple of years ago. That book was special as it was inscribed to me by the elderly author who was a silent film star 90 years ago. You guessed it -- the autobiography of Baby Peggy!

I like the elegant way you phrased your first two sentences. Neatly done. :)
I think it's neat that your most recent purchase was DSC's autobiography. In fact, that's my next library request. Your Stooges book will take awhile to come in, so I'll have time to read about Baby Peggy. I hope you had a photo taken with DSC. That would be great.

I'm a fan of all of the above. Baby Peggy shared the vaudeville stage with Ted Healy and His Stooges, circa 1928-1929. In her words, that's when Ted's Stooges were Moe, Larry, and Shemp. Baby Peggy was not a fan of the Stooges act, but she has positive memories of Healy. She was a child at the time and found the Stooge's act to be "rude." In later life, she encountered Larry Fine at the Motion Picture Home -- and he recognized her as the former Baby Peggy. The details of Baby Peggy's encounter with the Stooges is chronicled on pages 36-41 of Stooges Among Us. Rose Marie's story of the Stooges is chronicled in the same book, on pages 60-63. To add insult to injury, my encounter with the Stooges is chronicled in the same book on pages 111-147. Definitely required reading if you wish to pass my class.
I've just learned I'm a larvae amongst fully grown butterflies in the Stooge Kingdom ... how wonderful for me! (thanks Stooge [and old film buffs] butterflies)

I would love to have my photo taken with Ms. Cary, but as of yet, I have not met her face to face. My signed copy of the book was obtained through a friend who worked with her at a speaking engagement. As such, the inscription says: "I'm sorry we did not get to meet -- perhaps this book will make up for a visit!"
I probably should be posting this in the "new" silent film thread, but I was unable to find it. Just goes to show my lack of tech savvy.

You 3 guys are kindred spirits when it comes to the silents. Unfortunately I won't be much of a contributor, having seen only a few, most of them Chaney films.
But I AM pleased to report that the 'Giff Me Dat Spumoni' club of old school has another member. But I must confess that I do own a cell phone that my daughter bought me, and it's in a drawer. I take it out once a week when it beeps at me for more juice. It's my little once a week alarm clock. ;)

I saw about five, maybe six Lon Chaney silents. The penalty was my favorite. In close shots he would dramatically over act, like a stage performer.
Except he had no stage experience that I know of.

It is Desi Arnaz, rehearsing with Belushi on the set of SNL. Desi was the host/musical guest on Feb. 21, 1976.

It is, indeed, Desi Arnaz. Spencer Tracy was a good guess; I didn't notice the resemblance, but it's there.

To answer the other part of your question Sig, there was an ongoing theme in the Chaney films: pathos. HIS pathos. He falls in love with the girl, the girl likes him, girl runs off with less creepy guy, he laments.
I suppose 'horrendous' is a good word to describe his films at the time; not so much today. The creepiest for me was The Unknown. The leading lady was my girl, Lucille La Seuer.
I'm going to finish this post over on the active SILENT MOVIE thread as the subject of Lon Chaney belongs there.

I never heard that about Desi's MD. Lucy had pneumonia a number of times, which her smoking (no, not cigars :)) likely made her more vulnerable to having. HiramHorwitz, can you confirm or refute the story that Lucy preferred Chesterfields, so would put those inside the Philip Morris packets so as not to offend PM, the sponsor?

I'm afraid I know nothing about Lucy's preferred brand of smokes. I only know about Desi's Cuban cigars because I recalled reading his MD's statement in the obituary. At the time, I wondered how the physician could differentiate between the effects of the cigars and the cigarettes. Maybe it's just that Desi preferred cigars over cigarettes. That sounds like a question to ask Desi Junior or sister Lucie. Any takers?

I can't confirm it, but it's very credible. On the subject I DO know that Phillip Morris wouldn't allow the word LUCKY to be spoken on the show. :)

At first I, too, wondered how an MD could make that statement. But I'm guessing he must have treated enough patients to have observed differences among cigarette smokers, cigar smokers and Cuban cigar smokers. Cuban cigars must have different tobacco to American cigars, so maybe they affect smokers differently.

I seriously doubt that! MD's didnt know dick about the real effects of tobacco use and lung cancer. But I would hope that they knew that the great majority of cigar and pipe smokers don't inhale. How could they tie that to the lungs in any way?
By the way: I once knew a guy that smoked cigs, cigars, pipes AND pot! He also used that shit they stick in their cheeks. Smoke was his life! I know what you're thinking....the guy has to be dead!
HE IS.

You may be right when you say MDs didn't know anything about the real effects of tobacco and lung cancer. But cigarettes were known as coffin nails long, long ago, remember. I wrote what I did because of my early school days when we were shown movies or film strips about the dangers of smoking. I think the dangers were known to a degree, but certainly not publicized as they are now, and not understood as fully as they are now.
So, the fellow you knew who smoked cigarettes, cigars, pipes and pot, and who used snuff/chewing tobacco - - is/was that you? :o

Sig, I'm afraid that the quote I screwed up on and (it's all in one box) made me misunderstand your question. Hell no that smoke fiend was not me! :laugh: He was I guy I was stationed with years ago. Lost track of him.

Well, I quoted my earlier reply accidentally, but I fixed it. I apologize for the confusion. Then I noticed that I didn't see the part of your post which read that the "smoke fiend" you knew is, in fact, dead. I wouldn't have asked if it were you had I read that. I'm sorry for my mistakes.

The woman was a prolific actress, and very popular in her day. She did a little TV in the late '50s. (Perry Mason, Hitchcock) but I don't think she ever received Oscar recognition. That, of course, eliminates Bette Davis. Later I'll put up a better picture of her, full faced, so don't scratch out all your hair just yet, Spumoni. :)
The boy in the High School pic won an Oscar early on, but in 50 more years that was not repeated. Due to a Garfield-esque quality he acted in a lot of cops and robbers productions. His TV career was equally notable.
The last man struck out on the big screen, but was a hit on the small one. Some may look at that face and immediately know. Others (like I) will be utterly confounded.
May I request that if you know one of these people right off, or was tempted to peek, add a subtle hint to keep the Signor in the hunt. Like I, he digs this stuff. ;)

Yes...I thought that the "W" would throw you off, because the mind naturally thinks of the "R" sound in words like "Wright Bros". Well done.
Now, the Italian one, in later life became associated with two other actors whose roots go back to that Island off of Italy. The Jewish one lacks an iconic feature (or two) that makes him look totally different from the face familiar to us.

You're right, this request arrived fast. Ordinarily, an interlibrary loan/purchase request here takes about six weeks, as it does for you. A few times my requests took so long to arrive that not only did I forget what I requested, I forgot that I requested any! :)
I truly enjoyed your section of Stooges Among Us. Fellow Stoogeaphiles, read this book! I'm still reading, but so far each section details the search for Stooges in the 1970s, eventual location of them, the correspondence and eventual meeting. Larry and Moe were unfailingly courteous to and interested in their fans. Their appreciation of having fans is obvious. It's heartwarming, too, to read about the interactions between Stooges and HH.
I like the way your father helped you, HiramHorwitz. He sounds like a good egg. I enjoyed seeing all your photos. I like the way you found Joe Besser, Joe DeRita and Emil Sitka, too, It was interesting to read how Diana Serra Cary liked Ted Healy but not The Stooges. I'm guessing TH was always sober when he talked with her. Rose Marie had an interesting story about the name, Curly. It was new to me.
It was very enjoyable and well-written, HH. Thank you for telling us about the book. I rate this book four out of four pies in the face. [pie]

SS: Your kind words are much appreciated -- so glad you're enjoying the book! My search for the Stooges was one of the few times in life when everything worked out perfectly -- and for that, I'm still thankful and amazed.
Yes, my dad is definitely a good egg. I just visited him for his 92nd birthday -- I took him out for crabs and filet mignon -- and while there, we talked about our 1974 bus drive across the country to visit the Stooges. In many ways, our bus ride seems like it occurred just yesterday.
My chapter in Stooges Among Us is the narrative portion of my multi-media presentation entitled Searching Out the Stooges. I've given the presentation several times at the Stoogeum, various educational institutions, historical clubs, and miscellaneous local events. On November 8th, I'll be giving the presentation at the St. Louis Three Stooges Convention. As you might guess, the big difference between the narrative in Stooges Among Us and the multi-media presentation is the audio clips, video coverage, and large number of photographs that complement the oral presentation. I only wish there were an effective way of integrating everything into the hard copy book.
I can't agree with you more that Larry and Moe treated their fans with unflagging hospitality and generosity. Obviously, that's what paved the way for so many fans (like myself) to step into their world and meet them face to face.
Thank you for the four pies!

S'garlic: I've got to admit, I don't know all the details of this convention -- but I'll tell you what I know. I believe this is a "one time" convention -- it hasn't happened before and probably won't happen again. From what I've been told, there will be films, a trivia contest, a couple of call-in guests (Stooge relatives and possibly, one of the later Stooge supporting players), and one or two special guests in attendance (one of the later supporting players and one Stooge relative). I believe this is the first attempt of the organizers to hold such an event -- these are different organizers than those holding past Stooges conventions -- so I'm guessing that the program is still evolving as we speak and thus subject to change.
The meeting place is the Columns Banquet Center in St. Charles, MO; the time is 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; and the cost of admission is $15 for adults and $5 for children. From what I've been told, my presentation will occur in the middle of the afternoon, probably at around 2:00 or 3:00.

OK Siggy. You deserve a break today. The Sicilian in question co-starred as a gangster in a black and white movie of some note with the woman pictured below. An extremely iconic title went with this film that drew loosely on the Infamous Gangster Louis 'Lepke' Buchalter. But Lepke's was a minor role. Our guy, tho' the second male lead fairly stole the picture.
To possibly further confound you, one of the regular panelist's from I've Got a Secret had a substantial part in the movie!

All right, I have it now: your Sicilian is Peter Falk, a very young Peter Falk. I'm embarrassed to admit that you handed that to me on a platter. That's Mai Britt pictured with her erstwhile husband, Sammy Davis, Jr. The movie, of course, is "Murder, Inc." When you referred to the regular "I've Got A Secret" panelist the only one I could recall was Henry Morgan. Then it hit me: it was Henry Morgan!

Nope, not Mary, but now that you mention it there's a definate resemblance. And she would only be a couple of years younger than the woman pictured. (If she was still living ;))
The bottom is not a 'Mary' either. This gal's career was predominately talkie's.

I'll have to modify my last answer as it just hit me that the third woman with JB is in fact a Mary. Here's a closer look at her as she was about 15 years before she landed the role that she's most remembered for. It was a Warner Bros. production, and a big money maker.

The bottom is Mary Astor. The movie the picture is from is DON JUAN, a film I've seen and the first Warner Bros. Feature to use a synchronized music score. Honestly, Barrymore was the giveaway for me, and I connected the dots for Mary Astor, especially after the second clue.

Both correct, of course. And you are right: you reminded me that it was Warner that pushed hardest for talkies. But how're you doing on Miss Middle?

The middle? Marilyn Monroe. The sign in the back was a giveaway. If you look closely, you can see director G Cukor and figure out the title is LET'S MAKE LOVE. Further research confirmed it. Joe Besser was in that one.

You're right, Sven, of course it was MM. Some work for me came up, and I knew it would be a while before I would make it back here.
The picture I posted on 22.October was MM made up as silent star, Theda Bara. It was part of a photo shoot in which she appeared as several other famous actresses of which these are two more:
Clara Bow:

I planned to post these as further clues before I knew I would be too busy to post at all. I didn't want to leave people hanging in case they asked for clues for the original picture, so I posted an easily identifiable picture of MM. I decided to use a photo instead of just saying who the mystery actor was.
It also happens that I prefer her pictures from her early days, back when she was Norma Jean, like this:

My chapter in Stooges Among Us is the narrative portion of my multi-media presentation entitled Searching Out the Stooges. I've given the presentation several times at the Stoogeum, various educational institutions, historical clubs, and miscellaneous local events. On November 8th, I'll be giving the presentation at the St. Louis Three Stooges Convention. As you might guess, the big difference between the narrative in Stooges Among Us and the multi-media presentation is the audio clips, video coverage, and large number of photographs that complement the oral presentation. I only wish there were an effective way of integrating everything into the hard copy book.
Update: I just received word of a family matter that will prevent me from attending the St Louis convention on November 8th. Obviously, that means I won't be giving my presentation. As such, if any of you attend the convention, would you please post a summary of the festivities? Thanks!

I would have gotten this one as I recognize the one with the star on his platforms as the guy that looked like a kitty. I guess I'm like the Signor as I couldn't name one Kiss song if my life depended on it. I did, however, know who Gene Simmons was, and liked him for hooking up with one of my fave Playboy Playmates whose name escapes me at the moment.
When he started a reality show I stopped paying attention to him, but can't help catching him on Letterman from time to time.

A little history? Well, first off, the proper terminology is KISSTORY. ;D
That would be like asking me to sum up The Three Stooges. You'd need a novel. Let's just say they've been around for 40 years. They wear make up, took it off in the mid 80's - mid 90's, have had two consistent main members with revolving lead guitarists and drummers, and they divide rocks fans. Some people view them strictly as a marketing gimmick with awful music. While nobody denies the former, the latter is up for debate. I happen to like their music, I literally have every studio album and their classic live albums on CD, even THE ELDER! That said, a ton of hard rock and metal bands claim them as an influence.
As for disco, their debut came out in 1974 just when disco was starting, but they're a rock band who had one big disco themed hit in 1979, "I Was Made For Loving You," the same way the Stones and Rod Stewart had their token disco hit. Ironically, they were on Casablanca Records in the 70's, a rock band on a, wait for it......disco label.

Thank you for the Kisstory! I understand there's much more to this, but this puts things into order in a way I didn't know before now. I knew of someone who was a tremendous Kiss fan, too. He even had the dolls, or perhaps they're called collector's items. That was in the late '90s, and I think that was when I had the first inkling that Kiss was a real band. The person of whom I knew was a big headbanger. He didn't seem the type to be a fan of a Monkees/Archies group.
You're right about the "token disco hits." Even Ethel Merman had a disco record, among other unlikely performers.

Kiss was best in the 70's. That's when I grew up on them. I would put on some platform shoes, put on one of my older brother's Kiss albums, and play air guitar. But when you're a little kid and Kiss is your older brother's favorite band, and you share a bedroom with him, he puts up Kiss posters on the wall. And, it's hard to get to sleep when you're staring at those damn posters! Creepy!

That was a close guess. And as far as I know, Danny only made an impact in TV and local radio. On the red hair: this kid may have started out with red hair, but as an adult it became more brownish. Unlike your two guesses, this guy was a major player; Oscars and Emmy nominations up the ass! However, there lurked a dark side to his personality.
