Who Am I? My career spanned more than 60 years; I've appeared in more than a hundred movies and television episodes, and I've worked with almost everyone in Hollywood.

I think you are Mary Wickes. #1) Mary was in Cimarron with Russ Tamblyn
ReplyDelete#2. I think it was 3.
ReplyDelete#10. He Walked by Night(1948), based on the real-life murder of a California Highway Patrolman.
ReplyDeleteGilby, you're on a roll! You've knocked down numbers 1, 3-6 and the Who Am I! Good job! P.S. Did Mom help?
ReplyDeleteDawn, good try but the answer to #2 is not 3. However, you are dead bang on for #10! He Walked By Night is the answer.
Indirectly, my mom helped -- she loves Topper the tv show so when I remembered who was in that Turner-Gable movie(a bit forgettable frankly) the rest came easily! Mary Wickes was ALL me -- I wrote a blog about her for TCM and Film Philes so the Bette Davis & Glenn Ford clues were perfect!
ReplyDeleteFor #7, how about BLOOD ON THE SUN? For #8, the director of the 1953 THE HITCH-HIKER was Ida Lupino.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your above statements. The Classic Film and TV Cafe is a place for fans to mingle and share their love of great films and television series, ranging from the silent film era to the early 1980s.
