Excuse the late post, but I just back in town from a trip to "wonderful" LA (NOT!). Besides, I thought you guys needed more time to answer some of the questions from last week, but it looks like it didn't help....LOL!
OK, here's what you missed from TT Part 55:
Who Are We and Which Film is This? We appeared together only once, in a movie released in 1953. We have a lot in common: we're both extraordinarily beautiful women, we were both born in the month of August (although we are ten years apart in age), and we were both born in Los Angeles County. Our mothers were both involved in the theatrical profession in New York before we were born. One of us trained primarily as a singer, while the other studied piano and dance, among other things. Who Are We and Which Film is This?
Answer: Rhonda Fleming and Julie Newmar; the film was Serpent of the Nile.

Who are we - Cliff Richard and Lawrence Harvey
ReplyDeleteWho am I - Beulah Bondi?
1. It's a Wonderful Life and Of Human Hearts
2. They smoked? Ha ha. I don't remember that!
2. Winston ("tastes good, like a cigarette should!")
ReplyDelete6. Was it Rob Reiner?
7. "Ozzie and Harriet", and "Hazel".
9. "Montana" with Alexis Smith. I love ya, Errol, but you had no future in the recording industry. (How's that, JoAnn?)
4.) Love that Bob! (aKA The Bob Cummings Show)
ReplyDeleteTom, you're right about the Who Are We?! Good job! BTW, do you know the name of Cliff's band?
ReplyDeleteBut sorry, Beulah's not the answer to Who Am I?.
Becks, GASP!, you got the Flynn question right! LOL! In fact, you're right about #s 2, 7, and 9! Very good! But #6 is not Rob Reiner, sorry. I actually came up with the Flynn question this time after JoAnn insisted that we put one in for you. And who knows, he might have been dubbed! His guitar playing was!
Gilby, you're absolutely right! #4 is Love That Bob! BTW, do you remember how the show opened and what Bob said?
Who Am I #2 -- Thomas Mitchell?
ReplyDeleteMr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's A Wonderful Life.
Paul, JoAnn has you trained just right! Thanks for the Flynn question!
Becks, sorry, Thomas Mitchell is not the answer to Who Am I? #2.
ReplyDeleteI don't think JoAnn agrees that I'm trained right. She seems to still be working on me, LOL!
I have to go now....my Boise State Broncos are on national television in HD!!
#3. You Are There and 20th Century, both hosted by Walter Cronkite/
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Who Am I has got me stumped. A descendant of Edward III? Do I get at least a half of a point for answering half of #1 correctly? Jimmy Stewart did not make any other movies besides IAWL in 1946. So the cat is out of the bag there. :)
ReplyDeleteIs Who Am I ? #2 -- Is it HB Warner?
ReplyDelete#1) HB Warner was in It's a Wonderful Life and Mr Smith Goes to Washington
ReplyDeleteI'll take another crack at it.
ReplyDeleteWho Am I? - Is it Lionel Barrymore?
#) Lionel Barrymore was in It's a Wonderful Life and You Can't Take it With You.
Saz, correct as always! #3 is indeed You Are There and 20th Century, both hosted by Walter Cronkite.
ReplyDeleteGilby and Tom, great guessing, but sorry....none of those are correct! Yes, It's a Wonderful Life is the picture referred to in the question, but so far you haven't mentioned the right person!
Who am I?#2
ReplyDeleteGloria Grahame
#1) The Greatest Show on Earth and It's a Wonderful Life
#6) Ronnie Schell
ReplyDeleteGilby, way to go! Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have a winner! You nailed Who Am I? #2 and question #6....good job!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Gilby got question #1, too!
ReplyDeleteRecap: still need to answer #s 8 and 10. Technically, Gilby already answered #5.
Good job, everyone!
