Thanks Fernando. You have a good eye since that is indeed Katy Jurado. Perhaps I need new glasses.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks Joe, for the pleasant pictures of Marie Windsor and Nancy Sinatra, Sr. (the only decent Sinatra).

I had to laugh at the picture of George Sanders and then seeing Zsa Zsa and her prince. It's as if Georgie is having the last laugh - - go back and have a look at ZZ and then GS and you'll see what I mean!!!
George Sanders was more of a prince than Freddie ever will be....

Roxanne Arlen was a singer, dancer, entertainer around town and in NYC and London. She travelled with some big shows in the 50's.
In the 60's she was a headliner in Las Vegas, in the smaller lounges, a sort of mini Hildegard or Dagmar.
She was a great friend of Ann Warner and you can see her in "Gypsy" as one of the strippers who advise Natalie Wood. She's the one with the light bulbs!!!
She was said to be in love with Cesar Romero.
I don't know if she's still alive but she would be in her 70's now...

I think this is Katy Jurado

More awesome pics, I love this thread and can't thank you enough!

Hollywood's Tarzan Johnny Weissmuller cooling off

I never knew that Johnny Weismuller had a resemblance to Cary Grant, maybe it's just me who sees it, I could have sworn it was Cary until I scrolled down to reveal the name.

[mongoII]

Larry, thanks for the additional info regarding Roxanne Arlen.
Sorry to report that she died in London at age 58 in 1989.

Thanks Donna, however Fernando's keen eye already alerted me to the error as posted above.

Thanks CCfan, but I will stick to Johnny Weissmuller on this one.

More great pics Mongo.

I wasn't doubting you about Johnny Weissmuller, I was surprised that I could see a resemblance to Cary. In fact I showed the picture to hubby without telling him who it was, he said Victor Mature so I prompted him with Cary Grant, it couldn't possibly be in his mind as Cary Grant is scrawny not in my mind

[knitwit45]

Hi Joe.
Love the picture of Katherine Hepburn. She looks totally relaxed and actually happy. So many of her photos seem to show a pinched look, like she wasn't quite comfortable in her own skin.

Thanks for all the work you put into this thread, it's my morning starter!

Nancy

[klondike]

Hey, Mongo, as ever, great pix!
Speaking once again of uncanny resemblences, I was blown away by how much starlet Susan Peters' reminds one of modern-day starlet Christina Applegate!
I mean, adjusting for haircolor & lifetime dates, they could almost be sisters!

[jdb1]

You know, watching the seemingly 24/7 cable broadcasts of House lately, I've been thinking that Hugh Laurie, now out of the Upperclass Twit persona we are accustomed to seeing him in from various films and Britcoms, reminds me of someone.

Now I know who Laurie, as the snarling Dr. House, brings to mind: Boris Karloff. Take a look at the photo above of Karloff in the makeup chair, sans shirt.

[mongoII]

Thanks Nancy. I too thought that Katharine Hepburn looked unusually at ease in thet image.

Klondike, it's amazing how we notice the resemblances of stars to other stars as with Susan Peters to Christina Applegate,
CCfan's Cary Grant to Johnny Weissmuller and Judith's Hugh Laurie to Boris Karloff.

[charliechaplinfan]

Judith, you're right. I know I've said it before but wheneve I put a Fred Astaire movie on when my husband's in the vicinity he always comments on the resemblance to Stan Laurel. Runis the magic of the dancing, therefore I view in private

Is that a Santa Claus I spy up there Klondike how many days, my daughter is the expert

[mongoII]

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Joe aka Mongo

Ann Blyth, Jack Benny, Paul Douglas, Irene Dunne, William Holden & Loretta Young in the obscure anti-communist featurette "You Can Change the World" (1951)

Wow
Joe, have you actually seen this brief movie directed by Leo McCarey, (in what I regard as the dark, later years of his career)?? From the descriptions on IMDb, it sounds like a doozie! I like this part of one reviewer's comments about the apolitical Jack Benny's odd presence here:

"Benny seems annoyed that he has to host and listen to the 20 minute anti-communist sermon given by a rather nervous and witless Catholic Priest. The guest stars, like Loretta Young and William Holden remind one of Prisoners of War who are forced to recite confessions."

The poster's description of "a rather nervous and witless Catholic Priest" is referring to Father James Keller, a Maryknoll priest & founder of The Christophers, a group that made inspirational programming for tv for several decades. He was big among the Hollywood types such as Young, Dunne, Crosby, etc., who attended "Our Lady of the Cadillacs" aka The Church of the Blessed Sacrament, in LA. I saw Fr. Keller speak as a child. He was not entirely witless, but his voice quavered so much I thought he was about to burst into tears.

Gee, someone should issue this along with My Son John on a dvd together. I LOVE the Laurel and Hardy as pilgrims picture! Thank you so much for finding that one.

Here's You Can Change The World on youtube:

[mongoII]

Thanks Moira.

I've never heard of the featurette until I came acoss the image that I posted.

Many thanks to MyrnaLoy for supplying us with a copy of the short from YouTube.
Although it was nice seeing all those stars gathered together the film is quite dated although the message was clear.
