Mrsl,
I enjoyed Trouble Along The Way, and what you said is so true concerning a role that the Duke played that is so out of the ordinary.
Donna Reed and Sherry Jackson are good. I'm glad someone else appreciates it, too!

BUHBUHBUPSIDE Down?....hic...hic...hic...gone!

Time for fruit cup....

I love Mel Brooks, too. I am going out on a limb here, but does anyone remember The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother? Madleline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Leo McKern? I laughed so hard that I had to leave the theater twice. But I had been through a recent heart-breaking romance, and I recall ...

I love your Garbo avatar!

Hysterical. LOL. I do a Kate impression myself, so I'll have to figure out how to work in the meatball and a Lucy "Wah...."

I've never heard that story...but I did watch the Kate bio the other night.
I also liked Kate Remembered by M. Scott Berg.

Dear Johnm,
What a great thread idea! Unfortunately, I can't name that tune in 32 bars...
It reminds me of something from the mid-60's, but I really have no clue.

Dear Judith,
Thanks for playing this. It is a great thread idea.
I was thinking more of a famous actor that they both had
starred with ----Humphrey Bogart in a Vitaphone short called
Broadway's Like That. But Flo Ziegfield is a good one, too.
Why don't you ask another good one?

Ruth Etting and Joan Blondell.

I'm thinking of someone that they have in common.

Okay. I loved Jean Simmons in Young Bess.
Last summer I actually got to visit Hatfield House north of London.
Didn't know about the info you posted.
I also didn't realize that Frederic March and Florence Eldridge had been married for so long. (48 years!)

Both played Lucy Brady in different versions of Inherit The Wind?
(Florence Eldridge - 1960, Jean Simmons- 1988)

If it is any consolation, some of the highest gas prices in Texas have always been at stations close to the Exxon "White House" complex near the Gulf Coast.

Both starred in films with their husbands?

Dear Danny,
Beautiful Chaplin drawing. You are good!

I still totally adore my avatar. It's gorgeous. Ginger would be pleased, too!
Thanks so much to you all.
