GA Russell Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I think that the older Europeans will recognize post #504, as well as the North Americans. Here's another to think about until I get back. Valerie should get this one, if nobody beats her. Quote
brownie Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 The Jobs photo in post 490 is a heartbreaker! Quote
ValerieB Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 i remember Robert Q very well. he was very suave. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Correct on both counts, Jack! They are Robert Q. Lewis and Ben Alexander. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Who is Ben Alexander? Ben is best remembered as Frank Smith, Sgt. Joe Friday's sidekick on Dragnet. He had a major role in All's Quiet on the Western Front. He was a child actor for many years. As I recall, his final role was as a police desk sergeant on an ABC show whose name I don't remember. Because he had that role/commitment, he was unable to join with Jack Webb in the resurrection of Dragnet ca. 1968, so Webb got Harry Morgan instead. Quote
JSngry Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Ah, I see...I grew up on the later Dragnet, haven't been that exposed to the old ones, just a few episodes here and there. But yeah, ok, THAT guy!Ok, who's this? Quote
Free For All Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 John Byner! Still very recognizable! Quote

Mrs. Olson's boy Johnny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g056ldTdzjc Johnny Olson hosted a radio show in NYC in the early 50s. Our family was in the audience and he invited my mom onstage and did a short interview with her. Hadn't thought about that in years. Thanks for bringing back a memory.

GA Russell Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Correct, Valerie! I was watching an episode of my dad's favorite tv show, The Rogues, tonight (on DVD), and she was in it. I hadn't thought about her in years. Here's another one for you. Quote
GA Russell Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Correct, Jack! I'm pretty sure that Vera was Howard Hughes' girlfriend. Quote
ValerieB Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Correct, Jack! I'm pretty sure that Vera was Howard Hughes' girlfriend. one of his many girlfriends! Edited August 28, 2011 by ValerieB Quote
GA Russell Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Correct, Paul! Maybe that was too easy. Here's a guy who reminded me of Gig Young. Quote
ValerieB Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Correct, Paul! Maybe that was too easy. Here's a guy who reminded me of Gig Young. and Richard Long reminds me a bit of Robert Goulet. sorry i can't post his picture! Quote
