Mr. Rollyson, thank you for your earlier response. I noted with interest your comment that Dana Andrews would have loved to have gotten just about any role at Fox that had gone to Gregory Peck. I guess that despite his track record, with Peck's emergence and Tyrone Power and Victor Mature back from...

Thank you Carl, I'm so surprised that Dana didn't get nominated for an Oscar, I was sure he would have done. Did he ever receive a nomination or does he belong to the group of great actors who made it look that easy that he never got a nod by the Academy. I love Fredric March and he deserved his Os...

Thank you for joining us here. I'm a big fan of Dana Andrews but aside from his films and what I've read here I know virtually nothing. I haven't watched a Dana Andrews film I haven't liked, I would watch a move just because he was in it. From the questions and answers here what comes through is a ...

Thank you so much for your response. We here in Texas are always proud of all of our connections to greatness, and that reputation has preceded us for at least a century and a half. :lol: I CAN TELL YOU THAT DANA ANDREWS WAS PROUD TO BE A TEXAN. WHEN LBJ INVITED DANA TO THE WHITE HOUSE, DANA TOLD H...

Dear Mr. Rollyson, A wonderful welcome to you as you visit us here at the Silver Screen Oasis! We appreciate your time and consideration. One of Dana Andrews' onscreen performances includes "A Tree. A Rock. A Cloud" by Carson McCullers, and I have never seen this short film. Can you tell ...

Thank you very much for your reply! I hope you do get to hear Linda's recording, I'm very curious about it and hope it can somehow be made available to more people. I've no idea what these "oral histories" are...if they are the histories of the subject or something broader, but they sound...

I deal with Dana's more important radio performances, but I do not provide a complete list. I think the best list I've seen is in James McKay's book, Dana Andrews: The Face of Noir. Thank you kindly for giving me that information (I’m reminded of A Miracle of 34th Street. :) ) I think Dana had one ...

I've been a fan of Dana Andrews since the year 1965 where I saw him in six theatrical releases and discovered LAURA and BOOMERANG! on TV. I had seen him in other films earlier, but at that point I was a bit too young to be paying attention to anyone who wasn't SKY KING. Somewhere around here, I hav...

Welcome to the Oasis and thank you for spending a little time telling us about your enigmatic subject. Count me as an admirer, Laura being one of those seminal classic films that ushered me into my lifelong love of movies. It never pales, and I believe Dana was the quintessential movie detective. W...

Hello Mr. Rollyson, Dana Andrews is one of my favorite actors … “favorite actor” to me, often means someone who I’ll watch even in a poor film, just to see them. The earliest roles I saw Andrews in were Zero Hour! , The Best Years of Our Lives, and Three Hours to Kill. He made a strong impression i...

Unlike most biographies of actors which always make their lives before success seem rather dull, I found that Dana Andrews' complex relationship with his father and his experiences as a youth to be quite moving in your book. This was especially so since the journal entries and letters your biograph...

Hi Carl I'm from the UK and I can't pretend to be a great expert on Dana Andrew movies, in fact surprisingly enough I'm more familair about his brother Steve Forrest and that's mainly due to his 1965 UK action adventure series The Baron with Sue Llyod. I don't know if the brother's ever worked toge...

Hi, Carl! It's great to have you at the Oasis this weekend. I am very excited about your book! You mentioned that Dana played the role of Tom in The Glass Menagerie . I can't think of a better person to play this role! I only wish I could go back in time to see this performance. Do you have any mor...
