Re: Welcome to Charles Tranberg, Guest Author on 11/23 & 11/24

Mr. Transburg ... thank you very much for the rundown of the movie of the 1954 Film - The Bridge of Toko-Ri and I have seen The Desperate Hours - but I need to see it again and I was hoping that TCM would show it someday! I'm a little vagued on this film and I would loved to see it one more time. A...

Re: Welcome to Charles Tranberg, Guest Author on 11/23 & 11/24

One final question ... Mr. Transburg. In the 1954 Film - The Bridge of Toko-Ri - He played a role of Rear Admiral George Tarrant and I was very stunned to see him in this role that starred William Holden and Grace Kelly. What is role was like? Can you please share anything about that movie? ... Tha...

Re: Welcome to Charles Tranberg, Guest Author on 11/23 & 11/24

First, I enjoyed your book on Agnes Moorehead very much and I've referred to it often. My question is whether you came across any information regarding Agnes possibly having a relationship with a man of Egyptian descent in the late 1950's. Of course, he may have just been an escort that accompanied...

Re: Welcome to Charles Tranberg, Guest Author on 11/23 & 11/24

Yes, that is a good question. Perhaps helped her parents move to Reedsburg before going off to College. Perhaps Axel Nissen in his forthcoming biography of Agnes Moorehead will have some additional information from that period of her life? :o Hrrrmmph. I think you are aware from this summer's discu...

Re: Welcome to Charles Tranberg, Guest Author on 11/23 & 11/24

Mr. Tranberg, Thanks so much for your in depth replies! It's a joy to get to know the man behind so many movie characters. One of my favorite roles for March is Robert Browning in The Barretts of Wimpole Street. I don't think it was exactly a showcase for March, more of one for Shearer, nor a stret...

I'm sorry, I meant that you are correct about her graduating in 1918. Over the years some other people have mentioned the same thing to me, and Central High School, now known as Central Visual & Performing Arts High School in St. Louis, does list her as an alumni graduating in 1918 on there web...

Good afternoon, Mr. Tranberg. Thank you for your Guest Author visit and willingness to discuss all of your books. No surprise, I'm sure, I have a question on your first book :wink: which I read five years ago. There is one fact regarding Miss Moorehead's education that has been puzzling me. You had...

The great questions from our members and your thorough replies are a pleasure to read, Charles and participants. Could you please post a bit about Fredric March's involvement with The Hollywood Anti-Nazi League , beginning in 1936? Was March involved in helping many anti-Nazi European émigrés tryin...

Time for another question ... Mr. Tranberg, I just remember something in 1944 he did The Adventures of Mark Twain and played Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) and I really find this movie very entertaining and can you share anything about this movie - and I wished that someday that TCM will air...

Re: Welcome to Charles Tranberg, Guest Author on 11/23 & 11/24

Hi Mr. Tranberg. Thank you for joining us here at the Oasis. Blinded by Gable and others, I keep forgetting about Fredric March. Silly me, of course, because he's put in such phenomenally consistently good work throughout the 30's and the 40's when I think about it. He's under the radar just as Dan...

Mr. Tranberg: Thanks for coming and thanks also for participating in some of the other threads. I mentioned to Moira that I read her interview with you about Fred MacMurray and found it educational and entertaining. I always thought Fred was a discovery for me as I originally knew him from "My...

Re: Welcome to Charles Tranberg, Guest Author on 11/23 & 11/24

Charles, we appreciate your visit here with us at The Silver Screen Oasis. Thank you for spending time with us! A quote attributed to March indicates to me that he was reconciled to the roller coaster ride of being in the limelight: "Stardom is just an uneasy seat on top of a tricky toboggan. ...
