Sue Sue, this response is for Anne. Sometimes it is what you don't see that provides the magic in the story. Sometimes it's what you think you see and really don't that proves to be great story telling. In this case it's a little bit of both. I tried, off stage, to touch my nose with a 16 pound sled...

CineMaven, When I joined the Screen Actors Guild there were a few over 8,000 members. Now there are over 120,000 not counting the AFTRA members we just merged with. I never want to dim anyone's dream. To make a living in any of the arts in our society is difficult. Don't let that stop you from going...

Christy I think I've answered all the questions. Let me know if I missed any. Denny

I remember doing a comedic fight scene in HOUSE CALLS . Sorry I can't recall the name of my character. My wife and I have had to get in touch with the folks at IMDB and correct them on a few things. They've given me credit in shows I wasn't in and haven't given me credit where it was due. Take a loo...

The Fugitive - The story took place mainly in and around a real carnival. The character I played was that of a man with the mind of a 7-year- old. Type Casting! We started almost at dawn with a chilly mist on the ground. The carnival workers were just waking up. In make-up, the word was passed alon...

Gator, continued - The director told me to swim fast enough to meet the gator as they dragged it through the water. We were to meet in the middle of the stream, and the stream was about chest deep. The director yells "Action!" I swam, and they pulled and just before we met, I dove to the b...

Animals - My horse stepped on my foot and broke my small toe. For weeks I worked with one Indian moccasin and one cowboy boot. During the Tarzan shoot, the lion cub (the size of a St.Bernard) clawed my back bad enough to send me to the hospital. The chimp bit me on the hand. The chimp's trainer told...

Hi, again! Richard Boone--Always liked his acting. On Have Gun Will Travel , we did a big fight scene and a guy who was to hit me with a breakaway chair picked the wrong chair and knocked me out. I ended up head first out a window with my feet way back in the saloon. Richard was a good host. The TV ...

Jack, My first job was on the Life of Riley . The character was a football player sitting in a swing in Riley's back yard with Riley's daughter. We were having an ice cream cone. My thought was--they pay you for this?! This is much more fun than being pushed around on a basketball court. His daughte...

Jack Favell - Continued--George Burns:Every Monday for 25 weeks we were to rehearse that weeks' episode and shoot it Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Instead we listened to George Burns' songs and routines and laughed. He was the producer of "Meet Mona McCluskey" and didn't seem to worry ...

Jack Favell, Glad you enjoyed '"THE PARTY" Sure was fun to make and work with the comic genius Peter Sellers. Ward Bond -He was one of my favorite actors. He had a great career. My first time working on Wagon Train I was up-tight. So much so, I heard a month later, that they were going to ...

Moira - time for lunch! I'll be back with Sydney Pollack and Sidney Poitier. Denny

Moira continued - Directors -- building their Ferris Wheel. Director Minelli came out walked around the wheel and then it took him a half an hour to convince the assistant director to tell the guys to take it down and move it a foot to the left. Sinatra and Martin showed up to work and found out wha...

Moira, Hi. George Gukor directed my screen test for MGM. I was under contract at Review Studios which soon became Universal Studios. MGM eventually bought my contract from Review. When George Cukors' name appears on the screen test as Director, there is little chance that lucky actor will not pass t...

Christy, It was an honor to play the same role as Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe - both Olympic Gold Medal winners in swimming. Also, not generally known, Glenn Morriss won Gold in the 1936 Oympics held in Berlin with a sad Hitler in the stands. Herman Brix, another Tarzan, won the Silver meda...
