Please sign in, Mystery Guest.
Do you know me?
I loved to sing, and I came to Hollywood at just the right time. I made about 20 films in a very popular genre for a small studio that specialized in such movies. I co-starred with a loyal quadruped and an equally loyal human actor who, many years later, became a TV star in two successful series. My films had one other subsequent loyal pal who became a very successful character actor, especially on TV. In the 1960s, he made a very big impression in a very dark comedy -- one of the most famous scenes in cinema.
I also tried TV, but my starring role wasn't a big success, and faded away quickly. During the 1950s, however, I was part of a very successful television franchise, and viewers of that era knew me by my distinctive sound, if not by sight. These days those programs are criticized for being staged and unrealistic, although they purported to be "true life."
Who am I?

You're on the right track, Charlie, but the Mystery Guest isn't Autry.CharlieT wrote:Just to get the ball rolling, I'll guess that the mystery guest is Gene Autry. Pat Buttram and Smiley Burnett both found some success in TV.
Both of this MG's sidekicks achieved greater fame than did either Buttram or Burnett, essentially eclipsing their leading man.
Although the MG was a singer, it was his folksy, mellow speaking voice that was much more well known, through his television endeavors. In this he was an employee of one of the most successful and lucrative entertainment organizations in the world. He was also very concerned with our vanishing wilderness.

Fernando, you're a font of knowledge. Rex Allen it is.feaito wrote:Is it Rex Allen?
Allen's co-stars in his Republic Studio singing westerns were Koko the horse, Buddy Ebsen, and replacing Ebsen, Slim Pickens. The movie scene I referred to was of course from "Dr. Strangelove," where Pickens rides an atom bomb down to its zero point.
Rex Allen was the narrator of Disney's "True Life Adventures," where human emotions and behavior were often ascribed to live-action animals. The series took a lot of criticism for allegedly recreating scenes that were supposed to be natural. He also narrated a well-known documentary called "Vanishing Wilderness," and was the narrator of the first animated "Charlotte's Web," among many others.
OK - we are ready for another Mystery Guest.

May I introduce a new Mystery Guest ---
Do you know me?
I started my career on Broadway playing a lowlife character, and over 30 years I rarely played anything else. However, my background was actually rather genteel and Ivy League. I was one of Hollywood's "A" list character actors, with leading man good looks, but didn't really get to play leads until television.
I have the distinction of playing a father and a son in two separate movies, and in another instance I played first the villain, and then the hero, in two versions of the same story.
In my movies I've menaced many of Hollywood's greatest stars, including Gary Cooper, Edward G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster. I was equally at home in dramas and comedies, and a did a lot of television in the 1950s and 60s, including Bonanza, Wagon Train, Combat!, and The Twilight Zone.

Faith and begorrah, as they used to say in Hollywood movies - you're right! The very attractive and highly talented Dan Duryea it is.ken123 wrote:Dan Duryea. He was naturally Irish as are all of the great Hollywood actors,directors,and so on. hehehehehe
Duryea came from a prosperous family in White Plains, NY, and attended Cornell University as an English major. He got his start in acting playing a bad boy in "Dead End" on Broadway. He appeared in "The Little Foxes" on Broadway with Tallulah Bankhead, and reprised the role of Leo Hubbard in the 1940 Hollywood version starring Bette Davis, believably playing a weak and unappetizing young man about 10 years younger than himself. In 1948 he appeared in the film "prequel" to "The Little Foxes," called "Another Part of the Forest." This time he played the part of Leo's father Oscar as a young man, and very effectively, considering the fact that he was over 40 at the time.
Duryea played the bad guy opposite James Stewart in "Winchester 73" - and he later played Stewart's part, the hero, in the TV movie version of the same. By all accounts, Duryea's wicked screen persona was the polar opposite of his real self, but apparently he didn't mind being bad -- it gave him some really meaty roles.

It's very quiet in the office today, so I have time to give you another one:
Do you know me?
I was named for a very famous movie star. I was a teen beauty pageant winner, too. I started out in musical films, but made comedies as well. I really wanted to try dramatic parts, and my persistence paid off, since I won a prestigious award for one of my dramatic roles. My children are as well known as I am. I'm still working, and I frequently guest star as somebody's mother in sitcoms.
