Degrees of Separation

[KC]

Ingrid Bergman was in Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey (1994) with Gregory Peck, who was in Wild Bill: Hollywood Maverick (1996) with Clint Eastwood.

Next: Bela Lugosi?

As Gant mentioned, we don't usually count Eastwood's (or other actors') appearances in documentaries in this game.  Also, Bergman (who died in 1982) wasn't really "in" the documentary Theremin (1994), and neither was Gregory Peck.  We don't usually count archival clips of actors and actresses. According to the IMDb, in Theremin, both Bergman and Peck are seen in a clip from Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945), in which the two co-starred. So, if you were going to use Peck, you should have gone directly to Spellbound.  However, since you can't use Peck's appearance in Wild Bill: Hollywood Maverick either ... this really wasn't the best of answers. 

I was actually looking for the answer Gant gave ... I thought The Yellow Rolls-Royce might make a good double feature with Pink Cadillac. (The ubiquitous Michael Hordern was also in The Yellow Rolls-Royce, by the way.)

But, since Gant was happy with Bela Lugosi ... all's good.

Whoops   Sorry KC.  I understand now. [

[KC]

Great!

Do you know the answer to the one Gant posted ... Jerry Lee Lewis?

[Lin Sunderland]

In a word, No.   Sorry I will keep put of this one until I have read all the previous posts.  Lin

That's quite a job ... this is one of the longest threads on the Board!

Gant??I´m not sure if he`s happy but I know that Hemlock is still quite happy

So it`s Jerry Lee Lewis next,right?

[Gant]

I'm always happy Hemlock...'specialy when it's Friday night..and i just got paid...  

[KC]

Gant??I´m not sure if he`s happy but I know that Hemlock is still quite happy

Sorry Hemlock! With you and Gant practically the only "old timers" playing here ... I sometimes think a post is by one of you, when it's by the other one. (And you're both named after Eastwood characters in "spy" movies, too.) Thanks for finding the Yellow Rolls Royce I was looking for!

OK, this question is for Gant: Jerry Lee Lewis doesn't seem to have any actual "acting" credits, not on the IMDb anyway. Are you looking for a movie where he maybe appeared as himself ... maybe along with another singer who also appeared as himself, there and in an Eastwood movie?

[tmw3nyc]

Jerry Lee Lewis played himself in American Hot Wax with Hamilton Camp who was the Garage Attendant in City Heat with Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds

[KC]

Hey, very good, tmw3nyc! (What does all that stand for, anyway?  ) Even better ... Jo Ann Harris (the minx, Carol, in The Beguiled) is in American Hot Wax, too.

I was thinking of Jamboree (1957), which features appearances by many singers, each as "himself," including Lewis and Fats Domino (Any Which Way You Can). But yours is better. Post another!

[tmw3nyc]

okay her is one: Kenny Rogers, the singer

[KC]

Not the pitcher?   

[Gant]

Think I got a little lucky on this one.....

Kenny was in something called Six Pack along with Barry Corbin who was Fat Zak in Any Which Way You Can and Arnspringer in Honkytonk Man..

Well done tmw3nyc... not my link, but just as good.. I'll keep mine to myself, may come in useful later...

Back with another soon

[Gant]

and here it is.

             

Pat O'Brien

[tmw3nyc]

Not the pitcher?   

actually, that is what I meant LOL.  I despise the pitcher !!!!  and Todd Zeile is producing and acting now so, you never know!!!

Well, he certainly wasn't producing the last few months he was with the Yankees!   

[Hemlock]

Pat O´Brien was in Milos Forman`s Ragtime(`81)with Jeff Daniels(Bloodwork)and in The End(`78)with Burt Reynolds(City Heat)who also directed the film.

Next SAM SHEPARD

[Gant]

Hey Hemlock... you were on tv last night. 

Sam was in The Right Stuff alongside Scott Glenn and Ed Harris who were in Absolute Power... and Fred Ward who was in Escape From Alcatraz.

[Gant]

New one

         

Joseph Cotten

[KC]

I imagine there must be lots of connections for Joseph Cotten (one of my favorite old-timey actors), but here's one I found that I like ... Cotten played "Baron Otto von Kleist" in something called Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga (Mario Bava, 1972). Also appearing was Rada Rassimov ... "Maria," the "fresh young whore in the territory" in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

According to the IMDb, the film was called Baron Blood in the US, and is also known as Chamber of Tortures, The Blood Baron, The Thirst of Baron Blood and The Torture Chamber of Baron Blood 

New one: Cotten's co-star in one of Hitchcock's greatest films, Shadow of a Doubt ... Teresa Wright. (I know she was IN a film that Clint appeared in, Escapade in Japan (1957), but that's an "incunable" ... it doesn't count.   )
