Always good to see ...Becks, no apologies necessary! Always good to see you whenever you show up, LOL!<br /><br />You got the first half of #4 correct, Flynn is buried in Forest Lawn, and that was indeed the doing of his third wife, Patrice Wymore. He never married Beverly Aadland, although they were supposedly engaged at the time of his death. <br /><br />Although his family (daughter Rory) is trying to move him to Hobart, Tasmania, this is <i>not</i> the place where Flynn himself said he wanted to be buried. On one of the websites about Rory's book (http://baronofmulholland.com/), she says that she wants to bury him in Hobart because "he is loved and honored" there. <br /><br />So I leave it to you to find out where Errol wanted to be laid to rest...<br /><br />Re #2, yep! Clark Gable is the answer! Good job!<br /><br />And I agree with you (and Grand Old Movies) that Olivier was a MUCH better choice! <br /><br />BTW, Vivien Leigh didn't turn down the part of Elizabeth Bennett...she wanted it badly, but was passed over for Greer Garson.Paul 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11500682719536011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-28823796755255520232011-08-02T12:50:55.729-04:002011-08-02T12:50:55.729-04:00#2 is Clark Gable.

#4...I'm awfully late getting here. Sorry guys!<br /><br />#4 He is buried in Forest Lawn in CA. He wanted to be buried in Hobart, Tasmania, his home town, at least according to one of his grandsons. I also heard that his last wife, the really young one, Beverly I think, had him buried in an unmarked grave for a long time. Don't know if this is true.<br /><br />I read on his daughter's website that the Academy of Motion Pictures has refused to do any kind of posthumous award for his contributions to movies - no reason given. Schmucks.<br /><br />Love your picture - did he ever take a bad one? Even when he was older and looked terrible, it was still The Flynn.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-24064604484567393852011-08-02T11:47:19.128-04:002011-08-02T11:47:19.128-04:00Recap: still need to answer Who Said This? #2, and...Recap: still need to answer <i>Who Said This?</i> #2, and questions #2 and 4.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506998760851891610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-33048608720096493602011-08-02T09:28:27.510-04:002011-08-02T09:28:27.510-04:00jnpickens, very good, you got part of the bonus qu...jnpickens, very good, you got part of the bonus question, but for the free pass we still need the name of the film made by Nat and RJ.<br /><br />And yes! #1 is <i>The Canterville Ghost</i>!Paul 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11500682719536011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-39102071366635582102011-08-02T01:05:23.266-04:002011-08-02T01:05:23.266-04:00Wasn't the play that Natalie and RJ did togeth...Wasn't the play that Natalie and RJ did together Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on TV?<br /><br />Is number 1 with Una O'Connor "The Canterville Ghost"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-86420119048053198892011-08-01T22:19:34.320-04:002011-08-01T22:19:34.320-04:00Anonymous, you got it!

(like I said, a wild guess, but she's the only 10-yr-old I can think of at Fox).<br />The actress who wanted the Elizabeth Bennett role - wld that be Vivien Leigh?
