n/t

[Niagara]

20. I second Whistler162's answer.

Michael Keaton.

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. Yup. Every SAG member must have a unique name

Hence, young Michael Fox had to add a middle initial because there already an older Michael Fox.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

56. There's a silent movie star Harrison Ford with a star on the Walk of Fame.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7434/harrison-ford

[Niagara]

62. I didn't know about this.

I learned something new today.

[jmowreader]

129. He causes no grief with SAG

According to his Wiki page, his last movie was 1932's Love in High Gear. SAG was established in 1933.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. Richard Jenkins Jr.

Interestingly enough, his father was an actor, too, and changed his stage name to Parkyakarkus

[Harker]

43. Albert Brooks.

[Brother Buzz]

44. Correct, and what's his full brother's stage name, and...

what pair of brothers did he first write for in Hollywood?

[Harker]

45. I think he wrote for the Smothers Brothers

but the brother is going to elude me.

[Brother Buzz]

46. Bob Einstein wrote for the Smother's brothers...

but he assumed the stage name of a crazy hapless stuntman he created in earlier skits.

What was Bob and Albert's half brother's name?

Extra credit: Who was the subject of the numerous biographies he authored? (Hint: he followed him west when the Giants moved to San Francisco in 1958).

[Harker]

66. Dang. Super Dave.

I couldn't believe it the first time I heard it, and I still can't.

The hint was my only hope.

[Brother Buzz]

75. Yes, now how about the sports columnist/novelist/television movie script writer half-brother?

Another, albeit an obtuse hint: He lived directly across a swamp (tidal wetlands) from Ross Hodges.

Off topic: Their father's death was a bizarre Hollywood story that merits a mention:

Harry "Parkyakarkus" Einstein suffered a fatal heart attack in 1958, at the age of 54, during a roast in honor of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. After Einstein delivered his monologue, emcee Art Linkletter remarked, "Every time he finishes, I ask myself, why isn't he on the air in a prime time?" Einstein turned to Milton Berle, who was seated next to him on the dais, and said, "Yeah, how come?"—then slumped into his lap. Berle's shout of "Is there a doctor in the house?" was initially thought to be a humorous ad lib, but the gravity of the situation quickly became clear.

Einstein was carried backstage, where five physicians in attendance (the event was a charity benefit for local hospitals) worked to revive him. One surgeon used his pen knife to make an incision for open heart massage; another used the ends of an electric cord as a makeshift defibrillator. With the remaining comedians on the bill reluctant to continue under the circumstances, Linkletter asked Tony Martin to sing a song; Martin's unfortunate choice was "There's No Tomorrow". Ball then came to the microphone and managed only, "I can say nothing," through tears. Arnaz, the closing speaker, said, "This is one of those moments that Lucy and I have waited a lifetime for, but it's meaningless now. They say the show must go on, but why must it? Let's close the show now by praying for this wonderful man backstage who has made a world laugh."

I just watched her break-out performance in 'I Wanted Wings' with William Holden and Ray Milland. That is the movie where she let her hair down over her eye. She later starred in the big hit 'Sullivan's Travels' with Joel McCrea.

(Brooks wrote and directed it too)

[Totally Tunsie]

233. He was fabulous with Julie Hagerty in "Lost In America"!

One of my favorite films. "You LOST the nest egg???"

Great spot also by Garry Marshall as the casino owner.

[Harker]

167. Oops...

yes. Your threads, and the respondents and discussants, are getting pretzled.

[red dog 1]

171. I don't know what that means

Don't worry about the violent criminals who assault, rape, rob banks, or murder people.
Police need to spend their time going after "dangerous" criminals like Pee Wee Herman)
