    Good guess. No. He wasn't as famous as Spencer, but he made a name for himself. Hoping that this isn't throwing a monkey wrench in here but he had career on the side as a singer with one song in 1962 that reached #5 in the Billboard 100. He starred in a popular TV show that lasted six years (1957 to 1963. Frequently starred with Gary Cooper.

    This for those walking Oscar thesaurus types, which actor won the inaugural Best Supporting Actor award in 1936 and has won it three times?
  4. Human without the bean
    Someone who had the same name as John Merrick?

    Dang it . Oh, I got it. Glen Campbell and Neil Diamond went through my head but that's wrong. It's "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head".

    I checked it out, you're right, Roddy McDowall wasn't nominated in the category of Best Supporting Actor because Twentieth Century Fox mistakenly nominated him for Best Actor instead. I'm guessing then, that the Academy removed his official nomination because of the error. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, but didn't win. I was right Roddy McDowall didn't win an Oscar. In fact, he was never nominated (except through the clerical error that probably cost him the Oscar). Here's Twentieth C. statement released to the trade papers at the time and an apology to Roddy McDowall. "We feel that it is important that the industry realize that your electric performance as Octavian in 'Cleopatra,' which was unanimously singled out by the critics as one of the best supporting performances by an actor this year, is not eligible for an Academy Award nomination in that category . . . due to a regrettable error on the part of Twentieth Century Fox."

    No, he was nominated. I had a mental block until I finally came up with this. It's because I've been thinking about something for this thread but instead I'm going to start a new thread that will be a different take on movies. Hope it's fun. By the way, I don't think Roddy McDowall ever received an acting Oscar. He may have gotten an Honorary Oscar but they don't count imo. And unless you happen to collect Roddy McDowall memorabilia or have a thing for him and his movies, career, etc. or are a walking Oscar thesaurus I would put this trivia at about 8 or 8.5 in terms of difficulty, ten being the highest.

    Yes. I probably gave it away with "The Hitcher" didn't I, made it too easy?

    Eight minutes later, and 39 hours. What cost actor Roddy McDowall a Best Supporting actor Oscar for his performance as Octavian in the 1963 Epic film "Cleopatra"?
  11. Human without the bean
    Yes, in the same state capital city that doesn't have a McDonald's, or a Burger King for that matter. Population around 7,500. Interesting note. Vermont has the most fast foods restaurants of any state in the U.S.. I should pack up and move there, it sounds like a nice place to live.
  12. Human without the bean
    Nope. Not that narrow.
  13. Human without the bean
    Ouch, bad scene man, bad scene. Wanted Dead or Alive The Hitcher Blind Fury
  14. Human without the bean
    You're on the right track there George. Both those picks are two and three in terms of their population. But no, geographically, it's a much narrower state.

    Maybe you'll remember "Cecilia" from ~Simon & Garfunkel~ and they're album "Bridge Over Troubled Water". It did reach #1 on the top 100 for Cashbox in 1970. It did play on the radio. FREE POST

    No. It's on the other side of the country.

    What was the first U.S. state to designate Labor Day as a holiday? or. What is least populated capital city is the U.S.? I thought I had already posted last night? Apparently I forgot to hit submit reply.

    Wow, maybe you were around in the late 60's George like I was. More lyrics are "making love in the afternoon with [song title], up in my bedroom", making love,' I got up to wash my face when I come back to bed someone's taken my place".

    Maybe, but it's definitely one of them.
