Rita Moreno was a very sexy stripper(topless) in the criminally overlooked private eye thriller "Marlowe" with James Garner, who in his Rockford series appeared with Tom Selleck (Lance White).

Next up: Richard Dawson(by the way, he asked out a contestant he had kissed on Family Feud and eventually married her).

Had to jump in here on this one....cause I didn't have to "look anything up"... :lol:

Richard Dawson was in Hogan's Hero's with Ivan Dixon, who directed a number of MPI episodes...unless it doesn't count because he was behind the camera?

Have we done W.C. Fields already? :magnum:

308Guy,
Not to be a wowser or anything but I don't think it counts. Could Judge Conch, creator of this thread, rule on this please?
I think behind the scenes talent, tech people, that's stretching it, because then you might as well throw in everybody at the studio.
By the way, Ivan Dixon(Kinch on Hogans Hero) was a very interesting guy, the talent he had as a actor and director far eclipsed all the other people in Hogan's Heroes.
I do like your WC Fields challenge. Fields was in The Bank Dick(if you haven't seen this classic comedy you have been cheating yourself) with Shemp Howard. Shemp appeared with his brother Moe in the 3 Stooges, after Shemp died Moe appeared with two other Stooges in Four For Texas with Frank Sinatra. Frank was in Magnum.

So, Conchmeister, what about Richard Dawson?

Ok, we'll go with the "negative" of the benefit of the doubt...it didn't count....BUT

Richard Dawson was in an episode of "Mama's Family" in 1983...which also had Carol Burnett, on occasion,(6 episodes..but then we could go with the ties to The Carol Burnett show... :) ), who we all know was Rembrandt's Girl! 8)

There are so many ways to go with this one, just went with the one that presented itself first.

Good job on WC!

How about Hayley Mills?

Hi Chick,
Matthau was in The Bad News Bears with Jodie Foster who was in Bonanza with Dan Blocker who was in Lady in Cement with Frank Sinatra who was in Magnum.

Next up: D. Trump, a NYC businessman who has moved down south somewhere(was in a surprising number of tv shows/movies).
This pick is meant in fun, weather you think he is a buffoon or not, we can keep this civil, guys.
