Answer: James Gregory

I first saw James Gregory with Vincent Price in an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" entitled "The Perfect Crime". He gave an excellent performance as a lawyer who proved that crime isn't perfect. Great actor -- they should all be that good.
7. This actress was mother to Mia Farrow and was a school classmate to Viven Leigh. She played Jane to Tarzan in several films. She was married to director John Farrow for 27 years until his death in 1963. Her birthdate: May 17, 1911.

Answer: Ginger Rogers

Born Virginia Katherine McMath in Independence, Missouri, Ginger and Fred Astaire were first paired in 1933 in the film "Flying Down to Rio". It was all uphill from there!

Answer: Hume Cronyn

Hume Blake Cronyn was born on July 18, 1911 in London, Ontario, Canada. He made his US film debut in the Hitchcock classic "Shadow of a Doubt". In 1942 he married actress Jessica Tandy, they were married until her death in 1994. He died in 2003.

Answer: Margaret Sullavan

This lady had a very tragic life. She was married 4 times and it seemed that the last marriage was the only one that took. Of her 3 children, 2, Bridget and Bill, spent some time in mental institutions. A very sad story indeed.
12. This actress is more well known to the Spanish old movie buffs than the American. I saw her in the Spanish version of "Dracula" as Eva --the equivalent of Mina. She did an excellent job. Her birthdate: July 27, 1910.

Answer: Lupita Tovar

In many ways her version of Mina was superior to that of Helen Chandler due to the fact that Helen wasn't as dramatic as Lupita. In my opinion, if you're being preyed upon by a vampire, the least you can do is get a bit more upset. Anyway, about Lupita Tovar, in 1932 she married the executive producer of the Spanish version of "Dracula", Paul Kohner.

They were married for 56 years until he died in 1988.
13. YEEEHAWW! This next actor is one of the most popular western actors. He made films from the 30s to the 60s --mostly if not all--westerns. He was born on November 5th, 1911.

Answer: Roy Rogers

Roy mostly used his own name in his pictures, occasionally being billed as "Sons of the Pioneers". He, of course, had his famous horse Trigger with him all of the time. Roy died on July 6, 1998 of congestive heart failure. Westerns just aren't my thing. Dad has tried to get me into them, but I'm more the horror nut.
14. This legendary writer had 9 of his plays turned into movies, including "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". His birthdate is March 26, 1911.

Answer: Tennessee Williams

Born Thomas Lanier Williams in St. Louis, Missouri, Williams wrote many plays including the ones mentioned in the question. He died on February 25, 1983 after choking on a bottle cap. Umm, no comment for this one.
15. This gentlemen is one of my favorite character actors. He was in many episodes of "I Love Lucy" as Ralph Ramsey and a regular on "The Jack Benny Program". He had one word that he always introduced himself with: "Yeeeessss!" Born on May 6th, 1911 he is __________ ?

Answer: Frank Nelson

Frank was a trip. He also played Freddie Fillmore on "I Love Lucy". He passed away on September 12th, 1986. A great actor. Well, I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed making it.
