2021/01/21

Old time radio fans may know J. Carrol Naish (January 21, 1896 – January 24, 1973) best as Luigi Basco, newly immigrated to America from his native Italy in the delightful sitcom Life with Luigi. But as good as he was getting laughs from the audiences in the studio and at home, Naish was equally adept in dramatic roles on the air and on screen. Though he was of Irish ancestry, Naish played almost every ethnicity except his own. His versatility with accents earned him the title “Hollywood’s one-man

2021/01/18

“If I ever do any more radio work, I want to do it on Suspense.” Cary Grant (January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986) made five visits to radio’s outstanding theater of thrills, and I think it’s safe to say he was one of the best radio performers of the scores of stars who stepped up to the microphone. Grant’s characters in his Suspense stories didn’t always synch up with his screen persona, but he was always polished and assured in his performances. In honor of his birthday, here are his four

Known to old time radio fans everywhere as Sam Spade, Howard Duff was one of the biggest names of the radio era. Not only was he a skilled dramatic and comedic actor in front of the microphone, he also worked in the Armed Forces Radio Service and - through his job - helped preserve hundreds of the shows we know and love today. The blacklist and Red Scare paranoia dinged his career, but he emerged and continued to work in film and television through the 1980s. We'll hear him in "A Murderous

2020/12/04

Happy Birthday to writer Cornell Woolrich, born December 4, 1903. An early master of the art of noir fiction, Woolrich’s earliest works were inspired by the writing of F. Scott Fitzgerald before he turned to the pulp detective stories that made him famous. When he started writing for the pulps, he churned out stores at such a rate that he had to use a few pen names, including “William Irish.” Woolrich’s works have been adapted for the big screen (inspiring movies like Rear Window and The Bride Wore

Actress Lynn Bari enjoyed a long career on the big and small screens, and though she never really broke into the starring sphere she appeared in hundreds of films opposite some of the major stars of the era. Her specialty was playing "the other woman" - the man-hungry femme fatale who was always ready with a seductive look or a gun - and she won the admiration of GIs as one of the most popular pinup girls of World War II.
