Hollywood Research

Greetings,

I am trying to find the name of the show that Barbara Stanwyck and Sterling Hayden starred in on either Playhouse 90 or the Climax show in 1955, 56, or 57 at CBS Television City Hollywood, Calif. John Frankenheimer was the director.

Also, I am trying to learn the name of the lounge that Clint Eastwood played piano at next to the famous Schwab's Drug Store located at Sunset Boulevard and Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Hollywood in 1956 or 57.

I'm in the process of writing a book and I desperately need this information. Anyway you can be of help will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

The only one that IMDb shows that is close is "A Sound of Different Drummers" (1957) on Playhouse 90, which has Hayden and Frankenheimer, but no Stanwyck. They also worked together on "The Last Man", but that aired on January 9, 1958. IMDb doesn't show any Stanwyck credits for Playhouse 90, and none for either actor on Climax!. The closest connection I can find for Stanwyck is that she was in the 1952 film Clash by Night, based on the Odets play. The same play was adapted for Playhouse 90 by Frankenheimer and broadcast live on June 13, 1957. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:49, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Whats the religion of the Turkish actor his name is Engin Altan Düzyatan? I would like know if he is Muslim or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.31.54.218 (talk) 14:50, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Header amended to something more meaningful. Everyone who comes here needs to know something. -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 18:43, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

...such as how to come up with a useful title. :-) StuRat (talk) 19:22, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

We have an article about him, although it doesn't say. Still, considering approximately 100% of people in Turkey are Muslim, I would imagine he probably is too. (Not that that necessarily means he is a practising Muslim, but Muslim by heritage at least.) Adam Bishop (talk) 08:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

pulling rank

It's understood Robert Fuller served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. What rank was he when he got out?24.90.204.234 (talk) 19:46, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

The linked Robert Fuller was born during the war. Perhaps you mean a different one? 75.41.110.200 (talk) 20:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

There's also the television actor Robert Fuller. According to a fan site "he served Korea as a sergeant First Class with the 24th Infantry". --Antiquary (talk) 21:00, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

That's the one. Thank you so much.24.90.204.234 (talk) 23:56, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
