Look for him in Paris Holiday (1958) with Bob Hope. Sadly, he died the year after it was released. It may have been a new career!Bit Part Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190704883240544188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146092214213444763.post-48181246319158824832010-11-27T10:07:29.089-05:002010-11-27T10:07:29.089-05:00Preston Sturges, the director and writer of The La...Preston Sturges, the director and writer of The Lady Eve, kept a stellar company of supporting actors well showcased. I became a fan of William Demarest as a result of seeing the work he did with Sturges. It was nice to see Eric Blore, long a favorite because of the delightful droll touch he added to the Fred and Ginger confections, in a different venue.Christopher Anne Samsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146092214213444763.post-64481332008120719562010-11-12T12:20:23.332-05:002010-11-12T12:20:23.332-05:00What can I say, Eve.

I am more interested in the Bit Actors, of course, so then I saw Beulah Bondi's name in that movie.<br /><br />A great idea!

I certainly remember Demarest from "My Three Sons" but I always missed William Frawley as Bub, who Demarest replaced when Frawley's health started to weaken. "MTS" was on for a phenomenal twelve seasons.Bit Part Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190704883240544188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146092214213444763.post-13890642743426944822010-11-11T00:39:18.055-05:002010-11-11T00:39:18.055-05:00I moseyed on over to Bit Part Actors tonight and w...I moseyed on over to Bit Part Actors tonight and what should I see...THE LADY EVE in the spotlight...with the careers of three of my favorite of its supporting actors getting special attention. Allen, I hope you have the chance to see this film, it's (IMHO) Preston Sturges' best. Also in the cast is another Golden Age favorite, Eric Blore.<br /><br />This may surprise you, but I wasn't a particularly big Stanwyck fan - I think EVE, CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT and REMEMBER THE NIGHT brought me around on her...now I'll check out anything she's in.<br /><br />Thank you for featuring "my namesake."The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146092214213444763.post-2326601844119734602010-11-10T22:11:19.460-05:002010-11-10T22:11:19.460-05:00All terrific supporting actors and I think you wil...All terrific supporting actors and I think you will enjoy THE LADY EVE. Have to mention that William Demarist was also Uncle Bub on MY THREE SONS. Eric Blore was delightful in the Astaire-Rogers pics in which he appeared.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
