I thought somewhere I read they were doing a remake of the Perry Mason show. Has anyone seen that? Of course kind of hard to replace Raymond Burr! I just watched him last night on TCM in "Rear Window" with Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly...awesome!
OK, here's one for ya. What female actress appeared in both a Chan and Holmes movie? :)
Well, I can think of one actress right off the bat! Mary Gordon who played "Mrs. Hudson" in the Rathbone-Bruce SHERLOCK HOLMES films, played a grandmother whose grand-daughter has disappeared in a CHARLIE CHAN film. I'm a bit over-tired and I can't think of the film right now. I KNOW most of you will know which film I'm thinking of! The detective who helps Charlie out - or I should say, pretends to do so - is one of the bad guys!
Leonard, correct! She was starred as Mrs. Hudson in at least 6 Sherlock Holmes episodes and now I see she was in 2 Charlie Chan films, "Shadows Over Chinatown (1946)" and "The Black Camel (1931)". Remarkably, she also starred in "Frankenstein," "Bride of Frankenstein," and "The Invisible Man!" What a career...and what a memory you have :)
