A Tribute to Rudy Vallee
Before Frank Sinatra, and long before Elvis, there was Rudy Vallee, and his megaphone. He was the original crooner. His wife says that the girls threw their panties on stage!

A Tribute to Eli Wallach
One of the greatest character actors in Hollywood, Eli Wallach's debut in Baby Doll (1956) was just a warmup to his later iconic roles in The Magnificent Seven (1960) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1967). The stage-trained actor has great range, but has always been at his best when playing men of dubious character.
Henry B. Walthall
As silent film historian Anthony Slide, quoted on this site, once said, "There is no other player from the silent era so closely associated with one screen role than Henry B. Walthall." That screen role, fortunately or unfortunately, was The Little Colonel in D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation (1915). But there was more to this actor than that, and you'll find it here on this lovingly researched site.
A Tribute to John Wayne
We celebrated the 4th of July with a tribute to the beloved "B" movie, western, and war film star who became an American patriotic icon.
A Tribute to Orson Welles
A salute to the "boy genius" who created arguably the greatest film ever made, but never again reached quite the same heights during the rest of his nevertheless varied and interesting career.
A Tribute to Richard Widmark
He made a big splash in his screen debut, then spent much of his career trying to overcome the impact of that Oscar-nominated performance. Luckily for us, Richard Widmark was successful, and turned in dozens of memorable performances from the 40s to the 90s.
Hank Worden Official Website
Though this is mostly a sales pitch for a video of the one-hour special devoted to the character actor who appeared in several John Wayne films of the 40s, 50s and 60s, you can view a couple of sample film clips and listen to "Hank's Theme," as well as order the video directly if you like.
A Tribute to Robert Young
The man who was Jim Anderson and Dr. Welby on TV also left behind performances in over 100 movies.
