    I'm thinking of a person

    in Off the Wall

    Posted · Edited by Greybeard

       He has also been in movies with Shirley Maclain, Sofia Loren, Dyan Cannon, Jane Fonda and Natalie Wood.

     

     Here is another odd clue, in one movie, it can be said, one of the main characters was a tree. And to my knowledge, none of the above mentioned women was in that movie.

    Steve Allen died in 2000.  I thought of Benny  Goodman first. Forgot all about Steve Allen!

     

    My mother really liked Glenn Miller... And loved all that era's music. 

     

    I mean,  Cab Calloway fits.  But he was a musician being an actor.  Are the clues wrong?

              He wasn't a musician but played one.  That rules out Cab.  There is also still Gene? Krupa.  I don't know who played Glenn Miller in the Glenn Miller movie or Gene in his movie, so I couldn't guess them.  I thought we were not suppose to look things up.  

            So he is looking for the actor that played them.  There may be others, but those are the only two other movies about musicians I can recall.

     

           I also like swing.  If you ever get a chance to see a band called Voodoo Daddy, use it.   I saw them at Turning Stone casino and they were great.

           This is a long shot.   When I was in first grade, the class saw a movie, I think the name of it was "the life of Benny Goodman."   If that wasn't the name of it, that is what it was about.  I always thought the guy looked like Steve Allen but I saw the movie on TV in the last couple of years and I thought I was wrong.  No doubt in my mind who the leading lady was in that movie.  So I am guessing Steve Allen, but I don't think he ever won an award for that.  Maybe TV. 

         By the way, I saw a drummer movie back then also.  I know the drummer but I have no idea who played him.
