Four For Friday - Including A Classic Hollywood Item

#1 & #2 - This movie is in the final stages of production but has hit some big delays. The movie stars this A list tween star (A list only refers to his tweenness) as he attempts to break out into completely different roles. The problem the production is having is that they keep trying to get songs contributed for the movie and every artist just laughs and says no when they find out who the movie stars. At this point, the movie is just going to be filled with songs of anyone who says yes no matter who it is.

#3 & #4- This A+++ lister from days gone by was an Academy Award nominee/winner? and no one will have any doubts he was an A lister. Anyway, back in the day, this actor was also the man you turned to when LSD was just making its way into Hollywood. Everyone wanted to try it and this actor was about the only person who could supply it. It is said he used it almost everyday from the time he first tried it. That could explain why he didn't work much, if at all after first trying it, despite being in his earning years still. He was once married to a C list actress who has one of the most remarkable true life experiences ever.

efron for 1 - what about '17 again' for the film? I saw a trailer for it a while back and it looked truly awful. I felt really bad for matt perry...from studio 60 to this?

So if the tweener is blind #1, is the movie name blind #2?

Cary Grant and Betsey Drake

Janepod said...

Oh, my bad. I thought he was actually married to Liz Sheridan.

Nicole said...

My first thought for #1 was Zac Efron and "17 Again." Seems like they've been working on that movie forever. And Jenna, I totally agree - poor Matthew Perry!

Janepod said...

#2 - Wm. Holden.

I think you've got it, budford. Cary Grant's LSD use is a pretty open secret, and according to her imdb bio. Betsey Drake was rescued from the Andrea Doria when it sank-that's a pretty remarkable true life experience.

This is probably Zac Efron in that 17 again movie.
I thought of Marlon Brando for the second one . . . . He all but stopped acting.

Robert Mitchum for the 2nd one? He was into pot for sure, maybe LSD too?

shazzzba said...

YES, CARY GRANT ON 3 & 4...IT WAS PART OF HIS THERAPY, IN HIS BIO HE ADMITTED THIS OPENLY...

1 & 2 WHO KNOWS

lutefisk said...

Definitely Cary Grant--he said he retired from movies young because he didn't want to be playing a grandfather.
