Real name was Theodor Suess Geisel
uh, TV show? The only one I thought of was a cartoon, The Wubbulous World of Dr. Suess.

Don Ho

Subject: Re: Name that Actor Tue Dec 23, 2008 1:03 pm

Have no idea what his real name is

But he was a singer [ he died recently]

He had a variety show once

And he made several guest star appearances on 1970s TV shows like the Brady Bunch; Sanford and Son and Love Boat

Subject: Re: Name that Actor Tue Dec 23, 2008 2:54 pm

I think he kept his real name
Donald Ho

There was The Don Ho Show on in the 70s, but only for a very short time.

and GS is right; he used to make many cameo appearances during the year and on various Christmas specials.

Subject: Re: Name that Actor Tue Dec 23, 2008 3:21 pm

Donald Tai Loy Ho was his full name

Why isn't Catbox playing this game?

He watches all those old movies

He might know who she is

Cat has seen her in some of his movies, I bet.

Subject: Re: Name that Actor Fri Dec 26, 2008 6:02 am

She sang at an Inauguration Ball for a President. And was married 5 times. She is still singing and acting.

Subject: Re: Name that Actor Sat Dec 27, 2008 10:56 am

Her best-known film is probably Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
(can't use this one for points now.)
