20 Forgotten Stars of OLD Hollywood

[@dkphillips1654]

There was an Elisha Cook Jr who was an actor beginning in the late 1920's but the woman you list as "Alicia Cook Jr" is actually Barbara Stanwyck. Nice try.

[@randallstewart1224]

Right. The piece was referenced to Cook (male), but the opening film clips were of Barbara Stanwyck. I assume the third woman appearing in the later clips was Marsh, as I know nothing about her.

[@marianneegland5576]

I thought so..

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

How could anybody mess up so badly in identification?

#BeaArthur played Dorothy in the very popular comedy Golden Girls (1985-1992) She didn't fade in obscurity and is not forgotten.

[@searchthewind99]

They were talking about Jean Arthur not Bea Arthur.

@searchthewind99: Ooops, my mistake. Sorry 🫣🫣🫣

Charlie Farrell had a fair recognition for his TV work in the 1950s. If I recall correctly, he played the father character in a show titled My Little Margie, which was one of the most popular shows in the mid to late 1950s. I was ten or so at the time, but I recognized him immediately.

[@willyboy3581]

Me, too, Randall. I seem to recall that he had each episode's kiss-off line: "Well, heh-heh, that's my little Margie." Farrell was another one of those who had the sense to buy real estate in Palm Springs back in the 20s and 30s. One of his holdings became, I believe, the exclusive Racquet Club of Palm Springs.

Mae Marsh was not in Gone With The Wind.

Gladys Cooper played just "a refined upper-class character" in 'My Fair Lady'? She played Higgins' mother!!!

[@jodavis8640]

Alicia Cook, Jr? So why did you have scenes with Barbara Stanwyck😊?

[@dianagrayson5096]

Too many mistakes.

[@willyboy3581]

I couldn't absolutely swear to it, but I recall reading that Robert Taylor's over thirty years under contract to the same studio (MGM) is a record. By the way, he's seen here in a couple of clips from "Escape" and "Her carboard lover" with the great Norma Shearer (two of Miss Shearer's last three films.)

[@jodavis8640]

And then there’s Cary Grant whom you’re calling Charles Farrell.

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

"Alicia Cook, Jr."? LOL!!!!!!! There is no such person in the history of Hollywood by that name, let alone was a clone of Barbara Stanwyck. Elisha Cook, Jr., was a man, a male character actor who was born in 1903 and died at the age of 91 in 1995. How could anybody mess up so badly that it is hilarious?

[@stephenolson532]

Never heard of'em

[@GoldenAgeIcons]

Which proves the title of the video

[@nomadpi1]

Obviously, the title 's meaning escaped you.
