some unnamed visitor didnt know who jane wyman was, or that she was ronald reagans first wife back when he was a new deal democrat. tcm has a bloc of wyman today celebrating her birthday. the movie she and reagan met on is playing now on tcm, brother rat, also starring a young eddie albert.
whoops, its not brother rat, its the sequel, brother rat and a baby.
arthur treacher also has a role in brother rat. i knew him only for his fish and chips franchise.
"Born Arthur Veary Treacher in Brighton, East Sussex, England, he was the son of a lawyer. He established a stage career after returning from World War I, and by 1928 he had come to America as part of a musical-comedy revue called Great Temptations. When his film career began in the early 1930s, Treacher was Hollywood's idea of the perfect butler, and he headlined as the famous butler Jeeves in Thank You Jeeves and Step Lively Jeeves--based on the P.G. Wodehouse character. He played a butler in numerous other films including: Personal Maid's, Mister Cinderella, Bordertown, and Curly Top. By the mid 1960s, Treacher was a regular guest on The Merv Griffin Show. The image of the proper Englishman served him well, and during his later years he lent his name to a fast food chain known as Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips."
