    1. Hey Dan. I was originally going to do a complete UMR page on her, but it looks like I will have to do some deep research on her movie career. Currently I am in a time crunch as stuff needs to be completed before school starts again. Once again your tally is the winner. I am impressed that you have seen 10 of the 11 movies posted. That is a decent amount of living Oracle co-stars for her. As for the second list….17 Oscar Winners is pretty good. The North Star has an impressive cast of Oscar winners. Rest In Peace Jane Withers.

  2. No one ever came up with the info that Jane Withers was the last surviving Quigley Top 10 box office star from the 1930’s still alive. She was # 11 in 1936, # 6 in 1937, #8 in 1938 and # 13 in 1939.

    1. Hey Dan. Good information on Jane Withers being so highly ranked on Quigley’s polls. That makes the fact that I could not find much box office information on her even more puzzling.

  3. Director Richard Donner has died at 91. He directed Superman and several Mel Gibson movies.

    RIP

    1. Hey Flora…thanks for the heads up on Richard Donner. Sad news. He left behind many fun movies. Rest In Peace.

    2. Hey Flora. My dad is 1000s of miles away from his movie database so he asked me to put a page together on Richard Donner. Sorry it took a couple of days to complete. I had to work. But here is a page that looks at 20 of his movies.

  4. RIP Charles Grodin, sad news.

    I was posting something on his UMR page a couple of days ago.

    Will be watching Midnight Run as tribute.
