Check out Ray Walstons’ career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
I’ve seen 9 of the 35 films on the chart. Favorites are – The Sting, The Apartment, Silver Streak, Galaxy of Terror (guilty pleasure) and Who’s Minding the Store.
I’ve also seen South Pacific, Paint Your Wagon, Fast Times and Johnny Dangerously.
I vaguely remember Walston as the martian with the antennae on his head back when I was very young. I also dimly remember a series with a talking horse. 60s comedy shows I remember more vividly are Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. Also Thunderbirds and Batman… aaah childhood memories… [wipes tear]
Good stuff. Vote Up!
Ray Walston is not on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon list. He was on the list way back when in 2000 when he was # 446. Then he disappeared from the list’
