RM to Sandy Duncan, in the Cat from Outer Space.
Sandy Duncan was once a guest voice, "appearing" as herself, on the New Scooby Doo Mysteries.
As was Davy Jones, of the Monkees, once, but not in the same episode

Roc,
I was very sorry to hear about your grandfather. The lack of e-mail didn't bother me too much - except to look up things for the business course I'm taking, I really haven't had much time to play with the computer either.
Matthew,
Too easy. Roddy and Kevin Bacon were in "The Big Picture" together.
Mel,
Roddy to Jackie Chan?
1) Roddy to Whoppi Goldberg in "The Magical World Of Chuck Jones."
2) Whoppi to Jackie Chan in "Burn Hollywood Burn, an Alan Smithee Film."
Sally,
Happy belated birthday. You broke my heart by sending out that story from the Philadelphia Inquirer. Finally, a chance to see Roddy on stage and I'm going to be too pregnant to go anywhere!
Oh, well. I still can't connect Roddy to Scooby Doo, Paul.

Sorry, Sally. It was Mel who broke my heart by sending out that article about Roddy playing Scrooge at Madison Square Garden. I wanted to correct my mistake and not accuse you unfairly.

Someone wanted a RM to Jackie Chan link.
RM to Elizabath Taylor (obviously)
ET to Peirce Brosnan in some awful early 80-s made for TV movie, the name of which mercifully escapes me.
Pierce Brosnan to Michelle Yeoh (aka Michelle Kahn) in the upcoming James Bond movie.
Michele Yeoh (Kahn) in "Supercop" or "First Strike" . She played the "younger sister" in his assigned Chinese family while on assignment in Mainland China.

2. Mitchum to RM in 5 Card Stud
or
1. Toshiro Mifune to Robert Wagner in The Winds of War
2. Wagner to RM in the Hart to Hart pilot film

I sang happy birthday to his autographed photo on my wall before the rest of my family came downstairs. They would have laughed at me.

Ahem...here we go:
Scooby Doo had a spin off series called The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, which starred Vincent Price as Vincent VanGhoul.
Anyone who can't finish it from there should die a horrible fiery death!

Thanks, JC. I've been looking for this advertisement since July 97. They (stars) did this right after "Carnegie Hall Celebrates the Glorious MGM Musicals" in July 15-16.

Hi guys,
If you can get your hands on a two week old New York Times newspaper, Sunday, Oct. 5,1997, check out the Arts section page 7. There's a half page color picture of Hal Linden and RM in Scrooge getup. Don't know if that's how they will look at the play but I assume so.

Title: Huels' hefty charge-card debt
October 21, 1997
by Michael Sneed
Mickey & Julie ...
Cabaret diva Julie Wilson, currently headlining at Toulouse Cognac Bar, turned down a proposal of marriage from Mickey Rooney when she was a young MGM starlet. The two had a reunion of sorts in July when alumni of MGM congregated for a photo shoot at a Manhattan studio. Stars included Wilson, Rooney, Van Johnson, Ann Miller, Roddy McDowall and Arlene Dahl, all in matching red silk pajamas, who climbed into an oversized bed to do a photo layout for a national ad campaign featured in 60 current magazines. So where did the Mick end up in the scene? Next to Julie.
For those who couldn't get their hands on that Entertainment Weekly issue, this is what was in the magazine in color.
