movie stars grace the wrappers." |
Below: valued notes from John Moran Radio was composed of many Film Stars along with the regular only radio performers. Howard Duff & others started out in radio and became film stars Also, popular films were performed on Radio, using stars, such as as Clark Gable, Wallace Beery, Ginger Rogers etc. ---------------------------------------------------------- Examples: Alan Ladd did a one season series called Box 13, about a reporter who answered calls for help. Dick Powell was a Radio Detective. Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby Radio shows ran for many years on Radio. They had famous stars of those days appear on their shows. A few programs: Lux Radio Theater, Screen Guild Playhouse, Director's Playhouse etc.. ---------------------------------------------------------- The Sound Effects & Voices created the "Pictures in your mind," Today, TV shows you the pictures. |
