Joan Crawford wasn't in The Wizard of Oz. Is that what you were talking about?

No. Joan Crawford was in a movie with Frank Morgan who played the Wizard of Oz. She was also in a movie with Billie Burke, Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.

You can do Jimmy Durante much quicker than that. He co-starred on stage in 1936 in the Cole Porter musical Red Hot & Blue. Ethel Merman was his co-star, and Bob Hope was also in it, and both Ethel Merman and Bob Hope guested on TMS.

Now SuperScooter, you did the last one (Joan Crawford), so who's next?
