Robinson study with a poker master for the Cincinnati Kid? How did he like Steve McQueen? 30 May 2005 - San Diego, Calif. Response:   Dear Randall, He liked Steve very much. They got along famously. Both fed of each other's wonderful acting. Eddie loved playing cards. The Cincinnati Kid was one of his favorite films: " The man on screen, more than any other picture I ever made, was Edward G. Robinson with great patches of Emanuel Goldenberg showing through". The Cincinnati Kid was recently voted the favorite poker movie by an online survey of 5000 gamblers. It was also just released (this week) as a DVD and the climactic scene is featured in the upcoming documentary on Steve McQueen entitled "The Essence of Cool" (Turner Classic Movies- showing on June 1st) One last point on the film: Variety stated: "...may well be the most suspenseful account of a poker game in film record". Thanks for your question, Francesca Eddie | @ | url I just read on here that Manny had an affair with Marilyn Monroe, Francesca I was wondering when it happened and were they good friends afterwards? 28 May 2005 - Australia Response:   Dear Eddie, My father, Manny and Marilyn were good friends and did two films together: "Bus Stop" and "Some Like It Hot" She also visited my grandfather's home many times for parties. Francesca Bob Beck | @ | url Hello to Francesca, and to Adam, the new grad! I hope you're both doing well. What a lot of fun it must be to field so many questions about Edward G... I'll answer the 'stumper' about Bogart I posed in March: there were five Warner Bros. films, BULLETS OR BALLOTS (1936) through KEY LARGO (1948), an Ed Sullivan appearance (tv, 1956, saluting John Huston), radio (adaptations of two film scripts plus two specials in the '40's, HOLLYWOOD FIGHTS BACK (against the HUAC), I think, and one campaigning to reelect Mr. Roosevelt). That would be TEN 'official' appearances, but since Robinson and Bogart were fairly aligned politically, I don't doubt they shared rallies and other public functions. Anyone have other evidence? --Bob Beck 27 May 2005 - St. Louis, Missouri Response:   Dear Bob, Thanks for the kind words for Adam. We are really proud of him. He received his B.A. in Political Science from California Lutheran University. Some more "evidence" on Bogie and Eddie: They acted together in the film- 'The Amazing Doctor Clitterhouse' (1938)..And the radio version: (1941) (1944) John Huston co-wrote the screenplay with John Wexley. And we found all this pertinant information in YOUR book... Thank you, Francesca Debra A. Jackson | @ | url Night Has A Thousand Eyes - I'm trying to locate a copy of this film for my collection. Do you know where I can find it? 25 May 2005 - Corona, CA Response:   Dear Debra, This is a good question for our website fans, as well as webmistress. Can somebody please help Debra with her question... Thank You, Francesca Webmistress: There are several different sellers offering "Night Has A Thousand Eyes" on video at ebay, for the next few days.

Response:   Dear Mike, Eddie was a "classically" trained actor who studied on scholarship at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. Lee Strasberg acted with my grandfather in the "The Chief Thing" for the Theatre Guild in 1931. Eddie also liked and respected Stella Adler and Sandy Meisner.
