'24' co-star Crewson has had lots of roles

Answer: That is Wendy Crewson, who you might remember from about 150 different projects, because she is one busy actress. She played Tim Allen's ex-wife in the two "Santa Clause" movies. She played Harrison Ford's wife in "Air Force One." She also appeared in "What Lies Beneath" and "Bicentennial Man," among many others. She's appeared in such TV movies as "The Beast," "The Last Bricklayer in America" and "The Matthew Shepard Story." And she plays detective Joanne Kilbourne in a series of "Criminal Instinct" TV movies that are produced in Canada.

Question: I can't help noticing a similarity between Raven, star of "That's So Raven" on the Disney channel, and the little girl who played Cliff Huxtable's granddaughter on "The Cosby Show." Is this the same girl?

Answer: Yep. Raven-Symone, as she is known, played Olivia Kendall on "Cosby" from 1989 until 1992. Then she played Nicole on the ABC sitcom "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" from 1993 until '97. She also provides the voice of Monique on the Disney series "Kim Possible" and has been in several TV movies on the Disney channel, which leads us to say, "Sit down already!"

Question: Is Amber Tamblyn of "Joan of Arcadia" the daughter of Russ Tamblyn, who played the leader of the Jets in the film version of "West Side Story"?

Question: Recently on "Judging Amy," Amy was sitting at the dining room table returning wedding presents. There was a CD playing of a man singing opera. I looked at the end of the program but didn't find the singer's name. Could you tell me the name?

Answer: You mean the episode "Long Goodbye," which aired Nov. 11? The singer is Andrea Bocelli. The song "Con Te Partiro." The CD is "Romanza."

Question: As a long-time viewer of "Murder, She Wrote," I have been curious about the actor Keith Mitchell, who appeared frequently as insurance investigator Dennis Stanton. The show consistently used "old-timers," most of whom I remember from films or old TV series. However, I have no recollection of ever having seen Mitchell in any movie or series before. This can mean one of two things — either my mind is going, as my wife insists, or he didn't have much of a career. Which is the case?
