Answer: Yep. Kind of cool, isn't it? The street is a standing set at Universal Studios that was built in 1946. It has appeared in the movies "Harvey," "Bedtime for Bonzo," "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" and "Delta House," as well as in such TV series as "The Munsters," "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries," "Providence" and "Leave It to Beaver." Golly!
Question: I am inquiring about a TV movie from the 1980s from the Disney Channel. It was like the movie "Beetlejuice" about a family who moved into a haunted house. I would love for my children to see it. Can you tell me the title and if it's on video or DVD?
Answer: Sounds like the 1986 TV movie "Mr. Boogedy," with Richard Masur, Mimi Kennedy and David Faustino. The title role was played by Howard Witt, who also appeared in the 1987 follow-up "Bride of Boogedy." Neither film is on DVD.
Question: The man who plays Frank on "CSI: Miami" is now wearing a police uniform and has his head shaved. What happened?

Question: Could you please tell me who sings the song on the Old Navy sweater commercial that includes the words "take my sweater"? I sing this to my Chihuahua when she shivers!

Question: Could you please tell me who does the narration for "Pushing Daisies" and where else I may have heard his voice?

Question: The wildfires in California reminded me of Linda Darnell, a strikingly beautiful actress who died in a fire. Didn't she perish trying to save a friend's children from a fire? Was it a kind of fire like the ones in Southern California?
Answer: Darnell died April 10, 1965, as the result of a fire at the home of her secretary in Glenview, Ill. She had spent the night there after watching one of her old movies, "Star Dust." She was 41. No children were involved.
