Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
No, not Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers...right era though.
Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland?

All right Dad! Whoo Hoo!
I didn't even think about them. I was torn between Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Abbot and Costella or Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Now I understand the grammy part of the question.
Hi Will,
Got me on that one, I thought it was Martin and Lewis.
By the way when you changed over from Blogger to Beta blogger did you have to alter all your side bar stuff, or did it do it automatically?
It converted most of it, I had to tweak it a little.
I guess the word "actors" threw y'all. I always struggle with using actor versus actress. Darn you politically correctness!
The "showbiz family" thing was a clue..Mickey's parents were vaudeville performers and Judy was in a family act called "The Gum Sisters". Gum was her real family name. Also, Mickey, (not his real name) is now married to Janet Chamberlin, and so am I. :-)
