Given name: Ann Swoyer Barto. Actress, singer, comedienne on stage, screen and television (she even immortalized Bounty paper towels as "the Quicker Picker Upper"). She had a rather nasal voice and a sarcastic and self-deprecating manner - in a funny sort of way, of course. She was lots of fun. Shown here (right) with Gloria DeHaven (center) and June Allyson in "The Three B's" number from Best Foot Forward, 1943.

Given name: Robert Walker; born in Salt Lake City, Utah. A very fine actor. Equally adept at comedy and drama, Bob Walker's performance in Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951) was nothing short of excellent. He also did fine dramatic acting in Selznick's Since You Went Away (1944) and Minnelli's The Clock (1945). But he was most popular in light-weight comedies such as Her Highness and the Bellboy (1945), See Here, Private Hargrove (1943) and One Touch of Venus. Sadly, his career was cut short in 1951 by an untimely death, and we'll never know to what heights Robert Walker could have soared. Married to actress Jennifer Jones (1939 - 1944).

Note: There are several actors with the name of Robert Walker

Given name: Susan Ker Weld; born in New York, New York. "Tuesday" was her nickname as a child. Child model turned actress. In the 1950s and '60s, fans followed her personal life in the fanzines and tabloids -- nervous breakdowns, alcoholism, and love affairs -- with as much delight as they found in her on-screen appearances. She climbed her way up from low-budget exploitation films to some good roles but, though she is certainly very talented, she never seemed to get the roles that would elevate her to major stardom. But, she's still working on that!
