They later formed a production company, and Larson produced such Bridges films as The Baby Maker (1970), Mike’s Murder (1984), Perfect (1985) and Bright Lights, Big City (1988). You learn something new every day. Co-written by Grandpa Munster!    Posted:   Sep 21, 2015 - 12:36 PM     By:   Montana Dave   (Member) I read about Mr. Larson's death in today's New York Times. Better picture of him in Variety, but The Times gave him a bit more breathing room about the 'romantic affair he was having with Actor Montgomery Clift'. Wow, LUCKY LARSON!    Posted:   Sep 21, 2015 - 12:55 PM     By:   ZapBrannigan   (Member) I've been watching The Adventures of Superman on MeTV with great enjoyment, and Jack Larson plays the absolute lead in many episodes. And if you watch closely, he was a very good actor, maybe the best in the cast. He was easily better and more genuine than the expected standards for kids' TV.    Posted:   Sep 21, 2015 - 7:11 PM     By:   msmith   (Member) Sad news. He was such a "cutie pie" back in the 50's. Rest in peace.    Posted:   Sep 22, 2015 - 10:34 PM     By:   John Black   (Member) The Jack Larson who recorded for Fraternity Records was actually a different "Jack Larson." This was verified by Jack Larson number one (the one who played Jimmy Olsen) a few years ago.    Posted:   Sep 23, 2015 - 12:32 AM     By:   ZapBrannigan   (Member) The Jack Larson who recorded for Fraternity Records was actually a different "Jack Larson."

I was going to post that I didn't believe it was his voice whatsoever.    Posted:   Sep 23, 2015 - 5:05 AM     By:   CindyLover   (Member) Bummer. Still fun to listen to...    Posted:   Sep 23, 2015 - 4:04 PM     By:   John Black   (Member) Yeah,I really enjoy "the other Jack Larson" as well. Jack Larson number two appeared in a couple of films, namely TEENAGE MILLIONAIRE (in which he warbled the rockin' tune "Back to School Blue"), and THE YOUNG SWINGERS (in which he did some celebrity impressions). In the great tradition, the '45 version of "Back to School Blue" had more of a rock and roll arrangement, while the film version had a jazzier big-band arrangement. Perhaps the two Jack Larsons were one of the reason that SAG decided that two actors couldn't use the same stage name? I thought for years that "Jimmy Olsen" had later become a rock and roll singer.    Posted:   Sep 24, 2015 - 6:11 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) I read about Mr. Larson's death in today's New York Times. Better picture of him in Variety, but The Times gave him a bit more breathing room about the 'romantic affair he was having with Actor Montgomery Clift'. Wow, LUCKY LARSON! Twice as lucky. As I heard it, Clift and Kevin McCarthy were vying for Larson's attention.    Posted:   Sep 24, 2015 - 6:12 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) I remember his son, actor Darrell Larson, introduced him on a radio event to read some short, non-fiction stories he wrote. One was about meeting Greta Garbo after she retired. It was wonderful.    Posted:   Sep 25, 2015 - 8:06 AM     By:   Montana Dave   (Member) I read about Mr. Larson's death in today's New York Times.

As I heard it, Clift and Kevin McCarthy were vying for Larson's attention. I'd never heard about Kevin McCarthy before. However, if indeed there was some sort of 'contest' for Larson's attentions, I can't imagine much if any sway towards Kevin McCarthy when he's standing next to Montgomery Clift! McCarthy had, well, teeth like a horse. And on that note, I think I'll leave off any further comparisons.    Posted:   Sep 26, 2015 - 6:59 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Personally, I've always thought that each was very good-looking in his way. But, what the hell do I know? I'm straight.    Posted:   Sep 26, 2015 - 7:09 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Incidentally, when somebody started another Larson thread on the General Board, I added a link to this thread here, so I guess it's only right and proper that I now post a link here to the other thread. No sense in two sets of Larson fans keeping secrets from each other. http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=111894&forumID=1&archive=0     Non-Film Score Discussion: JACK LARSON R.I.P.    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
