popularity with Guys and Dolls, Kaye scored another Broadway-to-Hollywood
triumph as Marryin' Sam in both the stage and screen versions of Li'l
Abner (1959). He also appeared in such feature films as Sex and the
Single Girl (1964), Cat Ballou (1965), Sweet Charity (1969)
and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988, his last film role), and in was in a
number of made-for-television movies, the last being The Big Knife
(1988). GENE NELSON (1920-1996), an actor, director and
screenwriter, appeared on both stage and screen. He earned a Tony Award
nomination for Follies and won the Golden Globe as Most Promising
Newcomer (1951) for his role in Tea for Two. In all, he appeared in
some 25 plus films, the last being S.O.B. (1981). Nelson directed a number of
films, including the Elvis Presley vehicles Kissin' Cousins (1963) and
Harum Scarum (1965), and the TV series The Rifleman, The
Donna Reed Show and Mod Squad. JOSEPH BURKE (b. 1945), a
regional stage veteran,was making his only Broadway appearance, but
appeared in two dozen TV series between 1975 and 1995 and many commercials, cast
as Mr. Goodwrench and The Irish Spring Man. TOMMY BRESLIN (b. 1946)
played supporting roles in 7 Broadway shows, mostly musicals, between 1969
and 1981. Actor and dancer TIM CASSIDY went on to play in the ensemble
cast of the hit musicals A Chorus Line and Dreamgirls. PAULA
