Half-way there.

In the movies, he's Lamont Cranston. No mention is ever made of this being anything but his real name.
Now, Mr Welles, can you come up with the answer to the question at hand?

I will answer no question before its time.

I can't think of a single popular 1930s actor named "Kent", no. I'll probably kick myself when I do hear the answer. (A friend of mine recently pointed out to me a historical inaccuracy in a Star Trek episode involving the other actor your'e talking about, though.)

clark gable and michael kent...

wait its either michael kent or kent taylor...im switching to kent taylor!

Is that like switching from regular to DeCaf ? Yes, it was indeed Kent "Boston Blackie" Taylor, who in the 30's and 40's had roles in movies like "Death Takes a Holiday" and "I'm No Angel". Then on TV as Boston Blackie and in the series "Rough Riders", a 50's series along the lines of "Brokeback Mountain".

Oh, and the early mention of Clark "Big Ears" Gable was also right, so, there ya go.

The thread is yours again, Pepsirox08.

And those who complain about product placement on TV should see some of those old Boston Blackie episodes. Chesterfields... EVERYWHERE. Even some guy on the street who bums a cigarette, he doesn't ask for "a cigarette", he asks for a Chesterfield. Desk drawers open, there's a pack of them in there. Billboard in the background for them. Every five minutes or so, Boston asks someone, "Got a light for my Chesterfield?". I mean, wow. Even in one episode, he goes aboard a ship, sneaks into the captain's room, and the Cap just happens to have a large banner on the wall above his desk advertising Chesterfields.
After watching that, I had a need to smoke... but I didn't smoke a Chesterfield.

And now, my rant is over.

well then...my turn again!

Which of Superman's former sweethearts became the super-heroine known as Insect Queen?

Incase you havent noticed...im not a DC genious...

Lana Lang.

And now that Clark Gable has been given, I can tell the Star Trek story. In the classic episode "City on the Edge of Forever", when Kirk & Co. go back to 1930 New York, the character Edith Keeler says she is going to see a "Clark Gable movie". In our timeline, Clark Gable had never been anything more than an extra by 1930. Of course, we now know Star Trek must take place in an alternate timeline (because 1996 has come and gone and there was no eugenics war).

yea im way too much of an amateur...lana lang is correct...
Is there a marvel trivia thingy? i would do better there...

There are two Marvel Trivia threads to choose from. These links are to the current (as of 6-18-08) pages:

Well, you got the "Kent Taylor" question correct, something I would've thought CuCr would've gotten, so you're not that bad.

googled it...
