One and the same. Also was one of the other acts on the Sullivan show when the Beatles made their U.S. debut.

Yes, as Roy pointed out.

Apparently, I munged together two movies - Red Skies of Montana (1952) with Richard Widmark and Ring of Fire (1961) with Frank Gorshin. I'm losing my touch...

Yeah, it's a shame. What gets me is that his career had been very quiet for many years, then he got some recognition circa 2002 for his work playing George Burns on Broadway in "Say Goodnight Gracie". The sad irony is that about the time he gets his career going strong again, he gets sick and dies.

Interestingly enough, this came up at lunch yesterday. I dine every Wednesday with the DARS lunch crew, and we were discussing fires. One of the guys pointed out that grass fires have been clocked at up to 800 yards per minute. That's 2400 feet or about 30 mph. I know for sure I can't do 30, so I wouldn't want to have to outrun one

I've seen them move fast, especially when there's a lot of wind and plenty of dry fuel to make it burn hotter. I've been lucky not to have to fight any moving at 30 mph, though.

And not the only Riddler on the series! Who was the other (no naughty peeking to IMDB!!)?

And who were the three Catwomen (though one was only in the 1966 movie)?

And there were at least three Mr. Freeze's. I can only think of two of them.

The Catwomen I remember are Ertha Kitt, Julie Newmar, and Lee Mariweather. I remember getting into a big argument with my college roommate over that. He didn't remember Lee Mariweather and I didn't remember Ertha Kitt, but we both remembered Julie Newmar.

Wasn't the other Riddler John Astin?

The only one I know is Otto Preminger. But googling revealed the others

I remember Otto best for his role as the commandant in Stalag 17.
