Leeny. Racking my brains to find an answer for you. James Mason is an open-ended Group so never dealt with that issue. I know that Moderators are able to adjust settings for their Groups. Have you tried that? Also I would email goodreads. They are quite helpful. Wish I had a better answer for you!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Sam Jaffe!!!!! And yes he was married to Bettye Ackerman!!!

. I just started The 500. A debut novel by Matthew Quirk that many have compared to The Firm. I actually like it better as the main character is extremely engaging and quite a bit of tongue in cheek humor scores high!

Howard wrote: "Come on Rick, you know this guy.

The first two clues are movies & the third, a TV show."

Now it can't be James Mason! Hmmmm Paul Muni? But he was never on tv. Robert Young was Marcus Welby but can't match him to the films. Richard Chamberlain perhaps?
