Check out Charles Farrell‘s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
The only one of these films I have seen is The Big Shakedown which is not a favourite. According to my letterboxd account, he was in Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman. I looked it up on imdb and he was an uncredited bell ringer
Happy New Year everyone
Hey Flora…I hope you had a great New Year. Tally count…one for you and one for me….I have seen 7th Heaven. I have not seen his The Big Shakedown….but I want to. As for the missing The Freshman….I did not include many of his uncredited movies from the 1920s…that being one of those movies. Good stuff as always.
Interesting ranks.
Happy New Year to everybody in Ultimate Movie land.
Ranks were straightened out. I have only 11 appearances with Janet Gaynor.
I thought we would have another Douglas Fairbanks here with 0 connections but Charles has 1.

Hey Dan….thanks for the trivia lists on Charles Farrell. He along with Janet Gaynor were one of the biggest and most successful screen duos in the history of movies. Hmmm….trying to figure out which movie you are missing that starred Farrell and Gaynor. Good old Bette Davis saying the day on the Oracle list. 11 Oscar winning co-stars is pretty good…his peak was well over before Oscar even turned 10. Good stuff as always.
Hey Dan…..we are still experiencing lots of behind the scenes issues since our database died about 6 weeks ago. The weird rankings is one of the “problems”….it literally took 6.5 hours to get those rankings to show up right.
