Child star with a powerful singing voice who played the perfect girl next door in Hollywood films of the 30s and 40s
When a teenage Deanna Durbin appeared on screen in the 1930s, wearing a decorous white dress with her hands clasped together, singing with a bell-like purity, audiences sighed contentedly. And so did film and music executives. In the days when child stars were wholesome, Durbin was everyone's idea of the perfect girl next door, and she was a huge money-spinner. Audiences flocked to see her musical comedies and, after she had trilled numbers such as It's Raining Sunbeams (in the film One Hundred Men and a Girl, 1937), Home Sweet Home (in First Love, 1939) and Waltzing in the Clouds (in Spring Parade, 1940), her fans queued to buy the latest record bearing her name.

Ever dreamed of scoring a date with the "D!ck in a Box" guys? No? Well, read on anyway. Host Justin Timberlake and partner-in-crime Andy Samberg brought the dynamic duo back to "Saturday Night Live" on last night's episode in a sketch entitled "It's a Date" (a.k.a. "The only dating game show still on TV"), which also featured a crowd-pleasing appearance by Dan Aykroyd and Steve Martin's "wild and crazy" Festrunk brothers. As expected, J-Tim and A-Sam stole the show with such immortal lyrics as "Lay you down slow and do you right/Both of us railing on your butt/Romance" and "Girls can't...

The surprise cameos in last night's Justin Timberlake-helmed "SNL" didn't stop with the Five-Timers Club. In the first post-monologue sketch of the night, the question of whether Andy Samberg would return to appear alongside Jt was answered with a resounding "Yes."
But instead of an "SNL Digital Short", the pair were contestants on "It's A Date" (think "The Dating Game" but with fewer rules) competing against none other than the Wild & Crazy Guys, Dan Aykroyd & Steve Martin.
Also, competing for the affection of Vanessa Bayer's single lady was Bobby Moynihan as contestant number one, who, in perfect straight-man fashion, quickly realized he was going to lose.
Watch the clip above and let us know what you thought of all the old school cameos in this episode.

Tired of so many look-alike movies, each one cobbled together from imitation parts of the same unworthy blueprint? Want something unique, something marvelously different? Your wish is granted - here lands The Fairy! Beautifully off-kilter, romantic yet weird, zany from top to bottom. It takes the familiar notion of post-amelie lightweight romati-quirk, shakes it up in a misshapen, cracked bottle, and then uncorks it sideways. It's a date movie for people who aren't sure if they're on a date or not....
